I also read that book, steered to it by catbirdseat. I love the old fire lookouts. Haven't been on 3 Fingers, hope to someday, but I did reach the Desolation lookout where Kerouac spent the summer and later wrote about it in Dharma Bums.

more info

somehow I thought Matt was the most common name on this site. Didn't three of them get married last year?

Who has the stronger powers...Jeanie or Samantha of Bewitched? I personally think it's Samantha. Once jeanie gets corked in her bottle, it's all over.

still waiting for snoboy to fix the chat thingie for me.

Maybe we should add the "Betty vs. Veronica" debate.

I'm missing the rain as well. A nice downpour would certainly cool things off.

we have determined that it's a mediterranean tortoise, approx. 10 years old (they live up to 70!) and prob abandoned by our former neighbors and their 5 kids.

he's ba-ack

not as rioutously funny as your last TR but a well written tome nonetheless.

either that or he's hiding. Drat! and I wanted to domesticate him too.

he ran away

haven't touched it yet...could be a snapper turtle for all I know.

kids are gone for the week but I'd like to keep it til they get back. My neighbor says they eat meat. I think he's a wild turtle from the creek.

what should I do with it?

my personal life is fluxing right now as well resulting in not much climbing for me either.

when I slogged up Hood in late May (starting from the parking lot) I bumped into a friend of mine just below the hogs back who had taken the cat up to the top of plamer...to save time I guess. Still ended up summitting ahead of him as he had to double back and fetch his crampon.

I *love* Diana Krall! Heard she's engaged to Elvis Costello.

I'd be happy to help out as well.

I think you are correct good sir. The info is also on the BR web site. You gonna climb it? "Call the park at (509) 427-8265 for more information" No exact date was given...only "mid-July".

Nice job Muffy! Very inspiring.
