no freshiez but got in a full day's worth of skiing at T-line y-day after a day at beacon on Sat. Started the fine ski with a salmon hash breakfast at T-line Summer lives on.

well the dru script is definitely broken because no page top was declared. battle stations admins!

yah but the pic of the cowboys fan on skis is priceless. but I won't mess with Texas

when will you realize that Dru is just a script sitting on this site that auto-responds to every third post? Jon I think we can disable it now, it seems to be working even better than expected.

i can take about an hour on the tower of power, as long as I gets me a golden shower

anyone skiing Miras out there? what do you think about them? I'm thinking of some 188's.

are you suggesting that is actually the north face of Mount Bachelor and Timm@y is photog?

It's also annoying when rappeling a full rope length as the extra weight of the rope makes for a tedious rappel w/ that much friction. I tend to avoid using an autoblock (or anything) here. As for the knot-passing, there must be a lot of cavers on this site running the big drops

quote: Originally posted by Muffy The Wanker Sprayer: YES!!! THANKS TO IAIN as well Well I provided the Bill Nye the science guy experiment. E-rock's geology is much more solid than mine! I'll donate my quota of spray still

So is this your photo? I remembered this experiment so I hit the web to try to find the details...

So what are you suggesting, that climates were extremely different in the Mesozoic? Of course! The Navajo Erg explanation was good enough for me. (I think the Navajo tops out at 700-something meters but I'm rusty on that strata).

You can replicate basalt columnar jointing by drying out a 50/50 cornstarch and water mixture btw, fascinating!

Hehe I know I am just talking out my ass at this late hour and am still slightly enibreated. Believe it or not from that last post, but I do have degrees in geology and biology I just choose not to use them at this juncture.

and now it's off to glisse and ice climb on some crystallized H20 on a chossy dormant stratovolcano, but first breakfast at T-line (salmon hash salmon hash salmon hash!)

I believe columnar basalt cracks in hexagonals mirroring the underlying crystal lattice structure formed from Si MG and O2. Microscopic structure reconstructed at the macro level. Just got back from climbing on some slightly andesitic basalt (beacon baby beacon!)

I like a good snafflefest. Here's my contribution
