  1. Bummer. That was a cool old lodge. I learned how to ski there as a wee sprout.

    You've got to have a special permit to drive in downtown London I believe. Recycled. Yes cars from the 70's with auto tranys get worse milage. Lets stick to modern vehicles.

    So you're basing your view on 2 vehicles out of how many on the road in the US?

    As adjusted for inflation gas is still cheaper than it was in the late 70's.

    Yo dumbshit, you can't just start a website based on what you're not going to be you have to have a positive goal. After checking out your site all I can tell is you've started it because you're too much of a pussy to hang with CC.com. You have no content and you tell everyone in your forum descriptions that there's, "no fun allowed." Well guess what people are going to go where there are lots of pictures, trip reports, and most importantly action. PS If you were in prision with everybody from cc.com you would be Gary Yngve's bitch.

    I don't think Dru has ever driven on 405 let alone set foot in Renton.

    Once you land in a shit pile you're part of the problem.

    "Tree Care," is 2/3rds of my company's name. Sometimes we take care of your trees so you never have to worry about them again...ever.

    Is it just a coincidence that it rhymes with sewage.
  12. 2AM at my house. Then we had to shovel chips out of Jeff's pickup.
  13. There was only one real Canadian on the trip; though by now I should have an honorary citizenship based on how much time I've spent in Canada. I'll try and post some pictures soon.

    If they ban Dan they've gotten rid of 4% of their users and 7% of people who have ever posted.
  15. I had Ballard Muffler install a muffler on my International Cornbinder. They did a great job. On a regular basis I use Fleury's (20th and Leary). They've done mechanical work on all my trucks and they did all the mechanics for the company I used to work for.
  16. What about PP = Dr Mcgillicutty.
  17. I see you boys have been fighting a lot. Just so I'm clear on my earlier point I think the mounties are an option worth considering if you want to learn general mountaineering, but I'd agree with Rudy that the mounties are no place to learn real rock climbing skills. The Mounties can be a way to meet partners, but I'd say that you run the same risks that you do looking for partners on this site. What you need to do is learn how to ask the right questions and follow up questions of a potential partner. Don't just ask how hard do you lead ask what routes your potential partner has done in the recent past. If their statements on leading match up with the routes they've climbed then that's good. I'd also say that as a first climbing trip you should go somewhere where you know that you are well within your skill level. If things work out then you can do some crazy stuff. I learned general climbing skills as a teen with the mounties, but I got most of my real technical skills by climbing with friends after I left the mounties. Have fun climbing in the Cascades.
  18. I don't even know what SERENE means. I think I used to, but it didn't seem important enough to remember.
  19. Paranoid political
  20. My name is George W Bush, and I like to declare war on small countries. There I said it.
  21. I'd say the mounties can provide some good general Mountain information for a reasonable price. If you're starting cold it's a pretty good option. If you have some experience then refer to Mr E's list. Whether you stick with the club really depends on your personality.
  22. Psst...Dru, he's trying to change the subject.
  23. How many beers did you drink the night before?
  24. X 3B WO(except for gary)
