Did you get a visit from the great Doc Benton at Great Bear? :D He has terrorized me on a few occasions there... Looks like a fun trip!

Now that I see the name Robohiker, I retract my earlier comment: I DO think it's funny... and those of you who rely on such information and get scared when it doesn't work out are still morons.

Whatever happened to our good friend Robohiker? the name should have been the first clue...

I don't think it's funny either. But I think people who go somewhere b/c they think they have an extra margin of safety due to other trampers are morons :eek:

US Forest Service Silvics of North America

How do you know that?

It is indeed striped maple. The bark often (usually, actually) has that striped (hence the name) pattern with some being light green or white and some being reddish brown. The bark does sometimes appear almost entirely green, particularly on the youngest stems. It grows lots of places but most...

Frodo, you beat me to it. I thought Guy's journal entries were awesome reading! I love the play by plays on his winter adventures. and yes, of course, Mohamed was a terrific Accidents Editor for the last several years! I remember spending several days in the woods with Mohamed back before he...

Do we have any actual meteorologists amongst us? Every time there is a winter storm (as in every week of the winter months) we have one of these massively speculative threads about it. I'm often wonder if there are hikers getting their sole information from threads like this. I am not aware...

Go anyway. You'll have an epic trip and a great story to tell back home. what the hell are you going to do at home anyway? BOOOORRRRINNNNGGGG....... ;)

I'm not one to leave gear behind but this time I feel differently. If I were going after the impending dumping I would not bring them up the trail with me. I expect you'll have a hard enough time wading through the snow that you won't dare take your snowshoes off at all. I remember one trip on...

This is kind of like arguing whether $1.99/lb or $2.99/lb is a fairer price for filet mignon. If these semantics (and incorrect assumptions) keep you away, I suspect you miss lots of treasures in life. Is there an emoticon for I feel sorry for you? Reservations are not required for day use...

How the hell are we supposed to ask about klister in December if we don't have any snow? come on, DP, you know you want to respond... :D

Move 50 feet left or right and things will get better. it's kind of like the "grass is always greener" paradox...

northern end of BSP, of course!

This reminds me of The Great Wide Open Glade Debacle of 2005. It started like this: and ended more like this: what fun would it be if you always knew what you were getting into?

Something tells me the art of the artist is not that lame YouTube clip we just watched but something he will produce that we haven't yet seen (film, still photos, expose, whatever). Notice he was taking lots of still photos, too. I'll reserve judgment until I see the final product. If that was...
