    Coyote Attack

    What would you do if you where surrounded by coyotes? It just may be time to start thinking about carrying some safety spray! Lead or pepper, the extra weight is worth the safety.

    "climb for the wrong reasons"

    "climb for the wrong reasons"

    Speaking of religion, Jesus said "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life. No one comes to the Father but through me." in John 14:6. Does this make Him an elitist? "Is it wrong to believe in something and stand up for it?" What if what you believe in is wrong? Is it wrong to stand up for...

    Carrigain, 10/31/05

    Most difficult of all! Thank for the congrats! This was indeed the most difficult hike of my 48. I got hooked in 1981 doing Moosiluake. With life’s many distractions, other priorities, and obstacles perseverance pays off. This trip was my most difficult yet with all the blowdowns and...

If that is true, then if we find oil or whatever we need or want to live then evolution would say go...

    not without peril

    I don't remember exactly which story but it was the one about two guys who go up to I think to Jefferson in winter and the planner of the hike, known to be somewhat arrogant, leaves his partner to go on to Washington. The guy left behind dies and at the end of the account when asked what he...

    What do you think of this study ?

    "In general, Zuckerman's research shows, people born with a predisposition toward risk tend to engage in activities and associate with people who affirm that need. 'They tend to seek out friends who are high sensation seekers, too.' " Gee, I guess that's why we have Views From The Top, huh? :D
