Porter, would you be my, won't you be my, would you be... my neighbor?

I'm not the one being a whiny little bitch no, you are not, your mom is though. "I know you are, but what am I?" You gotta get some new material. your mom your mom your mom oh yeah your mom don't know what is worse - the sheer repetition of the same hackneyed retort or the fact that this is what you'd expect to hear from a 7th grader, not a (supposedly) grown man

+1 would love to know if the W ridge or the SE butt is snow free. The SE butt has a gully to cross at the top that could be nasty with snow

For the fathers...

I have rapped/downclimbed the SE Butt (8/2011). We never had to build a rap station from scratch. You may want to add a sling here or there (and please pack out some tat if you cut it off).

We should charge $30 a year to park around Greenlake. The park could pay for itself and just think how the $ from the City could be spent elsewhere on great programs! Shit, all kiddie playgrounds should be pay-per-use! Fucking freeloading rug rats! Do they think care and upkeep of the swing sets is free? Whiners!

Basically what this says is you want to keep the riff-raff or poor people out of state parks. $30 user fee, no big deal huh. Pick two folks, Sucka makes $15000/ year and Joe makes $300000 per year. Lets see 30 divided by 15000 or 300000. .2% vs .01%. Shit .2% is nothing you've still got 99.8 percent left to blow. No big deal huh? Wait a minute -Income Tax, -Food, -Housing, -Health Care, - Sales Tax, - Public Utilities... Hmm, I think Sucka realizes why he received his given name. I worked hard to earn this There is another angle to this, Feck. If the state charges a fee to use a park, then that makes it seem a lot like a private company charging a fee... and the difference is lost. This could allow for it to be easier for parks to be privatized as the public will see little difference in a fee-based access to something they want. By keeping parks "free"* this scenario will be less likely to occur. Also, consider the problems we have in this country related to obesity. The state should do all it can to make recreation as available and cheap as possible. Closing the doors to parks, and charging fees that the poor can't afford or which at least are unwilling to pay for (and there is a coorelation between poor and obesity), well, this is harmful and stupid. *yes, they cost money, duh, but funding parks through taxes in place makes it seem free, and is at least not usage-based and obvious that you pay for it...

I call BS. If WA state raised sales tax by enough to cover the deficit in funding for WSPs, guess what would happen within a year? Suddenly, again, there would not be enough funds for the WSPs. It's about setting priorities for funding and be responsibile with budgets. THAT is what pisses off a lot of us, not the $30 itself.

Yes, it does. Many do, including me Cutting state park funding and instituting the Discover Pass is just a scam - they do it because they can. I pay sales tax, and I expect that it goes toward funding parks. I don't want taxes and fees scattered all over the place.

You go overseas and a few scant weeks later this is hot? Sobo, she's OK, but buddy, it's gonna be a looooonnnngggggg tour. LLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Hot or not... she knows how to handle a gun

Who fed that octopus bath salts?

it's no surprise you liked that... NTTAWWT

Is that the nickname you give to the one "cougar" you bagged?

if you go hunting, what else the hell would you take as a pic to commemorate the trip? standing around for hours? drinking beer? no, the kill shot, duh.

Rabbit slow cooked in garlic. Mmmmmm. Venison can be quite yummy as well.

Yes. We abandoned our primary plan and did a carryover with full packs over Colchuck. I think you were the smarter man this w/e.

Hmmm, I think we may have run into you three on the way out. Unless there were more than 2 cute ladies with foreign accents lounging at the lake (why do I climb and not backpack???)

Picture taken at about 2pm on Sunday - what a difference a day makes in weather, eh?

Enjoy at your own risk

Walmart. Pup tent. It's functionally equivalent.

Continuous snow from Colchuck Lake to Colchuck col. The trail around the lake has lingering snow, and a good deal of the trail portion (climber's left) of Aasgard is under snow. From the summit of Colchuck Peak, the Upper Enchantments look to be 90+% under snow.

Yeah, you guys arrived at the worst possible time to set up camp. I don't blame you for sleeping in. A party of two came up in the morning while we headed out. They went up the NE Couloir. Did you see them?
