(I am more interested in being in a great place, rather than doing great things.) 8) Climbing would be preferably be on snow. Steep snow is okay and great! 9) A place where the mosquitos are absent I do not want to move my base camp because I would be bringing in good food and cooking steaks on a hibachi. And moving good food/hibachi would be a problem because I am not interested in slogging sleds around. Does such a place exist? If so, recommendations? I recommend looking at some maps to find your shangri-La. Questions 1-9 can be answered this way.

It won't be nearly 100km, maybe 60km, max. when is it. i might be in. i've biked and hiked it from white rock. running would be murder!

Nice pics Fabio

I carry pickets on my harness while in use. I'll put them on the gear loop farthest back so they don't keep getting in front of my legs. I havent used the longest pickets so it hasn't been a problem yet.

Haha, nice TR

It really anoyed me as I was watching the Remembrance days ceramonies and history TV documentries when people would say "they died fighting for the freedom we enjoy today", what about the countries who lost the war? They enjoy the same freedoms we enjoy. Why did they die then?

With each run the snow seemed to get better and less crusty (?). The best snow was down in the meadows below the glacier, but it was only about 15-20 inches deep... had to go fast in order not to hit rocks. "only about 15-20 inches deep"!!! How much more can you ask for?!

Integral tent fabric is not fire resistant and is not allowed to be sold in BC. Bivy sacs are allowed, try lighting a stove in one of those . The owner of the outdoors store where I live said so, although he also said he could order one for me if I really wanted . [ 11-11-2002, 05:29 PM: Message edited by: salbrecher ]

The rest of my group tryed to ski about 10cm of snow on grass and rock at the Hurly Silver Mine cabin on the duffy lake road. Unfortunatly the person putting skiis on the car though it would be funny to leave to roof rack undone, and I forgot to check it . One of my skiis decided to take flight in the first few kilometers of the trip and despite a lengthy search could not be recovered .

Nice slides dru, more talkin woulda been nice. Were those cheap ass compass' your idea? I wouldn't have been able to find my car with one . [ 11-07-2002, 12:22 PM: Message edited by: salbrecher ]

It reminds me of Napolean from animal farm the movie.
