I had to take down the search I was working on with the dev I had. Too many bugs and I was not happy how things were going with him. He kept delivering something other than what I was asking and making pretty bad UI. There were also complications with our board given how old it is, and he was not willing to deviate from vanilla install. At this point you can use Google or the general site search. Sorry. I'm super busy right now and I just don't have time to work on this right now. I'm going to keep the lights on of course, but I just don't have time to improve the site. If you have coding skills then DM me.

well i'm feeling better...who wants to do another pubclub? Kinda went off the rails with the 3rd Wednesday after my collarbone break. Seattle area, venue open. Who is in?

Nice! Now share the deets on the trespass adventure.

Well as I said there are huge limits as to where you can bring a dog,. It varies park to park but here are a few examples: in the ONP: in the NCNP: personally I’m not complaining about it. I just look at it as differing land use rules with different goals in mind for each agency that manages the land. I can take Kiba into the national forest and wilderness areas. There are TONS public lands he can be on, so we just go there instead.

Quite contrary to every single TR I posted last year...in fact I didn't really go into the park system at all as I wanted to be with my dog and he isn't allowed in there with minor exceptions.

I'm not sure I follow your logic there, but as far as "affordability" I would love to see the Park system maintenance be paid out of the general funds and be free to enter for all. As for what that video shows, I think unless we start building roads into the center of the NCNP and put a big parking lots near to the most "Insta" worthy vistas that NCNP will never "share its full load". I'm ok with that never happening, I understand you may see it differently. And seems like the biggest cost in those "Insta worthy" places is preventing overuse/destruction. Perhaps you can show articles/websites/documents that show otherwise, but besides providing an "escape valve" the key purpose of the park system was more to preserve and protect wild places for all people....including future citizens. In this day and age that seems pretty dang difficult given the garbage heaps modern masses seem to leave behind, and the general lack of respect demonstrated time after time these day. But that is the mission...its for all people. I just picked this link randomly (maybe this is a well know "lib" org that you would despise, I have no idea. Feel free to share your own links describing the goals of the creation of the Park System if these seem bent in a particular direction.): https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Navigation/Community/Arcadia-and-THP-Blog/July-2016/Why-Was-the-National-Park-Service-Created or from the Park itself: https://www.nps.gov/articles/npshistory-origins.htm#:~:text=It stemmed from the desire,national park has expanded significantly. I would bet you have less a problem with the Park system its self, but more of a problem with the people running it (I'm sure you'll tell me I'm wrong if I am). If that is true then I think that is a poor reason to get rid of the system without demonstrating that another system is truly better and is immune to the same problems. The State and the USFS were created with different missions than the Park system. Seems like if that mission has strayed its worth just fixing it, unless you think the Park system should haven never been created.. I think in general the creation of the Park System was one of the best things this country ever did, and I'm sure grateful for the ability to put on a backpack occasionally and escape the rat race.

The problems of the NCNP are nothing compared to a number of places. Can you hear those people in Port Townsend and Vashon humming along?

Awesome pics. Thank you for sharing!

Actually believe it or not this is one of the solutions (or part of it).

Spam is way down since I have to approve every registration! But seriously if you’re a human who wants to use the board I haven’t looked yet. I get to it!

There is a chance I over did it with the ban hammer. If you are a real human and want to use the site let me know via the contact feature at the bottom of the site. Tell some basic info that proves you are not a spammer and what the user ID you registered with.

They just keep coming...so until I figure out an effective method registrations will be manually approved. Unfortunately the hCaptcha isn't working right.

thank you @JasonG you did a TON this morning!

Checked in with the forum community and many other communities had the same spam attack this morning.

On the plus side....registrations are UP!!! But they were all spammers...holy crap.

Registration is admin approved for now until there is a solution. FUCK OFF AND DIE SPAMMERS

Sorry gotta cancel on tomorrow. I have too much going on this week to go with no sleep due to nerve stuff related to recovery from breaking my clavicle. maybe next week?

May 17th. Seattle area location to be named.

Let me know if you want to join the team im doing it with

As one motivation to get back on my bike, but also to support a local and amazing cause, I'm riding in the Fred Hutch Obliteride this August doing the 100 mile ride. Consider supporting my ride if you can and want to: I want to share some good news with you. At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, more than 5,700 clinicians, researchers, and staff are working together to improve cancer prevention, detection, and treatment that improves and saves lives. Thanks to research like this, there are already cures for some cancers — but Fred Hutch will continue this work until there are treatments and cures for EVERYONE who needs them. That’s where you come in! Please take action by donating to my Fred Hutch Obliteride fundraiser right now. Every dollar you give will go right to work at Fred Hutch. Click here to donate now. https://bndfr.com/2Q2mm Click here to go to my personal page: https://bndfr.com/2Q2mn Fred Hutch helped my neighbor and a close friend become cancer survivors, it is amazing how far some treatments have come. But there is still a lot to be done. Thank you. /porter

I know a number of you are having trouble with this, and I'm here to help. 1. Login using your user name is no longer supported. The forum maker is removing this and the reasoning is because its published all over the forum so then the "bad guys" just need to guess your password. So you have to logon with you email you used to register. 2. Which brings me to the biggest problem: many of you no longer use the email you used to register with. Switched from hotmail to gmail for example. So if this is you, I can help. Reach out to me via the contact form at the bottom of the page.

easiest way to get one right now is come get one from me in West Seattle. otherwise come to the next pubclub, or if up North @JasonG should have a few right now. sorry, as mentioned elsewhere I'm out of commission with a broken clavicle and ribs...so I'm not doing much for a little bit.

That was all on Wordpress. Jon make have a backup of all that, but I had to nuke it as it was super compromised by hackers.

Just a cool vid, watch on the biggest screen you can:
