Indian Summer

Not quite fall but...

 

You get

 

Cold nights

Warm days

Pretty colours

Sticky rubber

Dead bugs

No sunburns

Hibernating snafflehounds

 

Downsides are shorter days and you might meet hunters and get shot.

 

But its still good time of year. good for cragging, alpine, alpine ice; everything except north facing alpine rock, snow sports and power tanning.

I saw a guy walking his cat in the Smoke Bluffs once.

 

It would be great for keeping Snafflehounds under control in the alpine! And if you had a pet cougar you would be able to climb up Rainier or Si without getting stuck behind Scotteryx party [laf]

we met some nut on potash road outside moab a couple of years ago.....he had cats wandering all around his squatter camp.....said they killed snakes and rats...only thing dogs were good for was the food....then he told us once the us was destroyed maybe our rappelling skills might be hlpful to reach the new cliff dwellings...

 

he had some great reading too....

I have found that my cats don't give a rats ass how long we are gone for as long as someone shows up from time to time to feed them food. Leashed trained cats can be fun,except mine equate the leash with the vet [Eek!] bad training on my part I am sure [Razz]

from personal experience growing up with cats, they don't understand the concept of a leash. Better to get one on those cat straightjackets the vets have to give shots. Just a tube with a bawling cat head sticking out the top! pretty funny. Maybe w/ a biner on the back you could clip it to your gear loops during day and let it out at bivies for snaffle protection? [Confused]
