  1. doesn't that add about 10 miles?? it's a little out of my league right now. going in early may to see a surgeon about knee issues! maybe i'll wait till june! In the meantime, I'll head somewhere else this weekend. Thanks!
  2. I couldn't find any info here about access to the north side, eliot glacier area. So, has anyone been up there recently? Is the road open to the trail head by cloud cap, or is it still closed? How close can you get before you have to ski/snow shoe in? Thanks! Dave

  4. i'll throw in another vote for either east side (close to 205) or (even better) up north here in vancouver!! But even then, 65 a month is outta my league!
  5. goal:175 1/17/09 201 gotten a little out of shape the past year or so!
  6. Still laughing!! This was great guys! Glad you made it back alive, you should send the story into climbing mag, they need some good epics like this in there.
  7. bradley, great pics man. thanks
  8. I have Comcast. I have the 6Mbps down/768 up. I have had no problems. But if you do, call in and a tech will come out and fix it. 99cents extra gets you the service protection plan, so you don't have to pay for any trouble calls. 30 money back guarantee, and NO contracts at all! By the way, the speeds are going way up beginning of the year!!! Price stays the same. 42 bucks if you have phone or tv with them also, 52 bucks if its internet only (internet only is 4down, 356 up but will go up to the standard speeds when the speed increase happens)

    Winter Camping

    agreed. Timberline is great for such a thing. park in the lower gravel lot, head north toward the mountain above a ravine. around that ravine should be plenty of spots to build a good one, if there is enough snow. With the weather this week, we may get enough. I would also suggest using wands or something to mark the perimeters of your cave so you don't get people walking over it and collapsing is on top of you. And ditto, stay away from roads and parking lots! Take pictures and post when your done! Good luck!
  10. Heres one on the same trip of my buddy with his big stupid grin and fat belly (ok, I lied, it's me ), just before the lower ice fall
  11. We left the night before they closed the road! Haven't been back up since then. Great pics man! We did not get that deep into the glacier. We spent most of our time in the lower ice fall, and then in between lower and upper drinking our beers before heading out. And yeah, the beer didn't stay in that condition very long!!!
  12. Sorry it's so late getting this posted, probably won't do anyone any good now, but here it is. A close up of the eliot, we are about central on the glacier, the big flat area below the upper ice fall. Mid september.
  13. Wow, you're right! I am definitely not voting for Palin/Mccain now.
  14. Won't happen, not the least of which is these people never admit mistakes:-) Same for Obama Biden, but that was spot on the money a good choice for Barak IMO. Nobody is changing horses in the middle of the stream. Even Honest Abe knows that, ask McClellan. I agree with Bill. Even if they believe they made a mistake in choosing her, I doubt they will dump her now. They don't want to admit a mistake this big. Then who will vote for him? If he can't make up his mind on an issue such as who should be his VEEP then what else is he going to flip flop on? If he does swap out now, he'll lose it for sure.
  15. Jesus Christ also commanded his followers to love all men. To treat everyone as we want to be treated. Jesus did not command, nor suggest that his followers force people to follow him, but to tell them the "good news" and give them the opportunity to choose for themselves whether or not to believe.
  16. You have a very good argument there. I never did say I do not vote. I do believe I said I would not vote on a certian issue. I will vote for people, who in turn will decide those issues, but I see no moral or civic reason for me to show up to specifically vote on an issue such as gay marriage. Using your same argument, it also applies to respecting each others beliefs and what they do or do not vote for. We have had people die for our freedoms. People fight everyday to protect our freedoms to choose. Therefore someone such as yourself, no matter how much you disagree with me, should at the very least respect my right to vote and believe how I choose. Not put me down because I believe differently than you, or because I may not follow your same political beliefs. Using all the same things you outlined above, if you truly believe in what you said, you would feel free to let me know you disagree, but not degrade me for choosing to vote differently. Most of this thread seems to be focused on how I will vote. Lets say I did decide to vote for mccain and palin, and then voted to make gay marriage illegal. shouldn't i be able to do that without having to worry about being persecuted because you do not agree with it?
  17. who is trying to ban what books?
  18. and that is fine with me. you can believe or not believe whatever you choose. that is one of the great things about this country.
  19. I'm sorry, but you are wrong. witchcraft is real, it is practiced by many people throughout the world as a religion. have you heard of wicca? Just because you and i don't believe in it, we think its a load, doesnt make it any less real. it is a religion that is practiced all over the world. i do not personally believe in spells and potions and such, but witchcraft is a real thing. just because you dont believe or accept something does not make it any less real. one of the major beliefs of wiccan is the worship of nature, and worship the spirits of all natural things. heres onesite i found these people certainly believe in it more now these are scary people, with some odd beliefs. but it is a real thing.
