Pindude Thats a good idea on the reflective tape on the wand. For what its worth I have had mixed results with a GPS. TTT

The best wands to use are those DARK green bamboo stakes you can get at any home/garden store, and then use colored (not silver) duct tape for the flags. Part of really needing to use wands are when you're in a whiteout, its not just seeing the flag that helps but also the wand itself. The surveyors markers are metal (I think) and dont have a dark color to provide a visable wand, and as for the flags the floro nylon will absorb light not block it. Plus, if your into picking up your wand they could be unwieldly, and agree that the wind issue and the narrow shaft could make them fall over. Could be good for trail marking a turn, but not glacier/snow field, IMHO. TTT

Hey Skatebird, You sure know how to start threads that take off on their own.

Where are the moderators anyway? Are we allowing April Fools' Thread to continue unhindered? What's this world coming to? The mods are here, but since this is a good april fools joke this one stays for now, even though a few days ago I did consider moving it to spray.

The radioactive fallout from Chernobyl nearly crushed the Lappland culture (region/population in Northern Sweden) source of food and income. The radiation settled into the lichen the reindeer eat and then contaminated the meat, and most had to be destroyed. The lichen live for a very long time and is still radioactive, and probably still contaminating the reindeer.

I was on Si and heard the chopper too. Heard it was where the trail crosses the gulley, not much more than that.....hope more updates later. BTW saw a great avi on Cowboy mountain today, pretty close, man those slushies want to come down.. TTT

The solution is to meet your girlfriend while climbing. Cuts out a lot of that pre climb fighting and post climb silence. TTT

Tom Robbins RULES I am currently reading the fountainhead- Ayn Rand Wow fountainhead would be a good read, along with atlas shrugged. I am reading "Kiss or Kill", actually rereading it. TTT

for Bush!

yeah this is the part that scares me...someone w/no international experience making these decisions The part that scares me is it isn't REALLY GWB who is making the decisions, rather he almost reports them after they happen.

I may be Joe_Retard with a dog , and thanks for the fun with the slow guy. I am slow and time for bed. TTT
