I'll have a glass. What is Eskimo Juice?

buy me a couple drinks, first

birds do it. Bees do it.

Bevis left, dude

You did hang a jar, didn't you? ;)

I haven't been backpacking, but I have been going north for two day trips, and car camping overnight. Gas prices have dropped below my tipping point, but I'm not expecting to see $2.50 a gallon. Sorry Timmus & Neil :p

I don't know the model, but the basic EMS winter gloves with the glove liners work pretty well for me, even wet. The gloves come off for heavy exertion, and the liners protect against the shock of putting on cold wet gloves.

There still is a snowmobile trail up Mt. Tom. It ends at about 3200'. I found the trail before I found the map.

There are a few 'Tumble' variations around, like Tumbledick and Tumbledown Dick. I wish I knew the origin of the expression. Again, not a 4K.

This trail is pleasantly wild. Lots of summer growth intruding on to the path. In the col between Unknown Pond Peak & Rogers Ledge, there is an island surrounded by water: Bog on the north, pond on the south. Approaching from the west, the puncheons are floating! :eek: :eek: The water is...

It's hip to be square The original jar had been placed on 5/4/00. The lid was rusted shut, but I had a full replacement kit. Will the little hill have to wait another 8 years, or will Square Mountain be 'in with the in crowd'?

I did it a couple years ago approaching from the Hogsback. It was pretty steep, but I used the very dense fir hoisting myself up & down. There were definitely human treadways on top, but the place may have gone wild. I got strafed by a small raptor. Maybe it was just playing ;)

. . . . . . D'oh!

This is the origin In more common usage, 'a big deal'. Doing the AT could be called 'an epic hike'.

9. "The Chimney" between E Osceola & Osceola.

Single, sweaty bushwhacker seeks open woods, ridgeline for summit cannister & possible long term commitment to the right list.

Vose Spur There is obvious wear heading up the slope. A designated trail laid out to minimize erosion would probably enhance the area.

Bushwhacking is a bit like art: I can't define it, but I know it when I am there; and it involves blood. If you aren't bleeding, the bushes didn't really whack you.

I'll drive 300 miles in a day to bag a peak so obscure that a lot of people on this board haven't heard of it, never mind the general population. The odds are greater of seeing a moose than seeing another person. I'll drive home exhausted to take a hot shower and sleep in a warm bed. This day...

I also own & recommend Denali Ascents. I tried the televator once and found I didn't like it. The shoes are noticeably loud and I can think of one additional drawback. Yesterday I left a tail behind in a spruce trap. I couldn't find it, but I was able to get down on one short shoe. I'll be...
