Prof. Larson, I brought back the Methuselah tree thread "So you think Beckey's old?" to thread page one so you can read through it at your leisure if you so desire.

Armageddon!!! {never has that word been so funny} Armageddon!!!

I think you really meant to put these in there: All we would then need is a gerbil graemlin.

I looked at my Topo! software and it appears that access to Garfield will still be possible year-round. Or, more specifically, between Nov. 1 and April 15, it looks like one would have to hike the road about 2.5 extra miles (5.0 miles round-trip) and ~100 feet of extra elevation gain from where they've gated it at Road 5640 (Taylor River Road junction?). This would require an extra two hours round-trip and could be done in the dark if necessary. While I haven't been up the road past Garfield from Nov. 1 to April 15, I have been up it in June. In June it was extremely water-logged (lots of fording). I imagine it would be even worse (deeper) in the winter, so you might have to hike the road to Garfield anyway unless you had one of those huge Broncos. Access to the north side of Garfield via Taylor River road will not be affected, presumably.

And don't forget your pajamas if you intend to climb Sajama.

Ever had the misfortune of smelling the air around a rendering plant? Do that and then maybe you'll never consider eating dog food again.

What's the joke about Castle Super Store? Haven't heard of the store before. Just curious.

Question is: who's endorsing who? Viesturs: "Hey Gates, I'll say I use your product [who doesn't?], if you give me the money I need for my next big expedition." Gates: "Sounds good. Be sure to wear the Microsoft logo on your helmet when you try for K2's summit." V: "Does it matter then? Who's gonna see me? Besides, I don't think I'll wear a helmet for K2." G: "Then be sure to wear the logo on your thermal underwear." V: "But I won't be wearing any underwear. Never do." G: "Damn! Uh, can I get my money back?"

It's called "endorsement". Heck, if I could get endorsed for a climb to get all its requisite expenses paid for, I'd let any place endorse me. I'd even let Microsoft endorse me. So, Ed Viesturs is having his next excursion funded or partially funded by Microsoft? Mr. Viesturs can improve his climbing ability. But Microsoft Windows will always suck. If climbers locked up as much as Windows, there wouldn't be any climbers left. They'd all be in a pile down below on the talus.
