    I'm going down there to kill myself in the adventure race? Any other cc.com'ers going to be there? Might be fun to hook up for some of that free beer they're offering? [big Drink]

    Hell, I figure the worst that could happen is that I take the media interest off of climbing rescues for a while.

    I know.. not climbing related, but....

     

    I want to rent a couple of whitewater kayaks in Leavenworth/Wenatchee area in a couple of weeks. Anyone have a suggestion of where they might rent them over there?

     

    Thanks.

    Talk about not taking responsibility for your own actions...

    Doesn't that just make you cringe?

    Next thing you know, someone's gonna sue Fred for that whole "obvious gully" thing.

    I only listened to the show off and on, and I think that info that has been presented to the media by the NPS in the last week is great. Even better than what I would have hoped for.

     

    But when you get the callers on the show, talking about how they needed a helicopter because the guidebook misled them, I think that it gives a bad impression that might eventually effect us all.

     

    That and the fact that everytime there is a rescue in the news it's the same old blame game and the "who pays for rescue" news stories pop up, make me think that it's just a matter of time before someone introduces legislation or even just serious rescue fees.

     

    On the other hand, I think that the latest news report on King5.com that had the interview with Mike G. was one of the most fair and impressive things I've seen in the press on the issue.

    Ok.. I'll call you on this one.

     

    I care, and i think anyone concerned about future access should too.

    When it comes down to trying to get rid off the Fee "Demo" program or other bureaucratic costs, this is just ammo for non-users and politicians.

    This to me seems like the owners are not that cool. They were inconsiderate enough to bring a mean dog along, and you get to pay for it.

    For myself (and many others that I have talked to), if someone were to physically strike or injure my dog it would be similar to some adult deciding to slap one of my kids in the face. Neither action would have a pleasant ending.

    Ummm... If your dog is threatening to people, it doesn't belong around people no matter how much you feel like he's your kid.

     

    If your kid is of age to make me feel truly threatened, he better expect that same Vibram stamp. And yes that would be the owner's/parent's fault.

    P.S. Yes, I love my dog... but we play at home, not at the crag.

    needless to say.... the band of adventurous souls that risked life and limb for this illusive quest, unfortunately lost the scent of the road, and the great Mountain remained unconquered.
