I've been up Taylor before. We call it taylor. The creek flowing north into the Elwha is delabarre creek. We followed the ridge from Martins park over the top, and on to the pass between rustler and godkin. I think this pass is called bretherton pass, but alzhiemers is taking over I fear. The traverse was fun, but really slow, and tended to get cliffy. A second time, we went from martins park along the ridge, then dropped all the way to the rustler creek, and turned left and followed it up to bretherton pass. The rustler is really easy walking, and although you have to drop down a long steep wooded mountain side, it was far faster that climbing over Taylor. We exited out by dropping into the headwaters of the godkin, although our initial goal was to hit Chimney. This is a really remote area of the Olympics. Probably dead center, and you need a long time to be able to do it. You could access it from the pyrites trail off of the quinault east fork. The trail is about useless though, and present in theory only. So yes, people have been to Taylor, and it is a great spot on the OP. Go there.

someone is jealous

someone is going to have to knock crackeders off of his page top throne. any takers?

just got an instant message from annabelle. she digs me! by the way, where is everybody?

I was away for a few days. When I returned, I see the dreaded no dd er thread is still going. If you do not feed it, maybe it will go away.

***mtn mouse is ignoring nodders post***

I have heard differently. The typical backpacking filter will filter out giardia, and microorganisms of a certain size (in microns, 25 I think) but will not filter out dissolved minerals, solids, etc. A filter for example will not filter out salt from sea water. So I would think any mine water with heavy metals in them would always be dangerous to drink.

***you are ignoring this user***

ph of water is 7 bleach is 11 ammonia is 10 so bleach is a stronger base. but better ask catturd.

In Bush's case we should be glad he is on vacation, rather than at work. Hopefully he will be on permanent vacation the next four years.

I take offense to that remark!

[quote Sure do Nodder. That's pretty funny coming from a guy who lives on a sheep ranch. ha ha ha ha ha that is pretty funny. ha ha ha oh, do you know me???

faster than ewe, you sure spend a lot of time playing with yourself.

yah, in moscow idaho. good prices

I'm there too. Only I had to add 'cascade climbers'. Otherwise I'm all mixed up in that hantavirus shit and all.

Here's a friggen marmot

Hey Faster_ Do you have any info on someone completing that run in a day? I tried it once, and got about 65 of the 85 miles until I crapped out. Not burly enough. Between myself and three others we tried that run four times, but never actually made it in one day. Each failure became a great story. It would be interesting to hear if someone did succeed.

You , Dru, are a snafflehound.

We ran from Dosewallips over anderson pass, to graves creek, and on to north fork in one day. You can also go over hayden pass, up to dodger, through the baileys, out high divide, etc. O'Neil expedition did it first in 1890

$85 vs. $160 NPS $50 NW forest pass $30 State parks $50 Oregon state parks $30

Its been done.

ISTJ, a very anal-retentive mouse.

Bush can catch a 62 year old middle aged lady, but what about Osama??

WTF, a 5 star laxative post from Mr. Shitfield???

Nice job Mike, great to see you get recognized. I was wondering if I know any other "tough" guys, and why not include Ted.... 1) Ted bicycles to the northwest territories with two months supplies in garbage bags, including a $20 raft, strapped to his bike. He reaches the Mackenzie river, inflates his raft, stows the garbage bags, and floats the river. The raft deflates mid stream several days later, he swims to shore abandoning the craft. 2) Ted successfully climbs Mt Rainier, only to take a graceful roped swan dive into the bergshrund on the emmons. Only a minor inconvenience! 3) Ted attempts an 86 mile one-day run through the Olympic mountains with two friends. Almost succeeds until his friend has a 'Giardia Attack" at mile 72. 4) While bicycling along a county road admiring a herd of elk, a cop car drives by too fast and strikes an elk. The elk totals the cop car and is thrown, sailing through the air, only to land on Ted as he is bicycling. Waking up in the hospital, he has yet another tough man story to tell! all true stories
