Couloir

Here is Andalkar's site. There are no recent trip reports, but this does give some good insight on what you might expect on JPG. Actually, here is a TR from TAY. Looks like they were up there very recently.

Sociopath teenagers and twenty-somethings that hold their cell phone to their ear and never...say...a...word. There's no way a voicemail could last that long. So, I'm convinced they are so attached to their phones that they can't handle not having them against their ear...whether there is someone on the other end or not. Same with the Bluetooth nuts.

I'm in! Well, at least for 2 legs, maybe 4.

I just want to know what the hell they're saying!

I knew I'd get accused of that. But someone sent that to me and I couldn't pass up posting it here. There seems to definitely be a 'crowd' for this sort of thing. It's a very specifc genre.

OJ after brushing your teeth ain't much fun either.

Don't leave Portland. They're going to spend $2 billion in the next few years on light rail so there won't be any cars on the roads to create traffic. You're good!

Similar price point on the new screws?

Brand? Size?

Yeah, good point Kurt. I saw them all on sale, I should have mentioned that. Surprisingly the Quarks weren't marked on the rack, I only saw them online. I grabbed a hammer and there were a hammer and an adze left. Plus the tools you mentioned. Perhaps they're getting out of the hardware business, but it seems they do sell-through what limited stuff they carry...at least here in Portland. I'm waiting for the screws to be marked down.

Thanks Rocky for the post...and the good news. Welcome. And thanks to everyone who wrote and took time from their schedule to attend the hearings in Salem.

Here's what a friend of mine did a couple of years ago and he's planning on doing it again this year: He rides his bike from NE Portland to Timberline; gets a couple of hours of sleep; climbs the next morning; rides his bike back to NE Portland; grabs a bite to eat; then gets his kayak, puts it on his back and walks to the Willamette River where he puts in and paddles to Astoria. His family and friends (that didn't make the journey with him) meet him there and they spend the rest of the day surfing somewhere along the Oregon coast. He's crazy.

Evidently, the kind that steals lightbulbs too.

Wouldn't that be with? Toot is what you do lines with off of a hookers ass. no. of. lines of toot, off of the hookers ass. maybe. Hooker's. Possessive noun.

Not a bad price for a good tool.

That's tight. ~9 hours x 2 = 18 hours travel time to and from Seattle. Which leaves ~6 hours car-to-car from Bunny Flat. I'm close to calling bullshit. If it's true, then well done. Hope you didn't get any tickets.

My wife has it and she took some medication that helped quite a bit. If I recall, it was nifedipine? Don't have any still around, so that's a guess. But I think a trip to your doctor might yield some positive results. She was really surprised how much it helped.

Claro!

Update?

I have the same questions. After reading the blog and respecting the rules, I have stayed away from the park for the limited access restrictions. I think a better rule would be (I realize I'm not in charge): if you have a permit (& paid all fees), and have passed the Ranger's review of your qualifications and equipment, you should be able to walk in from any Park entrance and travel your intended route any time. Just as if you were leaving Paradise. As Sky mentioned, I don't get the crazy "10am Sunday" time restrictions when one clearly isn't interfering in any construction activity. Perhaps I am over-simplifying this? I'm sure I'm missing something. I really appreciate your blog Mike. Keep up the great work there. But hopefully you can add some clarity to this. Thanks

That's great news. And via one of the longest routes! Well done fellas.

I learn more about this crowd everyday.

Saw this last night. Excellent movie. Great footage and a good story. Stayed for the Everest movie too. Fine way to spend 2 hours.
