Put some duct tape on the bad sections and yer good to go!

The Beacon Elk herd is doing fine, 20+...

I live 45 minutes from downtown PDX and am looking for a roommate. 5 minutes from Beacon Rock! Beatard Paradise!!! Le Casa De Beacon

I'd really want to try the pack on before pulling the trigger. Thanks.

Where are you located?

Gotem. Thanks! I'm glad the "drop" went as planned. Dave

Speaking of compact calories, is anyone interested in powdered ingredients? I know of a new company that offers state of the art dehydrating. This new revolutionary method retains virtually ALL of the original ingredients. Seems we could come up with some very specific climbing menus. Packed with pure Super Food. Would you like to try a sample? Powdered blue berry, acai berry, raspberry, kelp, and many more. I cannot reveal the details but am curious if there is a market for pure powdered ingredients?

Or just go to one of the many fine breweries that are on every corner. Oh wait, that's here at home. Actually, I'm gluten free so I am surrounded by breweries but can't have most beers. Not sure which is worse, my situation or yours???

a fair # of people in this world suck though, so why worry about them or their moniker-based hangups? a simple solution would be spelling - no reason it can't be "sweet fawker," eh? Fah-Q, Dude!

Start em young... I made this infant harness for one of my climbing buddies as a baby shower gift. I recommend you start them out belaying with a gri till they are old enough to at least hold the rope.

Don't forget Japan.

Don't forget to get a huge pizza and baked goods in Talkeetna and take them with you.

Don't forget the "Spice Girls". Love me some Pemican Bars on expeditions, too.

nonsense, send it to me - the universe has taken 3 of mine already, so, mine or not, i'm due (and i've been waiting to buy #4 until i've gotten one of the originals back) "The universe took them"? Or, perhaps YOU lost them?

Thanks!

Bump! One room left, only 5 minutes to Beacon Rock. Come live in Beatard heaven.

So, can we get a final synopsis of the best camera opinions? (Or, do I have to re-read the whole thread?) What camera(S) got the most recommends? Survey? My Panasonic Lumix is on it's last leg. I really like a lot of the features but it lacks durability and RAW. I may get another one like it unless I can be convinced otherwise.

Slowest......Camera........Ever. But I've seen one dropped a long ways and be just fine. So it really depends on what you need. So here's what I call a long drop! I dropped a guys brand new $450 Nikon off the top of "Rod of God" at Vantage, plus scratched the b'jesus out of my wife's nice p&s. ALWAYS use the STRAP! ALWAYS!!

I second the refurbished. I always avoid buying used electronics. Have you checked some of the discount sites online? Plenty of deals out there.

In honor of celebrating JH, I'd like to step up and offer him, and his band of do-gooders, a year supply of chalk. I'm also willing to pitch in the first $100 toward the auto-chalk/espresso machines on the appropriate ledges... Snag, Tree & Grassy... 8D I may disagree w Joe but I still consider him a friend. I just wish I could rope solo like that dude...

You mean, yer supposed to do them separately? Who'd a thunk it???

Or just go to one of the many fine breweries that are on every corner. Oh wait, that's here at home.

But the burgers were put up on lead, with a hand grill?

Care Bear! Care Bear!

MMM, chips and beer! I NEED BOTH! SOS!!!
