Not to worry. Your local cooperative is of sound mind.

The smiles say it all. Thanks for the TR guys!

you even got a shout out from @Alisse in the TR 😂

Older and more out of shape??? Don't bring me into this.....

BTW.... I for one would not find that boring at all

So awesome @Alisse I love it!

Wow awesome picture (and TR). Thank you!

Wow!

That’s is quite a TR. thanks for sharing that.

Yeah forum software still doesn’t know what with heics. Get on the ball invision!!

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/rei-hemorrhaged-money-two-years-080000494.html "Artz, CEO since 2019, had already warned that more pain was likely in 2024. “We have borrowed from our savings, but we cannot do that forever,” he wrote in a letter to stakeholders published a week before the meeting. He blamed the company’s wages—which are higher than average for retail—and REI’s decision to continue paying a dividend to members for the steep losses. " Or maybe that is the reason for any success they have had? When they had good employees who provided good service and the fact that you'll get a dividend for full priced items you buy is the whole reason you'd shop there at all? It definitely couldn't be the leadership that steered the company with a unique "coop" business model in an unsustainable direction. No, that couldn't be it.

Awesome Bill, thank you for sharing. Looks like a proper adventure.

Thank you! TBH, I may turn off PDFs as it seems like a vector for viruses to be downloaded by our users. But I really do appreciate your TR and agree with you about the distance up there :).

“The Pole of Remoteness “ is a great name for a geographic feature. What can top that?

Thanks for posting here! What you say in the video is exactly what I’ve been trying to tell people: this site lets you tell the whole story.

This kind of storytelling is why I fight to keep this place going. I would love to read the poem. thank you

Love it! Thank you for sharing!

As per WSDOT yesterday: SR 20 westbound is closed at milepost 158 due to a fire three miles west of the closure point. No detour available. Fire is near the Easy Pass Trailhead, and the closure is just east of Rainy Pass trailhead.

The old trailhead has been gated and the section above it logged, but IMO there is still plenty of great trail there. Would love to see a new section of trail put in that comes up north from the Dosewallips or down south from the Duckabush that avoids all the logging and give access to that trail without having to deal with the timber companies. Mt Jupiter summit is special place, worth all of it for the last 1/4 mile up to the summit. It just that first little bit that has been logged recently and messes up the access.

Nice! Thanks for the TR!

There are some numbers on this site: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/giffordpinchot/recarea/?recid=34143 good luck!

Sweet! Thanks for the TR!

Nice man! Stoked and inspired seeing people getting after it. I'll have to check this one out.
