Why the hell would ANYONE go to this instead of driving just a little further to see totality??? Although timely, I read an interesting article this morning concerning that...

The weather is indeed shaping up very nicely around here. NYT has this map which is being constantly updated. Hopefully not behind a paywall: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/science/solar-eclipse-cloud-cover-forecast-map.html Even though there's a long way to go forecast wise, I...

Accuweather is making a long range prediction on viewing conditions (scroll down to 2nd map). As I mentioned elsewhere, I'll be in Mazatlan where conditions are expected to be good. If not, I'll have plenty of booze available to console myself with. 🥴

On page 3 of this you can see the waves on the north ridge of N. Twin over a 25 year span. Very slow moving indeed! https://www.saltyhikes.com/beforeafter.pdf

Thanks for the news, PB. I tire of all or nothing groups. Actually, I'm more than a bit miffed, and will say no more, lest I spew. Interestingly, when I look down in the valley from Black (Benton), there are numerous cuts down there that make me go "oooo, that looks like a cool place to visit!"

One handy dandy final EIS for the huts. 😁

That's for sure, well, except for the helipad. :LOL: But they're not on the NEHH, soooo..... Speaking of which, I did come across a pail from the logging days high up on the side on the main peak, well away from any camp. I love coming across those random artifacts. "John, where's the ****...
