[REI Sucks]

I used to like going to the old REI store in Seattle to buy Kendall Mint Cake. I bought a pair of wooden xc skiis there called Bla-skia... they rocked. Whatever happened to those?

[Flagging]

Wow! I'm new to this board ...and I just read this whole thread. You people are incredible. You're all over the map on these issues. Guess I'll weigh in with my vote. Leave only footprints. Flagging tape is not footprints.

 

As for TP, practice the ancient zen art of wad fluffing. Wipe, invert your wad, and allow gravity to deconstruct your wad into a state of fluffiness. Carefully pile your fluffed wad, with the soiled part on top (it's tricky) on some bare ground or rock. Torch it.

 

Remind me to share a story about dumping toilet vaults in Boston Basin some time ...especially the part about why my partner shaved off his mustache. Yuk!

[Power Places]

Summit of Hidden Lakes Peak ...distribute my ashes from there.

[Ferry County Crags]

Anyone know anything about rock in Ferry County? Especially crags along the Kettle River W of Curlew ...and crags along the San Poil River S of Republic?
