Fairweather

This particular world (Io) looks suspiciously like the sore that developed on your lip just a few short days after Thanksgiving.

Crybaby Hillary pulls it out. Proof that Democrat voters react emotionally and not intellectually.

Tvashtar continues to spew its gas into the universe. As usual, it has nothing constructive to offer - and intelligent life there has been completely ruled out.

I always though that "Duke's Travels" would be a great tune to sync up with a ski video.

...and all this time I thought it was 1/2mv squared... I hope anybody that wants an equation as a tattoo pulls out a decent mathematics text book to double check their work. It's a lot easier to tattoo paper if you use a pencil and eraser as the tattoo marking tool. How about this one:

That ain't Thompson's daughter...

That's got nothin to do with kinetic/water falling out of a 2 liter, er, litre bottle..

...and all this time I thought it was 1/2mv squared...

How many left to beat Muir on Saturday?

Wow! Its amazing how fast the Hogsback is reforming and things are filling back in. It was pretty decimated this past summer and I thought the "old chute" would be the new route for years to come. Thanks for the pic.

And with state taxpayers footing the bill, one might come to the conclusion that Seattleites seem...ungrateful.

Isn't this video similar to how snowboarders exit chairlifts at Mt Baker?

Good post - for once. I would point out that TR was a "trust-buster" only - only because he feared a progressive/populist uprising. Regardless of his motivations, his successor - William Taft - tore down far, far more monopolies than Teddy. Crux - what do you think the ramifications of a Bloomberg entry into the race as an independent would be?

There are some neat melt ponds and flat camping areas (both on and off snow) about halfway between Blue Glacier and the top of Snow Dome. I'll see if I have any pics. You can also camp across Snow Dome near the UW research hut at Panic Peak last I heard. Sorry, but I don't know about the horseback thing.

Here's a link to a trip that sailed out of Port Townsend and climbed Fairweather - although their route description is vague. Supposedly there is a route up Sea Otter Creek/Glacier that climbs the west ridge from the Pacific, but it may be Carpe Ridge they're talking about. I've wanted to do this climb for a long time, but I'll likely take the "cheater's" route up the Northwest Basin from an air landing at 8000 feet if I ever go. Don't forget that the Fairweather Fault is about 20 years overdue for the big earthquake that rocks this region every 30 years or so. I would not want to be crossing Desolation Valley or anywhere near Lituya Bay when that happens. http://www.angelfire.com/or/petermarsh/mountfair.htm edit: My understanding is that GBNP modified their earlier strict rules and began allowing aircraft landings on Fairweather Glacier near the base of the Carpe years ago. If you're starting from the sea for personal reasons that is very cool. But you can bypass quite a bit of nastiness if you prefer.

Edwards is the "do as I say and not as I do" candidate. Perfect match for Tvashy.

WTF? I hope you're not trying to say Obama is a muslim. He certainly is not.

Look at Tvashy...actin' all humble n'shit. About a complete fantasy, no less. What a dick.

Of the three main Democrat nominees, he has the most honor. The only folks I've hear spewing the "ain't black enough" line are the Sharpton/Jackson/Wrangel types.

Sounds like you are the Kook/whack-job. You really would vote for Guiliani? He is President of 911.....thats all. He is one sick twisted mutha f*cker. Why?

Gotta admit I like listening to Obama speak. Too bad it all falls apart when I actually hear what he's saying.

No denyin' that.

True then. True today. Good find, Justin.
