pretty much. if you haven't already, check out brouwer's cafe in fremont. they don't have my favorite (floris appel witbier), and they haven't managed to make a real belgian frite (though they've gotten closer than anywhere else i've tried around here) ... they do have a lot of belgian beers. i recommend the duchese de bourgogne ... yum!

more fun than sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen!

or when you stop being a wuss and ask for it.

making ice cream *and* money? hot damn!

not having to carry all of that extra stuff!

excellent.

(sorry to hear about your car and stereo, though! that f'ing sucks!!! )

amen. that said, i prefer to keep my real name and real-world contact info off of this site for many reasons. there are quite a few people on here i've met and know to some degree or another, and when it comes to those people i certainly read more into (and/or get more out of) what they have to say. but when it comes down to people i don't know ... it generally doesn't matter to me whether they are using their real name or an avatar. (the big exception to that would be for posts from people like lowell skoog and don serl ... whose names definitely speak for themselves.)

me, too! wtf?

oh, and sounds like you two had a great trip. well, except for your son dreaming about real-world junk food the whole time. actually, all i could think about on my last trip down from muir was getting a big juicy hamburger!

what's the rules on this anyway? you need a permit just to hike up to muir as a day hike? is the permit for overnighters/climbing? cost? is there a free/self-issued if you are just doing quick trip up and back? thanks no permit required to hike to muir. (climbing permit required to go beyond.) free "Wilderness Camping Permit" required to camp there.

very cool that you got to realize a dream of yours!

the tr

thanks for the tr, ryan! nice to get some more details, your version of the tale, and see some pics!

amusing tr. glad you got your stuff back!

yikes!

yay!

you're right, but some people believe you either succeed or you fail. hopefully you were able to enlighten them to the fact that success can mean something besides reaching the top.

spectacular!!! awesome photos! looking forward to reading more of it when i have the time ...

actually, that's the north ridge of stuart, tomtom. geez. learn some washington geography, won't you?

hi, mle. sent you a pm. i know a couple of guys who just did the complete north ridge and it took them twice as long as they had planned. sounds like it's a pretty long route with some "interesting" route-finding!

STFU.

0:11 for me!
