Ivan (and others...), please take no offense, but... I have to say I think it's fine (no pun intended) they're standing solid on their claims. I bet the back of your ticket says something like "If you don't pay us, we'll bust your balls." And they have to do it. Why? "cause if they didn't people wouldn't pay and the whoe fucking thing would be a REAL joke. Don't get me wrong, I think the forest pas thing has it's problems and I'm not sure we should be paying (see note below), but I'm glad they at least stick by the rules they've been established. It's only fair to those who exert extra effort/money to follow the rules that those who don't spend the money/jump through the hoops pay for it (anarchists: I'll choose not to listen to you. Call me ignorant. I don't care...) The flip side of it is the parking a mile from the trailhead thing: they know what your doing but just have to accept it 'cause we all play by the rules! The note about paying: I use nf's, parks, and campsites and never pay, and use downtown parking spots often and rarely pay. But I never bitch when I get a ticket. I broke the rules and I'll take the consequences. I'll close by once again saying don't take my comments as an insult, simply my take on enforcement.

Somebody told me the buckets 2/3 the way up Dr Leaky on Dinosaur Tower were chipped. They might have even told me they were chipped by the FA (unsubstantiated rumor!!!). Anybody know anything about this?

young grasshopper: you not choose climb. Climb choose you.

How come nobodies mentioned the mulligan?

That pretty much says it all, seems like.

Does it seem any worse than "I hate you, you fucking *"? While quite offensive, this seems worse than his "little eichmanns" comment and yet stillwithin the bounds of free speech (I hope!). (I'm assuming the regular disclaimers are not ness. here...)

Yeah, I was a little miffed at how tame his "comparison" was relative to how much shit he caught over it. Seems like they blew it out of proportion. But it looks like some of his other "creative" methods are going to get him in trouble!

http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2005/129.html University of Colorado at Boulder Chancellor Phil DiStefano today announced the findings of a preliminary review of allegations concerning the conduct and scholarship of Professor Ward Churchill. The review team, led by DiStefano, found that Churchill’s controversial essay on 9/11 and other public comments are protected by the First Amendment, but that other allegations of plagiarism, misuse of others’ work and fabrication may constitute research misconduct. Research misconduct, if proven, is subject to university sanctions. The report also pointed to possible research misconduct related to allegations that Churchill misrepresented his ethnicity “in order to gain credibility and attract an audience for (his) scholarship.” Under established university procedures, allegations of research misconduct are referred to the campus’s Standing Committee on Research Misconduct for further investigation. Findings of the committee will be submitted to the vice chancellor for academic affairs and the chancellor for action. DiStefano said that the recent controversy has “sorely tested our commitment as citizens and educators to the long-held values of freedom of expression, professional integrity, academic freedom and intellectual honesty.” However, he said, the university responded to the intense public debate by engaging in a deliberative process, beginning with the preliminary review just concluded. DiStefano said, “The review process was both laborious and methodical, but we remained constantly aware of the gravity of our task and the importance of its outcomes.” He said the team researched the Laws of the Regents and the historic principles of free speech and academic freedom. They reviewed nearly 100 works by Churchill and published critiques of his work. The team also consulted with outside experts concerning relevant issues. DiStefano was assisted in the preliminary review by Todd Gleeson, dean of arts and sciences, and David Getches, dean of law. The team’s report was released in a news conference held in Denver, following a regular meeting of the CU Board of Regents.

pm's regarding the camalots

oh wait. I meant It seems to belong there anyways....

ditto

Exactly.

This is NOT correct. But nice investigative work.

OK, I'm not totally square on the rules of this game, but I'll throw one out and see if anybody can get it... link to photo gallery big image

Totally different places, miles and miles apart. Goode is visible from both spots though.... Sorry. In my haste I neglected to reference the comment klenke makes for this photo: "In the foreground right of center is Pk 7450 near the head of Rainbow Creek(#13). Mt. Logan is on horizon and Mt. Goode is at far left." In the words of my real and complex analysis prof: "the rest is trivial!" Nice photo.

My take on the issue is that the issue is not wieght but instead bulk. I don't mind heaving around more weight, I'm just annoyed when it makes my pack big and clunky. I've got a Lafuma super light weight 800 fill ~20 deg down bag (sorry, don't know the exact model) but in retrospect, would go instead of a synthetic w/ a comp. sack simply for the peace of mind about water.

At least it's outside. Could be worse.... or or, hell, what about Seems better than any of those options...

Call me a retard, but this is darrington your talking about? I guess to be even more specific, your talking about Clear Creek road? thanks for the info dave
