Just remember. I'm out there to enjoy it. There's no requirement to get the top this time.

It's the 21st? Wow. I thought it was the 12th. Nine whole days more to live. Maybe I'll start on that 48 thing...

I might join you for a bike/hike event in 2013.

A handy way to reduce ankle rolls is to only hike when the snow is deep enough to keep the rocks under the snow from tipping your snowshoes. :D

No facebook account no album viewing.. :(

An enjoyable hike. Great to meet the three of you..

I wonder if that study counted only those people who "exercise" or if it included those who do other things that make the body fit. I walk the dogs every day and I get to the gym most (for the resistive that keeps my weight up) but there are a thousand other things I do that keep me fit. My...

Waiting on winter Pete. Got the cold. Just need snow. How about you?

Point taken. The use of home heating oil had not entered my mind. The loss of electricity at the stations was the driver to my initial response.

Thank goodness the requirements have exception. Alcohol use and nudity would definitely need these statements:

Something to think about having spent a few years in a place my generator gets lots of use. In the real nasty storms you sometimes have to travel to find gasoline for a non-permanent (propane) generator. All stations have gasoline. Some have diesel.

Nice, big, quiet Honda Generator with an inverter so I don't fry my computers (work at home) but it cost a bit more than $1800:(. The GenTran system of breakers Tim describes works well (one of my 10 breakers is the office). The Honda is quieter than the neighbor's fancy propane powered...

I've used a pair of AustriAlpin 12 point for a number of years without problem. I keep saying I'll tweak the straps to make them a little easier to lock down but never get around to it.

Look at the thread started by our OP prior to this thread. Now look at his thread. I believe he accomplished what he intended to accomplish. ;)

Bent and repaired a hiking pole a few years ago. The fix I used here is still holding fine... Pole Fix Thread

Road ID on the wrist. THat way they can still ID if you lose your pack....

Don't see it mentioned and I don't get that fancy but I've had good luck with Flickr. 200 picture limit for a free account. $28/year for unlimited. Ability to group pictures into sets. Slide shows. Easy links. Works for me....

Gettin' close!

I always found it rather odd that folks participating in an athletic activity like hiking will often seek the closest parking spot at the trail head (or side of the road) to avoid that long walk to the trail where they're going for a long walk. I see it at my local gym too. The place with all...

A bit after he fact but a few cents from one of lighter stature (5-11, 155lb). Much of the cone and upper Jewel is a bit of a rock hop. I've often find that I can get a nice rhythm going on these surfaces and move along quite well. Toss in in a strong or or, even more so, gusty wind and I get...
