left side - i just remember it was short and ho-hum'ish

wooord. no question about it. had dried cantalope before? that shit is wierd - like drinking powdered beer - it's hard to fuck up a perfectly good thing.

been years - it's easy and hardly worth the big-ass drive down there, imo - rainier routes are cooler for big volcano slogs

but 2 guys were working on it last week w/ hand-axes and a rake - at that rate they ought be done somewhere around the time the last blow-down has rotted away

the trail to colchuck aint' bad at all - the trail to the snow lakes on the other hand...

sounds worth it for the payoff of being the only folks on that side of the mountain

"read my lips - no new taxes!" - G. H. Bush

maybe he just figured some LIVING in southern washington would know? at any rate, you're right, fall's the best time to go - go this fall and you might have the chance to booty some gear and get yer face in the paper too

very popular in germany i remember

mt hood's in washington?

mt hood - n side and go up cooper spur or s side and camp at illumination

"fucking sandworms" - beetlejuice

still climbing at 730? damn, they might not have been able to make it down before gustavs closed!

was your climb saturday or sunday? didn't look nearly that clear on the other end of the enchantment plateau yesterday? saturday was blue-bird though (i've the burn to attest to it)

he was probably just trying to avoid putting 200k miles on his new car in it's first year

wait for my brother baron!

you mean II? the sole surviving (indigenous) creature from city alpha 5?

i can't see anything! - i'm beginning to suspect my school filter is doing me wrong...

pic function alwasy seems to be fawked! someone get a shot of the general up here - or do we need a still frame from x-men?

i'm honored to think that i might have been the last passenger i liked how at low speeds the unmuffled chugging of the engine reminded me of going deep-sea fishing w/ my grandpa in his big ass boat

took my wife up the muir snowfield a couple of years ago - the only time she'd been there - some gigantic swarm of those holy-rollers were also making the trek - truly strange - like little house on the prairie takes to a glacier
