Time to celebrate and get a gun rack, some dice, and organ pipes fer yer hooptie.

They're last year's touring ski. Someone with more techincal knowledge can prolly tell you whether they're one of the alpine skis with a different top sheet. Not sure myself? Can't wait to ride 'em once I get some bindings mounted. From what I've read and heard it's a great freshiez and slushiez ski that also performs well on the hard stuff. We'll just have to see about that.

yes... ...but my plants are happier now

Niice! Were there many skeeters down low? I hates skeeters but the bastids don't hates me.

a fux up on my part...site won't allow me to cut and paste... it's an interesting story...the state of OR is auctioning for the IRS a former brothel in Reno, NV. Apparently OR has quite the reputation for selling stuff on ebay, such all the box cutters and toe nail clippers confiscated at pdx airport...the story's at KGW news' web site

They just arrived in the mail. Yeeemotherbleepinghaaaa!

Ol' Orrin uses a rubber when he finger fux + he be in some doo right about now.

Fortunately that's not my pooch. Mine picks her teeth with spiny fuxor's quills.

The Hotlum-Wintun glacier is a fine route imho. Far fewer folks than most other Shasta 'ski' routes. A few years ago there was a note at the trailhead that read, "If anyone finds a lone tele boot attached to a binding and ski please call so and so at such and such number." WTF we thought and then proceeded to have a good laugh imagining the possible scenarios. Turns out it was a Bay Area number. I relayed the tale to a buddy in SF who then read a post on The Well about someone who, on the same route, had indeed FOUND a lone tele boot attached to binding and ski. Turns out someone replied to the post saying that they had lost their boot still attached to binding and ski. Don't remember the specifics but the gist was that said skier's boot was kind of loose on the climb due to comfort issues. Half way up the skier took a fall, off came the loose boot and down went 1/2 of their decent rig for a long ass ride. They gave up trying to find their gear and had to walk out with a tele boot on one foot and a teva on the other. I'm not making this shit up!

Thanks for the replies y'all. Never made it to Picture Lake as the body of water idea was scrapped. Found what we were looking for near Cle Elum. Was the first shot posted a view from W. Seattle btw?

I love my country. This is just priceless. Enjoy: First, watch this: http://homepage.mac.com/howheels/rubpics/woowoo.wmv Then go here: http://lisupras.com/wooo.html Did you think you were losing your mind? With kind regards / Cordialement / Mit freundlichem Gruss

Prolly runneled like a mofo by now...

Ha, just goes to show what a GED can do for your vocabulary. Much prefer the 2nd pic: nature minus the ass crack. I will buy beers if I stop in Seattle. np. Prolly won't tho. Will be in Mazama/Twisp/Winthrop and then Pt. Angeles or the like.

Actually I was imagining something bucolic. I should have said that in my original post. I'm looking for a view of mountains, not just Rainier, with some body of water-preferably a lake or river-in the foreground. I'm going to be driving up the Methow, across Washington Pass, down along the west side and then to the Olympics in search of a location. Thanks again for any help.

u dog

I'm searching for a location on the west side of Rainier and/or the N. Cascades that provides a view of the mountain with a body of water-either lake or river- in the foreground. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

What a trip. Thanks for the report. Cheers!
