It was like I had been let down by a cheap GPS or a leaky thermos . . .

They opened for Modest Mouse in Vancouver. They confused the hell out of all the 14 yr old girls who came to yell "I love you Issac!" during "Float On"

OH Jesus so Mike now has a digital camera. I'm surprised there are no photos of his talking feces. This was certainly one of the more exquisite mung wallow approaches of my life so far. Here is my photo interpretation of the events: The easy approach via the PCT: SUPERHAPPYGOODTIMES Camp: The first view of the immaculate objective: A close-up of the face: The hike out: "I luv you longlong time for ride!"

Enjoy their video show: alternating images of raccons shooting lasers out of their eyes and David Hassellhoff bodysurfing

Yeah thanks a lot for ruining my last, treasured memories of Flopsy

With this forecast I'd be sure to take Gore Tex tops and bottoms and a BIG down jacket. BBrrrrrr!

On my last visit to friends on Pender Island in the BC Gulf Islands I noticed some boulders lurking in the woods right off the road. Went back to investigate this past weekend. Holy shit! A rough estimate would put the collection at about 30 boulders 10-15 feet high, all pretty good quality conglomerate cobbles, little moss or dirt since it is so dry on the Gulf Islands. (Note, I did not have a beanie with me, but with the no-shirt/rolled up jeans I figured I at least had 2/3 of the uniform ) Nice arete deal: After a five minute hike up the hillside we found a cool cave littered with bones. Lines on the face of the cave were too much for us, V6+, but there was a cool traverse along the left hand lip: Large potential for some hard pebble pinching here, if you go out for that sort of thing (which I normally don't ) All in all, not a shitty way to spend a day that was pretty shitty elsewhere

Maybe the Merced will take out Camp Curry and all those other fuckin eyesore tourist ghettos. Maybe it'll dredge up the body of this guy I stayed three weeks in the Valley in 99: 1. First day there Gambalie drowned. That night there was a drunken golf cart race in Camp 4 that got a few people thrown in the John Muir Inn 2. Various unsolved beheadings and murders ongoing 3. Glacier Point Apron collapses 45 minutes after we climbed the very route it obliterated 4. When I got home I read in the paper that someone had been arrested for putting cameras in the MENS Camp Curry showers, which I had used most days during my stay

Got rats?

Jesus. Guess you haven't read The Da Vinci Code.
