Hmmm... a lost thread, and a corresponding found thread. Were you folks able to connect?

I was just going through some books at home, and happened to be placing McPhee's 'Basin and Range' back on the shelf... glad to see you folks talking him up. He does an excellent job placing geologic processes in the context of geologic time, and makes plate tectonics almost exiting. 'The Control of Nature' is also worth a look, although it has little to do with geologic features you might be out climbing. Tabor was mentioned previously: his 'Guide to the Geology of Olympic National Park' has some pretty cool fold-out maps, and great pictures. It's out of print, but available for cheap online.

I figure this is a long shot posting here, but here goes. I found a camera tripod left on the McClellan Butte trail on 5/29 - I think it was left by the large party I passed who were heading down because the lost the trail. I also picked up a variety of water bladder parts, which I left at the trailhead. I figured the tripod would get stolen of used for taget practice at the trailhead, so took it home and have been posting where I can. PM and I'll get it back to you...
