Playing with your dolls again baby cracked?

He's still an evil motherfucker.

NBC sucks big time, wish I had cable so I could check out CBC coverage. Cable for me would be a waste, only things worth seeing are the Olympics and the Tour.

Don't forget about Static Point. I will be going up there once it cools down. BreezyD, I will drop you a line when I think it's cool enough. Maybe this weekend.

WHERE IS EXTREMO MOUNTAIN DUDE??????????!!!!!!!

Back in the 50s someined the term "Military Idustrial Complex". Who was it?

Not this week, check the forcast.

Front page story in the Seattle PI http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/187492_crystal23.html

That place shure needs some work. I hope to make it up there and help out.

More pictures plus comentary can be found at http://richard.geckowerx.com/ Forgot to mention this story. I woke up to the sound of thrashing in the bushes, thought it was a bear. Started yelling and pounding the ground. Woke 4 others up. Then we heard barking. WTF? Get out of the tent and stumbled down the trail 50' or so to find 3 guys 2 dogs and a fire. Told the morons if the Forest Service people smelled smoke they would have a fit. They put out the fire and asked us for some bateries. We had plenty so we gave them some.

Big air can be had on W Dravus. Fun to ride up too.

Index is great for those who live/work up north. For those of us who are near downtown I90 is a much better choice.

REPENT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds good to me, IG. Let's do it while we can. For the majority of us some where off of I90 is best. Index dosem't have enough easy climbs.

I heard that Greyhound will no longer stop at Snoqualmie Pass. You can get to the Olymmpics by public bus. Look up these transit agencies: Kitsap County, Jefferson County, and Clalum County. You may need to do a bit of hitching depindig on where you want to go.

The North Bend Pizza place, don't know the hours but the food is great w/ beer on tap

Saw in the paper that they have approval from the Forest Servace to add a gondola and another chair. Construction could start next summer. How much will this raise ticket prices?

Election 2004 end of an error.

If you don't mind lots of rules then they are OK. If you hate rigidity and like doiing things in a more disorganized way then don't join.

Chuck is right.

FW you have some good points. The Middle fork trail will be open to MTBs every other day. Still worth going up there with the added 8 miles. You can bike the road. Will be a great area to escape the crowds. Also the trail may see some horse use once the bridge below Lake Ivenho is fixed. I don't know or care about all the details, it's just good to get out and show that climbers and MTBers are willing to help out event hough it doesn't directly help us. Getting to know people who make decisions is always a good idea. BTW WTA has worked on some of the trails MTBers ride off of SR 410

I just returned from a week long trail work vacation. This is a great area with lots of off trail scrambling and exploring possibilities. Get up there before they close the road. Also a great way to find out what’s going on within the forest Service. Also got detailed stories on a few rescues. With us on the trip was Bill S (wont attempt to spell his last name) a really dedicated and cool guy. I forget what his title is but he knows mattp and looks forward to working with the Washington Climbers Coalition. I learned a lot about what it takes to build and maintain trails. It got really hot at the end of the week. There was a swimming hole next to camp so we could cool down every afternoon. All the folks on this trip were super cool and fun to work with. We stayed at Pedro Camp by the steel bridge. No trip would be complete without a few problems to deal with. The horse packers dropped our food, stove ect 2 miles short of camp. When we got to the drop we stuffed what we could into our packs, we then dumped out our packs at camp and went down for more. There was a 24 hour bug that got 2 people. On our day off 3 of us went up to Chain Lakes. Jenn did it in her sandals ‘cause her boots hurt too much, she was out here from back east and was very impressed with the area. Bill S crossed the river and scrambled up the stuff on the south side. Old mines and cool lakes, he took pictures that make me want to check it out. So get your ass out there and represent the climbing community. More info at wta.org Lunch Break workin' Hard Name This Peak And This One Too. Saw bear almost every day, like the whole animal, not just it's ass.
