good info moof and glad we didnt' kill you! you should come check out our new line b4 the park closes - think we're gonna go w/ the uber-gay "it takes a village" moniker as it is most appropos
the anger and causes are irrelevant currently - the problems need to be fixed, and now...not that i'm in a position to do a damn thing about it. in the absence of a solution, i'd very much like my country not to sell weapons to either side though.
if you live in pdx-area though you can avail yourself of the 3 short weeks left to climb at beacon rock before the birdies get it fir humping all winter/spring! sounds like it should be sunny this weekend too!
look out though, i'm planning on kicking off a few giant boulders on saturday
nah, i'd never wanna endanger my own right to off my kid for pissing me off - gotta salute the originality of this particuliar approach - oh well, a few fewer meat puppets in the fucking world...
Bush flights have increased in price a lot in the last couple of years. TAT is charging $560 to Kahiltna Glacier. There is also the $200 climbing fee, the cost of the shuttle to talkeetna ($100)
shit yeah - 5 years ago it was basically half that for all of those!
still, cheaper than climbing in nepal i reckon...
a snow saw's more important than a shovel for building a shelter on the kahiltna imho
don't dig too deep for your cooking snow either, especially at 14 and 17k - try to use fresh windblown stuff - i still recall the thousands of turds/piss-sculptures on the landscape at 17 after a massive windstorm etched the top foot of snow/ice off the ground (that and the trash that was revealed inside the blocks i cut for shelter walls)
there is no simple answer to that question - basically, watch the avi forecast (there's a link to it somewhere on this site) and proceed w/ caution when in the hills - generally though, here in the nw, avi conditions subside pretty quickly
liberals are always soft on the zombie-issue - never fails that it's the dipshit ACLU guy in a zombie flick who can't bring himself to off a zombie, jsut b/c it used to be his ma/wife/kid/whatever - conservatives have wet-dreams for the kill-em-all zombie fuck-fest and usually end up killing humans in their zeal too
