lol didn't listen as i've had my computer on mute all day. also don't know how i'd feel about climbing up out there and then getting one of these buzzing me.

not mine, just found on the interweb [video:youtube]rj2Jx7AuKnU

what about a 1/2 lb bag of Pot Lemon Bars?

Worst as far as I've seen: http://www.westseattleherald.com/2014/09/05/news/west-seattle-couple-burglarized-while-out-climbin

awesome feedback diepj. thank you.

Thanks, Porter! I did read somewhere that you have to take a side trail near an old mine to find the old crash site. And I really appreciate the extra nugget about the waterfall. I hadn't read that anywhere. The kids will love it. Need headlamps to get there safely? Is it safe for kids (10 and 12 years old) to hike back in there? How far back in the mine is it? Its been awhile, but I've done it a couple of times. Definitely want headlamps. As far as being "safe" its an old mine, so I can't guarantee anything. I want to say it goes back at least 100 yards? You'll know when you reach the back because people put their business cards all over the place. I would definitely dare Ulee to go back there. There was these old sheets of metal I held over my head when running through the waterfall. Also visited the old plane wreck a couple times. There are just a few scraps up there. but cool nonetheless. http://exotichikes.com/tubal-cain-and-tull-canyon-trail/

Awesome TR Luke, thanks! Great pictures...gotta love the Mark III, I have abused the hell out of mine and it is still cranking. I haven't frozen it yet though!

I think the plane crash you're talking to is off a little spur trail right before Tubal Cain mine. Its an old WWII crash I think. The fun part is going to the back of the Tubal Cain mine. There is a waterfall you can run through back in the mine....pretty fun.

Burn area looks huge.

How much of the burn areas include the swaths of beetle-dead trees you see up there? I seem to recall a lot of dead trees on the eastern side after you get past the pass. Probably not much, eh?

LOL just noticed the kid in the background with a Mariners shirt. Have you ever noticed that every B movie that features professional baseball...that is it ALWAYS the Mariners?

Exactly what I was trying to say. +1

Well as much as you're excited about your discovery, if it is truly amazing then it will stand out on its own merits. You don't need to have some dramatic "unveiling". Just post it up here...if it is that cool then people will come looking for you to talk about it. Or you could continue to bait and drag the line.

nice!

BTW, I think you should contact John Curley. He isn't dead, btw. He is a Northwest celebrity that could really help unveil your discovery with local flair.

I'm hardcore. Please PM me the coordinates. Can you at least post one picture? You can make it blurry so as to not give away any important information. I'm excited for this discovery!

Nice, thanks for posting. These reports are great because they can help people know what the current conditions are...not to mention just general stoke. Hope your elbow heals up soon.

I suppose, If you identify with the "climber". But what the rescue folks pull off? Pretty cool in my book.

same thought I had.

This is why we need to support these guys: [video:vimeo]99771689 Not a "climber", but you can see what they can do. Save your ass in a bad situation, for example.

congrats Mike!

The irony is if there is two in the Pink (who posted the pic), then where is that anatomically? The brown one is obviously in Pink's Stink.
