those cabins are worth more than just the materials. they have a lot of history behind them, way back when the USFS gave out land to get people into the wilderness. thanks for the update.

Looks like LEUTHOLD'S in PRIME shape!

"people who like assault weapons they should join the United States Army, we have them." CNN's Crossfire, 06/25/03

I'll take that one to Stockholm in December!

you could say that about anyone who goes craggin'. maybe messner should have stayed home!

I'm pretty sure that the brain can rebuild neurons. People recover to some degree from comas, strokes, etc. and a lot of the stem cell research shows that stem cells still stick around in the adult brain even after growth is complete. There, that's my talking-out-of-ass conclusion

so I have a 27 year old brain? must be past warranty

every 7 years your body completes an entire recycle of cells. so tech. I've never seen most of the people at my 10 year reunion

people don't choose to get themselves in trouble

"The environment" or "earth" to us usually refers to the thin film covering the planet. Cells thick if the earth were a bowling ball, to use an old analogy. If this film varies by a ridiculously small amount (in relation to cosmic specs) in temperature, chemistry, pressure, etc. we all die. We definitely have an effect on that "environment". And after all, isn't that the only one that matters? Do you really care about your kids' kids' kids' x 10^10th? Very little chance we will be around that long. In the "meantime", I think we should figure out how to launch pollutants at a velocity to get them deep in the solar system. The hardest part is getting them into orbit. After that it's cake.

Our concept of what's going on in the super-macro is about equiv. to how a paramecium can comprend the high school kid looking at it on a slide. Most religion seems too simplistic and anthropocentric to believe. We keep finding more and more microscopic patterns that have their counterparts in the environment we experience, so it only stands to reason that we're also a bunch of germs to someone out there. You can call that "god" or whatever, but I don't like how we are the center of it all in most, but not all religions.

How dare you

WHOA THERE LASSIE may I direct your attention to the best trip report about nothing ever produced Empty Park TR

haven't seen Tobin live yet, I gotta think it would be cool. I can only imagine the crowd that shows up for that.

I think Ween's Chocolate and Cheese is a superior album to Mollusk but personal pref maybe. Maybe I've just done too many cool things listening to it and so I like it now through association.

Gerardo: Rico Suave

Steely Dan: The Royal Scam Pearl Jam: Ten

U2: The Joshua Tree Lou Reed: Walk on the Wild Side Young MC: Bust a Move

I'd say it's bad, but more for the potential of torque forces on the carabiners. Steel chain is not weak, but no need to throw in "weak links" bwhahaha

I think Einstein had it down: "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind."

Well believe it.
