It's gone.

Need to get rid of this. It's free to whoever wants it. I can deliver it in the Portland area and I'll be in the Kent/Seattle area June 16th through the 18th. It is very similar to this one If you want a picture I can email it to you. Aaron

Anybody using this tent or any of the other Montbell tents? Montbell Monoframe Shelter Hexagon Aaron

Well, this is what I f*cking have. I f*ucking purchased the god damn Lite Sabre bivy and the f*cking Feathered Friends Rock Wren. Now I really like how f*cking lite this sh*t is. I probably wouldn't take the f*ckin' sh*t on a wet/cold winter trip but for spring/summer/fall trips the sh*t f*ckin' kicks some serious ass. F*ckin' A.

I have the Atomic Telle Daddies, got them last year. In firm to soft conditions they are great. But in firm to icy conditions they are a lot of work. 99 under foot is a big ski to get up on an edge in icy conditions. Besides, they are a powder ski and that is where they will shine.

I'm looking for clubs in Northern Califrnia. Preferably in or around Eureka/Humbolt county. Thanks Aaron

Thinking of getting one of those kits that come with a light, drill, recipricating saw and a circular saw. The Rigid is $399 and the Dewalt is $499. both are 18v battery opperated and pretty much have the same specs. According to the guy at Home Depot the Rigid has a life time warranty and life time replacement on the batteries, the Dewalt has a 3 year warranty and once the batteries are dead you have to buy them yourself. Now if this is all true it seems pretty clear to me witch is the better choice, Rigid. Has anyone had any experience with Rigid or Dewalt? Aaron

Went into REI a couple months back to pick up a ski helmit and could not find any of the ski equipment. So I asked a clerk where they had the ski equipment. The guy just looks at me and laughs, "ski season is over dude". Aaron

Maybe this is why they call it a "tooth brush" and not a "teeth brush".

What makes you think people are going to change when they get to the mt? People are assholes on the road, in airports, in the malls, at REI, at the ski resorts and on and on and on. If you want to avoid the assholes stay home. Aaron

Did it last year but we only did 10 of them in two days. You could get all of them in a day pretty easily but we decided to take it easy and do a bivy half way through. Aaron

Did it look like the FF have consistant snow all the way down for skiing? Aaron

Can't say anything about the Kangaroo pocket but it took about a month to receive my pack after ordering it. I think I ordered mine about 5 years ago so it may be differant now. The only thing that will hurt after you order it will be your pocket book. I've been very happy with my McHale. Aaron

I think going up the left side and not crossing the creek was a little quicker. This was the first time I had gone up the right. The only thing about going up the left side is you have to cross on the lower glacier and it seemed a little harry when I've done it. So, I guess I prefer the right side. This trip It was nice to be able to ski to the Tline trail. With an easy hike out. Aaron

Two of us skied it earlier this year in February. We had planned to climb the Old Chute but at the last minute oppted to climb through the Pearly Gates. At the time when we did it there were chunks of water ice sticking out of snow that was just soft enough to get an edge in. I'm sure the conditions have changed since then. Aaron

Just thought I would give a big for Broadway Physical Therapy. Just finished my last visit with Joe Paterno. At the first visit he new exactly what was wrong and started me on an exercise program. After six visits and me working my ass off at home I am all better. I would highly recomend this place. Very nice people, but I haven't got the bill yet. Aaron

still for sale

What are the snow conditions on the Cascadian Couloir right now? Thinking of coming up from Portland in May to ski it. With the crappy snow we have this year is there enough to ski the whole thing? Aaron

perhaps if you live in WA. but when you ride a big mountain like bachelor, the gotama's are almost not fat enough Jeez...Bachelor ain't no stinken mountain. Bachelor=Flatchelor

What?

That seems kind of phat for a PNW ski.

I have a friend who just got a Dodge Big Horn (I think this is what they call it) 4X4, four door, pick-up with the Hemi engine. According to the little read out in the cab, this thing was getting 8 miles to the gallon going down the freeway at 60 mph. I couldn't imagine driving something like this when gas prices are where they're at. It hurts to drive my little Toyota. Gas prices will never get down to where they were a few years ago. But the auto makers continue to put out bigger and bigger vehicles. Toyota and Nissan have some pretty big trucks now and they are selling.

This may answer some questions. It still leaves me a bit confused. http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/feedemo/worp/worp-faqs.shtml I was wondering what is it like in Canada? Are the fees as rampent there as here?

If you purchased every membership, pass and permit you would go broke. This is just a short list that I have come up with. I'm sure there are more. Wa. and Or. Recreation Pass $85 annual Sno-park permit $15 annual, $7 for 3 day, $3 day Oregon Coast Permit $35 (this is a new one to me) National Park camping fee's $8-$14 day Mt St Helens and Adams climbing fee $15 ea or $30 annual Mt Rainier Reservation fee $20 Mt Rainier climbing fee $30 annual Lower Columbia Canoe Club $20 annual Red Lizard Running Club $30 Mazamas $75 annual and $15 per climb for members Portland United Mountain Pedalers (PUMP) $20 annual IMBA $15 Portland Wheelman $30 1 year or $50 2 years Portland Rock Gym $49 month or $539 prepaid for a year Bicycle Transportation Alliance $30 Donating to various web sites CC.com, TAY.com and what have you. This doesn't even include the gear you have buy, the gas money( I payed $2.15 a gallon today), Insurance for your car, and money. When will it end?

Whats the latest word on this place?
