  2. Arial targets give surveyors the ability to take high-res aerial images and scale them to a known coordinate system on the ground. Coordinates most likely resolved from GPS observations on the monument in the middle of the target. I have done this for the development of a golf course. I've also tied them for forest road project control and state highway control. With the popularity of GIS, you see all kinds of agencies like the DNR and WSDOT using aerial maps all the time. We shouldn't jump to conclusions. However, I believe a developer must post a notice on site and in the local paper if they plan to develop land. The notice should tell you what the planned development or proposed land use is, when and where the public meetings will be so you can discuss it. All of this has to go through the County planning and permitting departments. If you’re really curious, you could probably go to the County and start asking questions. If anything is being planned, they will know about it. The bottom line is that we should have enough notice before it is approved to fight the fight.
  3. oops, sorry... didn't see ya! 3YnM8-gwy28
  4. A different report that doesn't appear to have been updated but gives more detail. I'm sure everyone up there is involved in rescue efforts right now. I hope the number goes down. http://www.k2climb.net/news.php?id=17459
  5. For glacier camps I always go Boots, though the down booties would seem to be a good choice depending on the glacier hazards. I have these Sanuk (Donny) shoes and am thinking they would make a great camp shoe. They're as light as any flip flop out there.

    Zotefoams

    right, so apparently you can ONLY get these at MEC?
  7. Not climbing per say, but reminiscent of a bivy or two: Go without a coat when it's cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it`s all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you're made of and what you're capable of. If you're never tested, You'll never define your character. -Henry Rollins
  8. Light, durable, pack-able, etc. I currently have the Therm A Rest LE 3/4. (700 grams / 4.1 R value). I'm contemplating going closed cell and have been looking at these Zotefoams. Lighter and lower R-value. Thoughts? Anyone using one of these?
  9. Best of wishes to the injured party! I was traversing through that area around then... Can I get the link to these reports? never mind... found them.

  15. Just a couple more weeks at my local off-ramp should supplement your couch money, partner! I need some new cardboard.

    Who is

    Me too. I was driving back with a Fed. Survey crew from a days work in the Mountain Loop Forest when I heard the news. Sad day...
  19. Goat Rocks from White Pass? (probably decimated as well) You'll be in for a hike if you don't want to ski a volcano.
  20. More likely to chase food than to run away. Fear was learned later form God. Trail running and treadmills are lower stress. Keep your shoes fresh, keep a comfortable pace, and stay off the hard pack if possible. I think competitive running puts you into higher level of self abuse.
  21. I'm fucking offended by all this fucking cussing. You fucking fuckers are all fucked up. Fuck it!
  22. not at all... and it would easy to gage wind with some smoke from your new car alarm too.
