your first mistake was believing the moniker "waterproof".

bronco, thanks for the link. I added my comments suggesting that road access not be changed in Hyalite canyon. It took, like, two minutes.

I wish I had a snowmachine. Instead, I'm putting together a winter bike: Fatty SnowCat rims, Schwalbe tires, all on a single speed frame. Ride on.

I sense the potential for big money from video sales of "Dumbass Teenagers Gone Wild, Vol. 1". Anybody got a camcorder?

Is this good PR for Saks Fifth Avenue?

ice climbs are "in" up Hyalite canyon.

Who remembers bad anchors? That's what selective memory is for.

I'm getting me a new gun with the money saved from $0.25/gal gas from soon-to-be US occupied Iraq.

Never sleep. Keep moving. Your 20 degree bag will be perfect for filling out the pack you carry, or for filling a closet.

cut and pasted from codyice.com: Hello All, We have less than one month to save ice climbing access into Bozeman's Hyalite Canyon - one of North America's premier areas! The proposed Travel Plan will effectively keep any climbers without a snowmobile from accessing the ice. The alternative is to keep the roads open to vehicles to the current parking lots at Grotto Falls and Pallisade Falls. Throughout the surrounding Gallatin Forest there are numerous quality cross-country ski and snowmobile venues - including the Hyalite terrain above the two parking lots. As for ice climbing, on-the-other-hand, it is all we have. Please read the below pasted letter by Chris Naumann outlining some steps we can take. If you are a professional photographer, business owner, gear vendor, sales rep, or writer/publisher please take a few moments to write a letter outlining the recreational and economic importance this area has to your business. As Chris says below, we feel the USFS basically has no idea just how many ice climbing user days Hyalite Canyon recieves. If you don't have time to craft your own letter, PLEASE check in with Chris at the addresses below to get a form letter you can copy and sign. Thanks in advance for your help. Yours, Joe Josephson Joe Josephson 524 Professional Drive Suite C Bozeman, Montana 59718 phone: (406) 582-0668 fax: (406) 587-5870 Hey Gang-- I don't know if any of you have caught wind of the proposed travel plan for the Gallatin National Forest. The travel plan is a very comprehensive overhaul of the intended-use designations and travel restrictions for the entire road/trail system. Of particular concern is the Winter Use Plan for Hyalite Canyon. From interpreting the usage map, it seems that the road would be plowed to Langhor Campground beyond which point the road would be groomed for snowmobiles and cross-country skiers. The transition from plowed road to groomed trails must ultimately involve a gate across the road at that point. This obviously means no more driving to the trailheads leading to all of the ice climbing in Hyalite. I have put in several inquires via different channels within the local Forest Service offices, and have yet to get an official and/or specific description of the plan for Hyalite Canyon Road. I suspect the powers that be have no idea of the extent of the ice climbing or the amount of usage up in the drainages of Hyalite. There is an initial public comment period that ends November 22nd. There is comment page on the website below: http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/gallatin/projects/travel_planning/ To review the Travel Plan for Hyalite further go to this URL and follow the directions: http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/gallatin/projects/travel_planning/index.shtml Click on "Benchmark doc (complete)"... Go to "Chapter III"... Click on "hyalite.pdf" This week I will be starting a petition in support keeping the road open. The petition will also detail how many days each person drove beyond the reservoir last winter. I think these "user days" are a critical statistic to making a case. So, do your part fill out the comment form on-line, check out the plan, and take note of the timeline indicated on the main website...this is a long process, but it is none to early to start making our voices heard. Forward this e-mail to anyone you know who has/does ice climb in Hyalite...if you received this e-mail as a forwarded message, e-mail climb@barrelmountaineering.com to be added to the list of folks to receive further updates concerning the Travel Plan. Thanks for reading this lengthy e-mail, but I trust the information was worth the effort.

Stoopid things done in youth: saying "I do".

4. live with it.

dude has done many routes in the Tetons, too.

Dragged my kids away from the computer screen and up Mini Pinnacle on Saturday (30' of 5.5 with a 15 minute approach). We all got scared in one way, or another. It was great.

Rumor central is sport-fish-info.com I'm skeptical of Davis bringing a veto despite the political liability of his DFG appointee, Hattoy. More realistic is to contest the closure based on the California state constitution which guarantees access to fishing except for hatcheries. BTW, commissioner Bob Hattoy brought the closure to vote. He was appointed to the Commission on August 27, 2002, to complete the term of the positition vacated by former Commissioner Frank Boren. He's a former Clinton campaign advisor, is HIV positive, and screwed the public within two months.

rumor has it that Davis may veto the closure.

bonehead, sorry to hear you dove in a desert. That hasn't been my experience. I went to camp as a kid at Emerald bay, have fished around Anacapa and Santa Cruz, and spent four years at school in Santa Barbara (about 14 miles from the islands). I always plenty of fish. The last season was great in the SB channel for Calico bass, halibut, salmon, and some tuna. Not much rock cod was caught since there was a ban. Once over this last summer, a commercial seiner wrapped what they estimated to be 100 tons+ of yellowtail outside of San Nicholas before opening the net to let them go (seining yellowtail is illegal. It was such a large school, the spotter plane thought it was tuna). The white seabass population has made a huge rebound in the last years after minimum size and number regulations were imposed by the DFG and obeyed by the fleet and private sportfisherman. I support conservation as most sport fisherman do. I don't support bad-science used to justify permanent closures to historic fishing grounds.

Vancouver island is notorious for its mountain lion population (overpopulation?). I think it was last year that a guy was pulled off his bike by a cougar, but was fortunately saved when the garbage man drove up. The garbage truck wasn't enough to scare the lion, though. The driver got out of the truck and used the guy's bike as a shield and weapon.

keep shredding like the Hawkman, dude.

does Febreze make it fresh again?

neversummer, a screamer limits the force on both the climber and the piece being fallen upon. The limit on the piece is why they're used. BTW, nice snowboards.

Porn pictures get cut, too. It's, like, a bummer.
