Only problem is, gold was never prevalent at Monte Cristo. Silver was the metal there. So you'd have to be pretty stupid to reopen a Monte Cristo mine to extract gold.

Michelle, you might want to test your upload and download speeds at www.DSLreports.com first. That way you can know where your current connection stands before "upgrading." I just tested my connection. These are my results. (I have a cable internet connection.)

Well, Mister inert but radioactive poisonous gas, you could go here for a start. Don't know how useful the info presented therein will be to you.

"...like any good piece of Federal Law..." Oxymoron? A ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ooo ooo....oh. Sigh. Thanks for the clarification, geordie.

Specifically, this is the bulletin board devoted to California on summitpost. I don't use the bulletin boards over there, so I don't know how much use it will be to you.

I was noticing Trask aint been posting much today then I saw that figure skating was on TV. That explains it. Hey Trask:

Happy 24, Fox!

Taken from my Carlin tape: "Anyone can have bad breath, Martha, but yours could knock a buzzard off a shit wagon."

That's a great TR, Dave.

Trask, yo mamma is so fat. When she sits around the house, she really sits around the house.

What would you do without the hyphen, you hyphen envying pisswater snorkeling rectal spelunking smegma taste-testing sorry excuse for a complex cluster of double helixes?

Goddamn Trask -- get your links straight. My link is not related to Dru's link. It was in response to Ehmmic's comment.

This must be what you're talking about. :barf graemlin: Site claims it is a hoax.

I read somewhere that a giant squid's eyeball can be as large as a basketball and that it is the largest eyeball in the natural world. Yeah, Ehmmic, I do need to get back to work and I do have way too much time on my hands. However, in the above TRASK rolleyes art, I was listening to a new CD. Usually when I'm on the Internet, I seem to tune out music unless I'm doing something totally brainless. What better way to do something brainless than to have the subject be something brainless: :Trask: The art took about 20-30 minutes to complete--probably the most times I've ever "previewed" one post. And Trask:

In the foreground of his picture, Off White has blacked out his meth lab.

More info about Lizard Head, including pictures, can be found here. Unfortunately, the page is devoid of close-up pictures of the mountain and its rock.

"Petite" Ah, maybe that's more appropriate.

Lookee here! A peak named "Augille du Dru."

Brian, thanks for not posting the picture of me with my bare chest ala Michael Layton sans nipple rings. Lance: no, no beer cans seen though plenty of other garbage around. A lot of the logging roads are fairly overgrown now, so that'll keep the riff-raff away. In fact, FR-4005 exiting from MLH at Verlot is gated--apparently by the guy operating the Robe store--because of people dumping garbage. Ryan, there's a humorous anecdote to my falling in that tree well. We had set a turn-around time of 1:30PM. So I'm rounding the last tree. I've got my eyes on this hump of snow right in front of me amongst the trees literally four feet away. It's the "summit." But, this tree I'm stepping past has other ideas and my left leg goes right in up to my hip. Naturally, my snowshoe gets stuck. And you know it's nearly impossible to take the snowshoe off when it's way down there. Meanwhile, Brian is about a minute behind me. It's 1:25PM. I remember thinking, "Great, I knew something was going to happen to keep me from making the summit at the designated turn-around time." Just kind of funny the timing of it. It only took a minute or so to get out but it was a struggle. To die trapped in a tree well: what a horrible way to die. Every year plenty of skiers do. Gee Point: I have not done it. I have done Finney Peak though, so I know the area. Big Gee is the high point in the Gee Point vicinity. It's 5,080+ feet and has 3,120 feet of prominence! It might make for a respectable winter climb.

Dave: just be sure to spell Alpental right in your letter, else they may not take you seriously...if they take you seriously at all.
