Fact : My Garmin 60csx died during our trip outwest. This thread makes me realize I might be a lame person because I'm using a GPS to help me get to a trailless summit. SO.... I'm not gonna get a new one, and if something happen to me I'll blame Neil (and VFTT). (BTW, if you ever got problems...

Do you really want to bring back the discussions about elitism ? Navigation is overrated. That's my opinion.

Sensationalism works. Ask Rupert Murdoch.

My parents. Not very original, eh ? Very young, my father was teaching me all kind of things... -Don't fight the bugs, stay calm and don't scratch yourself if get bite. -Don't bring a water bottle, just drink each time you cross a brook. -Be quiet, and maybe we'll see wildlife. -Always...

... So your parents were telling you: ''Get out !!!!!!!!!!!'' everyday.

I'll feed you with data Trish, as we'll be doing these peaks in August, plus Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska (but not Arizona). Julie

Wind direction was just right I guess... So glad Northeast bears are not that dangerous !

Congrats ! http://www.toughtraveler.com/cat3.asp We have one in the family for 15 years, 8 kids travelled in it and we did only one repair (changing a bolt). Light, compact, easy to wash and free of unecessary gadgets.

Does anyone has suggestions for great small hikes in the City of Angels area ? Pasadena is where I'll stay. We'll be with 8-10 years old, and it has to be maximum 4h RT. We would like to have views of the city and the ocean. Canyons, waterfalls, summits, it doesn't matter. Thanks !!! :)

When I'm back from hiking a mountain with my kids (does elevation matters ?), I always feel so good about it, I don't care about what other parents thinks. I know it's good for them, and it is not against any laws, point final. To me, nuts are the ones that are waiting for other people's...

Very nice to see you back out there Mary Ellen :) I wish you a great summer of hiking.

Hi Marty ! If you have time, try hiking in Charlevoix : Mont du Lac des Cygnes, Parc des Hautes-Gorges. Take the ferry accross the St.Laurence River instead of the bridge, for pretty views of Chateau Frontenac (Traversier Québec-Lévis) Good poutine : Chez Ashton (many locations, nothing...

Good luck and congrats for the job Mats ! We can't make it on the 21st (sister in-law's wedding), too bad we won't have a chance to see you before you leave... That hot tub party will last forever in my memory ;) So close to Yellowstone, Teton's ! Lucky you :cool: Goodbye Mats !

Same thing happened to me at IKEA, and nothing got stolen. I guess it look like you are going to be back in a second...

Icy trail starting at elevation 2600', and full snow cover above 3000'. Snowshoes worked great, especially the blue ones ;). On the western slopes, going toward Ste Annes, there was occasional patches of snow and very little ice. Later that day I did North Dome and Sherrill, both have maybe a...

Gotta give back sometimes !! Hope to see you and Sabrina again soon :-)

Now, that's something amazing ! Thanks for sharing.

Like we say in my country : Double BRAVO, I am WOW-erised Mats, what a accomplishment !!! RE-WOW again for coming up with such a strong mental spirit, I mean, Tecumseh can be a b*tch ! Good friends of mine did it in winter a long time ago, expedition style too : Tecumseh expe Sorry if you...

Very cool, those animals are amazing. Inspiration for any climbers !
