But in the middle of a completely mellow, maybe boring, information based thread you unleash with this syphilictic rant against people who haven't even posted in it. Excuse my ignorance, but what in the hell are you talking about? I think it was a tantrum. They tend to not have a particular direction.

quote: Originally posted by max: Can anyone give a resonable explanation of the difference between tectonic and volcanic earthquakes? Does it have to do with the depth of the origin? Just curious... and wasting time! [ 02-20-2002: Message edited by: max ] In a nutshell:Tectonic earthquakes are quakes associated with boundaries between tectonic plates, commonly called faults. Movement along these faults due to variable plate movement produces tectonic earthquakes. Volcanic earthquakes are produced due to changes in the stress of solid rock caused by movement of magma into and out of the magma chamber beneath a volcano or as a result of magma moving into cracks in the surrounding rocks.Volcanic quakes do tend to be shallower.

quote: Originally posted by willstrickland: In the Oregonian today: Man sentenced for calling police officer a "pig". A man was sentenced to spend two hours in a pen-enclosure with a 350lb pig for calling a law enforcement officer a pig. What happened to freedom of speech? I believe this case would easily fit in the definition of defamation.While calling cops in general pigs would be okay, calling one particular cop a pig is considered defamatory.

There are three things that smell like fish...

From the C&S Climbing Index: http://www.cands.net/climbing.html "..all done solo-free on 1 nov.96 , ON the first attempt. It follows the obvious line on the most awesome ridge in this area. 5.9 (mostly 5.7), 25+ pitches, if you were to break the rope out." http://www.cands.net/pscrmcrk.jpg

quote: Originally posted by specialed: I know this isn't a climbing pic but its a pic nonetheless: I personally appreciate the pictures that Tom has put up on his website. Particularly this one: I have never seen another pic that comes this close to conveying the huge amount of granite at the head of the Squire Creek drainage. This one doesn't show it all, but it does a good job anyway.Keep it up Tom. [ 02-18-2002: Message edited by: ScottP ] [ 02-18-2002: Message edited by: ScottP ]

A friend of mine felt he owed me for some favors, so he gave me 10 pairs of shoes that he got from a rep friend of his. I say "appears to be..." because some of them have tags that say "Sample-Not for Resale" 5 of them fit, 5 are too small. There's a pair of the Quests and a pair of the Bio-flex. The other 3; I don't know the model.

quote: Originally posted by Terminal Gravity: Five Pair ?? Can I make a size 12 out of 1 1/2 pair? I guess that would depend on your cutting and pasting skills...

quote: Originally posted by Dru: Lemme guess... you visited a Japanese restaurant last night and picked up some extras on your way out the door... Yeah, that's it...a Japanese restaurant. That's the ticket.

I've got five pairs of Tecnica approach shoes I want to part with. They appear to be 2001 demo models and are almost brand new. Mens size 9. No reasonable offer refused.

quote: Originally posted by Teogo: Hey Scott, I was near the base of the wall when that chunk-o-rock went through your ledge---a couple of friends had just finished traversing a pitch 200 hundred feet below when the entire area was sprayed with rock fall. After the thing roared through the forest like a freight train I looked up to see a huge swath of daylight peaking through the middle of your ledge. I don't suppose you saw the brown stain in Susan's undies too? She says that for some reason, she was sitting opposite of the way she had slept on the ledge. If she had been oriented in the same direction, she believes the flake would have cut her in two.

quote: Originally posted by Dru: The Valley is only good in the spring thru fall. Surprisingly, that's also the best time for Coast Mtns alpine climbing I never been to the Valley yet. No ripoffs, no bears in da car, no crowded lines, no rangers wit attitude, no overpriced deli, no poser scene, no shit bags flying down and smacking you onna head. Man I guess I have to hit the Ditch sometime I seem to be missing out on a LOT! Nothing you can't avoid, and if you haven't been there, you don't know what you're missing.There is some killer shit to do there. The left side of the Apron for example. I bet you'd have the place to yourself.

Six days into a trip into the Southern Picketts, I was awakened one night by something tugging at my hair. I have no idea what it was, but it must have liked what it tasted because it kept coming back.

If you don't leave a car at the trailhead, there is no way for them to collect the fee. Add an extra half hour or so to your walking time. It is my understanding that if you park a quarter mile or more from the trailhead, the pass isn't required.
