shapp Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 According to the Pro Mt. Sports website, they are closed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. So I guess we have to wait until 11/12 to get the shizz on Darrington. Any more news on the road blow outs. If they are bad I suggest some one type a form letter, post it at CC.com so we can all sign it and send it to the Forest Service so they know how bad we want it fixed. If no one complains it won't be fixed in our life times. And no I am not volunteering to write the form letter, I think it should be from a long time local with history of the area.

mattp Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 Shapp - The washouts are pretty bad but you can probably get your car through there still. The big worry is that if they don't fix it now, there will be no road left in the Spring. An actual letter from you (and any other interested parties) would be helpful, I'm sure. Just politely say you appreciate the fact that they have been maintaining that road and the Eightmile Creek trail over the last few years, you hope it will continue, and you hope they can fix those washouts asap. A plea for more maintenance of the road ends in Copper Creek and on the Helena Spur would be helpful, too (the last roughly two miles of road serving Green Giant Buttress and the last mile to Blueberry Hill are badly overgrown and starting to suffer from water/flood damage so a truck or car you don't care about is becoming more and more necessary).

Dave_Schuldt Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 The guy at the slide show said they were dumping gravel into the washouts. We should go up there and see if there is anything we cand do. I am willing to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidW Posted November 21, 2003 Author Share Posted November 21, 2003 Hey thanks to everyone who's been checking out the new Darrington Guide, featuring a great pic by Matt Perkins on the cover!...... for all you Eastsiders its now available from Marmot Mtn Works in Bellevue. Tell 'em you heard it here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Schuldt Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Mac users take note, haven't tried this yet Hi Dave........ Ah another Mac person! Thanks for buying the book..... I'll see if I can't help you get started here. I have a Mac too and for some time I was gonna abandon us to the ether but Dave managed to get this to work for both platforms. I only have Mac OS-9 on a 4 year old iMac so you should be ok....... The program opens itself on a PC, but here's what should work for you on your Mac: 1. Insert Rattle & Slime disk into your computer 2. Create a new folder on your desktop by accessing "NEW FOLDER" from the File Menu. Title the folder Darrington Guide or Rattle & Slime or whatever you choose. 3. Copy all documents and files from the original disk into the file on your desktop. (Hold down the shift button and click and drag all files into your new folder....... it will probably take 3-5 minutes to copy everything to your hardrive.) 4. Go into the newly created folder, locate the file titled: GUIDE.HQX and double click it....Stuffit should immediately launch and open the file. As it does this it creates a new icon in your Rattle & Slime Folder, You should then see a round icon with a sort of an "f" on it and "guide.1" appearing underneath. This is the book..... clicking on that should get you where you wanna be. At this point I create an alias (with the guide.1 icon highlighted, single click....... go into your File Menu and select "Make Alias" it will duplicate the icon right underneath the previous one but you will notice that the title is Italic instead of Roman...... highlight that and call it Rattle and Slime and drag it out to live on our desktop... its not the actual program but it goes and opens it for you. Leave the actual program in your program folder and store it anywhere you want on your computer..... I suggest in the applications folder on your hardrive. The actual disk you bought can be removed and stored with your other disks at this time. That should get you going Dave......... lemme know if you have any further questions and I will refer you to Dave Burdick....... the software wizard who engineered the whole thing. Thanks again and pray for a short winter! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
