  1. Yeah forum software still doesn’t know what with heics. Get on the ball invision!!
  2. 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.
  3. Awesome Bill, thank you for sharing. Looks like a proper adventure.
  4. 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 :).
  5. “The Pole of Remoteness “ is a great name for a geographic feature. What can top that?
  6. 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.
  7. This kind of storytelling is why I fight to keep this place going. I would love to read the poem. thank you
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. There are some numbers on this site: https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/giffordpinchot/recarea/?recid=34143 good luck!
  11. Nice man! Stoked and inspired seeing people getting after it. I'll have to check this one out.
  12. Another fine adventure! Thank you for sharing with us!
  13. It seems like these deals never end well for the users that built the site’s content and made it relevant. Too much money paid for something that private equity demands a return on. It either makes them money or they turn it off or sell it to the highest bidder who may be unscrupulous. Time will tell, best wishes to those that invested their time and energy that site freely.
  14. Ha I totally missed OnX buying MP. years ago even. https://www.onxmaps.com/blog/onx-secures-series-b-funding
  15. There are these clues:
  16. I hope they at least shared some malt liquor spicy drink!
  17. I just added some more people who have donated to our super secret Supporters forum. Aaron, I don't know who you are on here, DM me! Thank you all!
