Sweet.

How about this one: If it tastes good, spit it out.

Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

And even if the log goes away, there will be another log.

I don't think you would find 15-minute quads at Metskers. From the USGS web site: "The 15-minute map series at a scale of 1:62,500 (1 inch = approximately 1 mile) has been abandoned. The USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map series is the official replacement for the 1:62,500-scales series." My understanding is that the Mt. Challenger 15 minute quad is no longer produced by the USGS.

Just curious... When it went out of print I found several copies in stock at Cascade Sports in Mt. Vernon and snatched them up. I was looking through my topo collection the other day and stumbled across them. It's a classic 15-minute topo that depicts the wild heart of North Cascades National Park. Geologist Roland Tabor even published a guidebook called Routes and Rocks in the Mt. Challenger Quadrangle ...also a classic and also out of print.

What would you pay for a mint copy (never folded)of the 15-minute Mt. Challenger USGS Topo?

Zpf!

Excellence in N Cascade Alpinism!

$50k/year?! Wow... Do you have data on how many missions occurred per year when the program was running? And I can appreciate your loyalty to your pilot, but I can attest from personal experience that Tony Reece (Hi Line Helicopters, Darrington, WA) is no slouch. Read Bio

Anthony Reece received the Citizen's Award for Bravery and Kevork Arackellian received the NPS Award for Valor.

Department of Interior Convocation Anthony Reece and Kevorck Arackellian (National Park Service) conducted one of the most challenging rescues in the history of the North Cascades National Park Search and Rescue program. In July 2009, a party of four mountaineers were halfway up Mount Terror’s North Buttress route when the lead climber fell and was left dangling upside down on the rope, semi-conscious with a femur fracture and head injury. During the rescue, Park Ranger Kevork Arackellian hung from a helicopter on a 100 foot short-haul line as Pilot Anthony Reece transported to the accident site. Ranger Arackellian rescued one climber before poor weather moved in and prevented the evacuation of the second stranded climber. After that climber had endured four days of rain and snow, trapped on Mount Terror’s cliff, Pilot Anthony Reece and Ranger Kevork Arackellian returned and performed the same risky maneuver. Given the technical site of this rescue, a cliff with sheer rock walls above and below, there was no margin for error by either pilot or rescuer on this mission.

Track sounds good Cynic. Reminds me a little bit of Adrian Belew...

I don't think you want to debate the .000001% that are hard-core Ron Paul supporters. They're small in number (inconsequential really...), but rabid in their devotion. There's no point in engaging them. They are not a factor.

My peeps! You need youse minds streetched!! [video:youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At6-JmIS2nY

IT'S STILL HERE!!!

I can remember the chords, the lyrics, and the timing of one or two foot pedal buttons, but that's my limit!

Adidas Samba K's are very good for precision pedalboard button pushing on stage.

Nice Gibson. Good for this, among other things... [video:youtube]

Doubt it. Their tastes more likely run toward inoffensive Nashville big hair pop. Republicans are so uptight, awkward, and... uncool.

With Bachmann out of the race, I think we all need to get behind a Trump candidacy. Seriously though, Bachmann was the perfect Republican: earnest, intellectually handicapped, naive mistrust in the legitimacy of science, attributes responsibility for outcomes to a mythological deity, retarded vision... the corporate shills would have used her. My guess is the gender thing was held against her.

For those interested in contributing directly to Ranger Anderson's surviving husband and two young daughters, here is a link to information about how to do so.

Alright...since you specified electric guitar, and since tastes seem to run heavily in favor of shred style playing on this forum, I'll give you this: [video:youtube]
