The Curve I didn't realize that curve had a name, but it seems appropriate. I was riding shotgun in an International Scout heading southbound in the snow. We hit that curve, spun wildly, and flipped over on our side. I thought for sure we were going over the guard rail. :eek: A few other...

Mt. Sneffels I recommend climbing Mt. Sneffels near Ouray. It is one of the most beautiful peaks with an awesome view. Here is a link with good info and pictures: http://www.14ers.com/routemain.php?route=snef1&peak=Mt.%20Sneffels

Nashoba Anyone else ski there when all they had was 3 rope tows, an outhouse, and a small warming hut with a gravel floor? I used to think that hill was big and steep! :eek: Looking out the window with a beer in hand sounds like a great way to enjoy the place. What time are you getting...

One of the more memorable paddles I have had was kayaking during a sudden snow squall on a flat river. It was so peaceful and beautiful and totally comfy since the only exposed skin was my face.

Too Geeky There are only 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Very cool. This is interesting, too. There are some still photos as well as some links to videos. http://www.rock-on-rock-on.com/

I owned a '69 Lincoln Continental. It had drums in the rear but discs up front. It also had what were known as "suicide doors". The rear doors had their hinges on the rear edge. If your brakes failed going down the Auto Road you could open the rear doors and use them as air brakes.

Thanks for the tips.

Yup. Nice trip report! :)

I will soon be selling my rack equipped truck and getting a very small car. I can't/wouldn't want to mount racks on it. Living in a condo means I can't keep a trailer outside. This one looks good. Has anyone owned one or seen one...

In the '70s one of my older brothers and his partner were descending from the summit when gusts of 150 MPH literally knocked them off their feet and their eyes started freezing shut. They spent a day or so in the observatory until the storm passed. Later they hiked back with a cherry pie as a...

Awesome! What an amazing thing to do. Nice picture, can't wait to see more.

We bought our kayaks in March a few years ago and couldn't wait to use them. After spending a day downhill skiing we launched our kayaks off of a snow bank into the river the following morning. It was so beautiful. A strong snow squall hit but our only exposed skin was our faces so we were...

Just found this forum. Neat! I've been canoeing all my life, got hooked on sea-kayaking about 6 years ago. My wife and I have matching P&H Capella kayaks. We take them on local rivers, to the North Shore of the Boston area, and to Casco Bay, Maine. At least once a year we take them to the...

It probably varies. Maybe there are times when there is no rattle if the snake feels the threat is too close and there isn't time for a warning. The first time I heard one was at a reptile show and I was AMAZED at just how loud it was. It was just like a human had grabbed a handful of...

I came across a Timber Rattler stretched out across a path in Chelmsford, MA, last year. Luckily my wife is from South Dakota and has more sense about snakes than I do. I bent down for a better look and she said, "that's a rattle snake, you know". Just then it snapped into a coil ready to...

INTO THE UNKNOWN: The Remarkable Life of Hans Kraus Author slideshow/ book signing by Susan E.B. Schwartz (www.susanebschwartz.com) Description: Hans Kraus was a legendary American rock climber in the 1940’s and 1950’s, making first ascents like the still terrifying, High Exposure, in the...

Champney Falls for the same reasons. Also, just a short way from the Champney Falls parking is Sabbaday Falls parking and they are just a short easy walk. I bet your newbie would enjoy these, too. I still do.

John Lacroix has a plate that reads "HIKE4KS". You can see it in his film "48". Funny that this thread was started by Roxi. The only time I had a vanity plate it read "ROXY". That was for my favorite band Roxy Music.

I like this one.
