The Boarder Patrol has taken up residence (somewhere) in Winthrop. the locals are not happy.

[G-spotter]

This operation was run out of the restaurant in Harrison Pot Springs that you drive by on your way to the Old Settler.

That's because snowboarding is fucking stupid.

Nice to know that our tax dollars are buying Playboy for every police officer in the state this month.

This kind of action by the drug runners puts us climbers under more scrutiny. If if ever gets too bad, they might just close Depot Creek to us.

[DirtyHarry]

They'll probably start busting climbers for going into Bear ...

[G-spotter]

If you climb American Border and I climb Canadian Border and we make a handoff across the border, who's watching []

[ivan]

reminds me of the time the vigilant canadian border folk seriously tried sweating us for smuggling dope iNTO maple-syrup land - there's a powerful genius at labor for you!

This one is easy, MORE people need to climb out there.

Cathredral Peak has been on my list for years, now might be the time to go.

Let them stop me, my selp-professed stupid awnsers can tie up multiple cops for hours.

Of course, my spotless record and piercing baby blues will ensure that all will be in vain.

I mean, it's a classic Thomas Crown affair type-thing.

Let's see:

War on Poverty: Failed

War on Cancer : Failed

War on Drugs : Failed

War on Terror : pending

 

Shouldn't there be a three strikes law for the US government?

[olyclimber]

hey, what do you got against FREEDOM pal! GOSH!

[kix]

you have no idea whats really happening out there.

 

[G-spotter]

is that Saddam on the left?

[ZimZam]

Great movie.

[ivan]

charlie didn't get much r'n'r - he was dug in too deep or moving too fast - his idea of a vacation was a bowl of cold rice and a little rat meat - he had only 2 ways home - death...or victory

[foraker]

Are you saying they hate us for our Hooters and buffalo wings?

[G-spotter]

Charlie's too busy making your iPod to hate you nowadays.

When I was on the summit of Cathedral last year, I actually witnessed a helicopter fly in from Canada, land on the other side of Amphitheatre's summit and stay there for a couple of minutes. He then took off and flew back into Canada.

 

The team of 5 that I saw up there also witnessed it. They also met a guy with 3 horses, full saddle bags, and carrying no horse feed prior to meeting up with me. The first thing the guy asked them was, "are you guys Rangers?". Beware the lone cowboy.

When me and my blond-hair, blue-eye climbing partner went into do Bear last summer, sans passport, they made us get out and talk to Canadian Immigration. The chearful clerk took one look at us, pronounced us to clearly be good, wholesome, clean American mountain climbers and bid us adieau.

 

Some wool was pulled that day.
