Thanks for that. I feel like I know the guy a lot better now. What an incredible guy

Are you a federal employee or somethin'? The NW Forest pass and the other fee programs set up under HIRA are a load of BS. Yes, they fill important funding gaps, but that filler should not be coming from user fees for public land. The emphasis is on "PUBLIC" here people!

pretty sure I call that "booty" when I see it. Are you sure the phone # was readable? foot sweat makes sharpie ink bleed...

Thanks! that is a really good description. The drawn on photos are a real help for anyone preparing for the route

baa

that would be a fun thing to do at Trout Creek. A particular climb named Timebomb comes to mind. problem is, you gotta be close enough to crank the jack. that puts you in the rockfall zone

bike the mckenzie river trail. it is east of eugene 45 min. 27 miles, 2500 ft elevation loss, oldgrowth, trailside hotsprings, waterfalls, technical lava for a few miles, fast winding singletrack. if you are going to smith, you will basically drive right past it on your way back to I5 headed south. only trouble is you need to shuttle it, but I have never had a problem hitchhiking back to the top. McKenzie R Trail is consistently rate in the top 5 best bike trails in the world. This time of year, Lost Rocks on the redwood coast is real nice too.

Never gonna happen. Its the Menage or Harlan for us, with a little Gardening on the side.

You will get your wish. He is taking a several year hiatus from performing. This is the last concert for a few years

so sick! Look at the front forks on some of the bikes doing big drops! Damn thing is probably worth as much as my car!

Only $115k?! Thats a steal! Woot!

Mr. Hands, You just can't be without your horses, can you? It sounds like billcoe prefers mules. Have you ever considered a mule in place of your horse?

That would be so fun. I wonder if there's any slot canyons in Zion that could be flown similarly? (probably against NPS regs though)

are the top outs as muddy and yucks as they look in that photo? Or do you rap down to get off? Thanks for making it public Billy boy!!!

I just found out the hard way I have a negative reaction to getting stung! I was biking with 2 friends, and as soon as I stopped to move a log that had fallen in the trail I got mobbed. I think there was a yellow jacket nest near by or maybe under the log, and boy did I piss them off! I got 4 or 5 stings (scalp, chest, and both legs). This makes 8 stings in 2 months, with the reaction from each sting being progressively worse. I kinda knew that 4 stings all at once would be a bad thing, so we went straight to the hospital. In the 30 minutes it took to drive there, my ear canals started swelling up badly, then my face (which went quite numb after a while), then a slight throat swelling, but luckily that never progressed much further. By the time we were at the hospital I had full body hives/rash that itched like I had been rolling naked in a bark pile. I didn't have to get epi-penned, but got a SERIOUS dose of steroids and benadryl to help stop the swelling. I did get an epi-pen for the future which is good, but I am not excited about AT ALL! Now I have one more thing I have to remember to carry everywhere, grrr... Stupid bees. My question is, the directions on an epipen are that it needs to be kept at very mild temperatures, no freezing or above 100F or so. Does anyone have solutions to preserving the contents in the extreme environments we play in? I am not assuming I'd be bringing this along on a winter epic, but at elevation freezing nights happen often enough. Any insights to this new affliction are appreciated. Also, factoid of the day: the average human can survive 10 stings per lb of body weight! I would have never guessed it was that high!

wife just got some last week. she is a hardcore runner, and says the jury is still out on them, but she likes them so far. for running it changes your running form so much that it can do real good or real harm depending on your stride and muscle/tendon stability. we'll see how it goes long term for her.

[video:youtube] I'd say they aren't just drunk... I haven't ever gotten this trashed, but I have been able to set up my tent without remembering anything about it the next morning.

4:20 is making it's 2nd appearance of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pretty much sums it up! So what do I do with my savings that I was just about to invest?

but the walk off is half the adventure!

last year this time we had to rap off the ends on a 30m rappel to hit snow. kinda scary, but it works

OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD. That is the funniest shit I have ever seen.

can't she fall off a cliff and die already. she is sooo 2008

the red camalot is the only cam you'll need
