I thought I heard he was going to come out of retirement (again )

I've heard that only herbicide really gets rid of that stuff. I guess the black plastic would work, but tough to cover a whole yard. If you start pulling it up, you start realizing just how extensively that shit travels underground. Another solution may be to douse your lot in diesel fuel and have a nice bonfire upon which to roast horsecock and snafflehounds.

Bring it, ya' freaky green midget.

Bummer on the closure. Thanks for the FYI. Matt- what was your experience like at Hot Springs Cove in the summer? I've heard it can be great, the best, but didn't hit it at the right time.

You're right about the boat at the dock. I checked the place out and decided not to stay there. Yeah, it's technically a B&B, but it's a boat and the rooms are tiny and you are forced to hang out with the dot-commer that runs the thing. No thanks. There is a first nation village across from the dock (a local will come and get you) and they have a small motel - really cheap, lots of room, a kitchenette, and they'll ferry you across to the other side for things like going to the springs or picking up the plane. I'd rather support the first nation than some millionaire with boat. Sorry, I don't have pics.

The Hotsprings near Tofino - I take it you are talking about Hot Springs Cove - is not a place for Bermuda shorts and floral patterned shirts. Not this time of year at least. That place is hard to get to. You gotta either take a seaplane or go on a long boat ride through potentially rough waters (open pacific). I went out there one thanksgiving during a rainy weekend and found it quite rustic, basically non-existent while we were there. The spring comes out of the earth just a couple dozen yeards from the ocean and runs overground until dropping over a rock back into the ocean. Here is where people build up little "pools" out of rocks in the intertidal zone. I've heard the pools can be quite nice, especially with the cold ocean water splashing up once in a while. But, the high tide wipes out the pools and they must be rebuilt afterwards. When my wife and I were there it was pissing freezing rain, there were no pools, and we shivered for a while underneath a dripping luke-warm stream before deciding it was not worth it and heading to the Indian village further toward the mouth of the cove. That night is stormed like hell - darkest stormiest night I've ever experienced - and we took the local supercharged aluminum boat "taxi" back to Tofino through 20 foot swells. It was quite an adventure, but definetely not flip flop and bermuda friendly. If you're looking for rustic but nice, try Goldmier hotsprings up the middle fork of the snoqualmie (north of alpental by air). That place I've heard some place in Oregon (brightenbush ?) is nice, but developed and $$. When is somebody going to redevelop Scenic? That place was sweet in the winter - soaking surrounded by mounds of deep pow pow.

Why? Is the Superbowl tomorrow?

Start 'em young.

Where's this Beck character now?

??

Was this the very first pub club? 4.5 yrs. and Ballard still seems to be the preferred spot. Whaddayaknow?

Yummy toaster struddle. I 2nd that emotion! It's the best ramen I've ever tried. Add a little horsecock and you've got yerself a meal.

Tom's Swimming Rama is some of the best Thai food on earth. Hot Damn!

***SOLD *** I used to have a set of G3 bindings and bought spare set of wires to go along with them. I no longer have the bindings, so these are are of no use to me. Specs: 4 wires (2 tall, 2 short), brand new. Retail for $25. $10. PM me.

Thanks for all the info. I called marmot and they've got the exact one you were talking about. $24 for 2-4 days. Not bad if you only need it for a couple day outing.

Ha! Sorry, not a snowmobile. I'm talking about an actual sled that you pull behind you.

Where can one find a ski sled to rent or buy in the Seattle area? A friend of mine is heading into some huts over the weekend and is looking for a sled to ease the pain. I know that buying a cheap plastic sled and rigging up some slings is always an option, but he's looking for a better option.

holy crap this has to be the be the fastest growing thread of all time. 6 pages already?

4:20 is the gayest stoner bullshit I've ever heard of. Every day at 4:20 Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks hippies in the face, then proceeds to smoke a fatty rolled out of their ganga and patchwork hippie clothing.

yeah, how the hell do you find that crap?

Damn. Nice water. I wonder where that is. I've heard the computer dude who is the main source of funding for alpinist is more of a sailor these days. Maybe that's his boat?

I think the problem is that most people that post to this board have entered the contest and would thus be biased judges!
