It seems like a large enough group of people think the founding fathers had enough super power to see into the future and imagine all the changes or permutations the word, guns could take. Guns used to mean a musket or rifle and a hand gun. Ammunition changed too. You don't or shouldn't use a rapid fire gun for hunting, and there have been enough folks or small groups with a huge arsenal at there disposal who couldn't outrun the long arm of the law. Think Ruby Ridge or Waco Texas. I have no problem with the premise of the 2nd amendment. Better background checks and individual licensing like a car license that you have to renew? Yep cars kill people. At least it raises the bar while keeping guns available.

Nice, yep there are more important things to do than spending money to chase down folks smoking pot.

Dan's skied a few, "You skied what?"

If you look at 2,4-D use rules in Washington State (Pg-11) you'll notice the WS Department of Transportation no longer uses the 2, 4-D or Triclophyr for control Page-9 states Crossbow can be used in abandoned orchards. I can't see Beacon falling under the classification of an abandoned orchard. Beacon Rock brand fruit? In any case application of a chemical like that requires an WS pesticide applicators license or supervision by a license holder. http://www.epa.gov/espp/litstatus/effects/24d/attachment-d.pdf

From memories of high school days, Rush had a big fan group wider than the D&D crowd. Babe repellent maybe In any case they deserve a spot. While not my total favorite, there are lots of bands in the hall that were big names at one point in time. Back when Arena Rock was da bomb 10,000 times better than REO Speedwagon [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCeGCSvueM8

Nope. Don't piss off the plow truck drivers by parking in the area they use to turn around and marked with signs (Eastern Tunnel Portal). Careful observation, good traction, and parking in a legal spot or impeding highway/any traffic are the key elements to have or look for.

Trip: Arrowhead - NW Face Date: 12/9/2012 Trip Report: After debating early season conditions we decided to go where most of the snow went. Stevens pass reports looked good, and Arrowhead sounded like fun. My introduction to this seasons snow started with step kicking up plow compacted snow, taking a step beyond and sinking up to my chest in freshiez. Everybody else took my advice and put their skis on sooner. We didn't see previous skin tracks, bud did see a recent timber cut close to HWY-2 and east of the creek descending from Jim-Hill. The new cut stops at the upper road that traverses cuts above the highway. The rest of the climb was in, "as expected condition." Winds started cranking near the summit, and we didn't hang out. Who cares when powder calls ... . Since the snow pack is relatively shallow there's lots of fun tree dodging in the timber cuts below the peak, and moving skiers left of the creek crossing the cut seems like the best move. Lower down new cuts open up ski area style runs, but staying on submarine alert due to a new snow pack seemed like the best move. Gear Notes: Snow sliding devices recommended Approach Notes: The timber cut down low is the only difference of note

Kevbone, Base on your attitude why do you drink water provided by the local utility,or the government. By turning on the tap, filling a glass, and drinking it you're accepting the government is monitoring water quality. Do you give your kids cups of water? Are you sure they understand all the risks they are accepting? Dad gave it to me, it must be OK. Do you use power provided by the government? Have you thought about the risks.

Just wait till Kevbone posts proof the war of independence was a staged event. The Queen of England is in charge, just behind smoke and mirrors. [img:center]http://www.newsinfilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/dorothy-of-oz-8.jpg[/img]

I'm not happy till Costco sells supersized and discounted buds.

So, let him die? Is that what you are saying, alcoholteke? Rescue yes. The next obvious step is forcing him to apologize for being a dumbshit on Facebook. Maybe pay for a basic mountaineering class for him or someone with fewer financial resources.

Is shooting heroine a healthy alternative to vaccine injection. I see trucks all over town [img:center]http://www.1800gotjunk.com/_img/junk-truck-2.jpg[/img]

Places like the south slopes on Hood or Muir snowfield can require teamwork with map and compass in whiteouts. In bad conditions you need to take a bearing on your partner as they walk/ski.

Some folks worry about flu shots.

Sorry for not making it clear. Meany is still open. http://www.meanylodge.org/winter/ski_program.html Here's a picture of the tow. It runs about 20 mph and gains 500-feet. From the top you traverse to your favorite line.

Welcome to the world of corporate skiing. At least that's the trend. Even lift served ski areas used to be local and individual I learned how to ski at the Snoqualmie Mountaineers Lodge, and the Meany Hut. The Snoqualmie Lodge burned, so that isn't an option anymore. Tow Gripper

Don't forget Chimney Rock near Priest Lake. Maybe not newbie terrain, but worthy of aspiring to. It isn't too far from Spokane [img:center]http://www.lattaphoto.com/images/Digital%20images/Chimney%20Rock.jpg[/img]

I appreciate folks working in hospitals, emergency services, or retailers selling products for immediate consumption. But flat screen TVs or the latest Petzl ice axes
