Geek_the_Greek Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 Somewhere on the ski/tumble down from camp Muir yesterday my thermarest seems to have detached from my pack. It's a 3/4 length standard green/brown one in a nice black Cactus Creek stuffsack. It's probably gone, but what the hey? Maybe some kind sould picked it up and will hang on to it for me... Quote
Dru Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 did you smoke the "green and brown" in muir hut while you were there? keep up a cc.com tradition? Quote
freeclimb9 Posted February 10, 2003 Posted February 10, 2003 probably somewhere near Yakima and heading further east Quote
Geek_the_Greek Posted February 10, 2003 Author Posted February 10, 2003 The "green and brown" would have been more pleasant than all the CO, CO2 and BO from a packed little hut with 20 people melting snow for 4 hours straight. I'm sure this was commented on in prior discussions, but Muir hut struck me as a poorly designed shelter for a high altitude camp - way too small a beds:airspace ratio. John Muir would never have stayed there. Next time, I'll dig a cave and bivy. Freeclimb, do you know anything about my thermarest? Why would it be heading east? Quote
freeclimb9 Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Thermarest in the wind. I watched one fly up El Cap one day. Record time. Quote
Geek_the_Greek Posted February 11, 2003 Author Posted February 11, 2003 Riiiiight. Well, maybe. But it was pretty densely packed, and in a stuff sack. I bet it's still there, sitting against an exposed rock somewhere on the snowfield. That, or someone picked it up and now has a spare thermarest. Quote
fleblebleb Posted February 11, 2003 Posted February 11, 2003 Can't believe you didn't post this here Quote
Fromage Posted February 12, 2003 Posted February 12, 2003 Hey sastrugi-head, I have a thermarest in my truck that wasn't there when we left for Muir. It is identical to yours but is full length. I think it was left by our unfortunate guest and she didn't take it with her when she left. If I can't get it back to her it will need a good home. And hey, chili dogs are Profigliano! Quote
