I'll be heading "back east" this weekend with my girlfriend. We're going to my friend's wedding and we're going to make a detour through the whites. Not sure how long we'll be there. Could be as much as a day and a half. I don't think we'll be up for a long hike. I'd maybe like to do...

That's a very thorough review. Thanks so much! When you bought your's, did they give you 3 choices each for snugness and length? In the measurements part, you put in your measurements, then you can select technical, standard, or "for layering" for snugness and then you can select "ends at top...

I know softshells get talked about a lot, but I've got a question that pertains to a new model with a new material - polartec powershield O2. I'm in the market for a softshell and I've narrowed it down to two options. The arcteryx hercules hoody or the beyondclothing cold fusion. I've tried...

Oooooh, there it is! Oh, wait. That's not Rainier. That's Adams. Nice consolation prize. Around the corner Something comes into view Could it be? Yes. I think so. Definitely. Most definitely. The winding road back. It's all downhill from here.

The hiking in Washington is so choice. I highly recommend it if you have the means. It was a beautiful day and I didn't have the schedule flexibility for a big hike. I thought about going to the beach, but with the summit of Rainier being clear and the alpine flora in bloom, I set out to get...

Kinda dry and bland, but pretty good for you. It's what you put into it that counts.

Way to get after it.

a) some people are just negative, and like inexperienced hikers, they are ignorant of what they're doing wrong b) as we become wiser, we become forgetful... of the fact that at one time we weren't so wise

Photobucket is very smooth. I think Flickr does the same thing, but it gives you the tags so you can post pics on message board threads.

Was that group of 40 in separate smaller groups? It's common for humans to not help out if they know there's others out there capable of helping out. This is from "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell. Example: Someone hears a scream for help from someone in a large apartment building...

That's a badass run. You should have saved it for June 6th (6/6/06)

A few years ago a dust-devil hit Lebanon, ME. It ripped a roof off a store and pretty much destroyed the place.

Sawyer River was flowing pretty good today. Road was in fine condition.

Sold out. Sorry for the inaccurate assesment. ...and I hope that wasn't too spam-y. Just trying to tell people about a good deal they might be interested in.

On http://www.steepandcheap.com till supplies last. This looks the same as the big agnes air core I have, which I'm quite happy with. edit: it appears to be heavier, but that also means better insulation I assume (mine isn't good below freezing) Right now, it looks like there's quite a few...
