Re: House passes the EXPLORE act
I think it's important to remember that Government hates you. You are their enemy. The legislature (state and federal) is a cabal of lowlife degenerates who want to see you suffer. So yeah, go ahead and " write your senators ", and be prepared for them to tell you to go fuck yourself, because they r...

Re: Mt Rainier Timed Entry Permits
... "If you enter the park by vehicle before 7 am or after 3 pm, you do not need a reservation." (If you're coming from Portland, this means getting on the road by 4 am. Personally, I'd recommend spending the night on Skate Creek Road .) Heck, I don't think I've ever entered MRNP later than 7am. Ho...

Re: Horsetail Ridge
From your GPS track above, I gather you didn't go up the ridge until it gets close to Horsetail Creek Trail 425. Where/why did you leave the ridge and drop to Oneonta? How did that go? It doesn't look like you followed a natural feature like a spur ridge or creek, so perhaps you just aimlessly took ...

Re: 2022 and Beyond - Snow Levels
pct snow.jpg This kind of snow bank was the bane of my existence when I moved here. I was itching to get out hiking my first spring, but was always annoyed by the difficulties of snow-only-on-the-trail hiking. It's a paradox that makes a lot of sense when you know something about snow deposition an...

Re: Mt Rainier Timed Entry Permits
When I see how brilliantly our government bureaucrats manage natural resources and recreational sites, it fills me with optimism that they're fully prepared to address the immense challenges our country will face in coming decades.

Re: Happy Birthday!
Maybe our Burnside Bob?
But I don't know if he's a teacher.
And let's face it, there are a lot of Bobs out there.

Re: Lower Paradise Branch falls
Congrats! I'm certain I've never been there, nor has anybody else. ;) Seriously though, cool debut post. That's not an easy hike, especially this time of year. Sounds like you were able to stay right of Sandy on the ascent, which has been tricky for me in past years...but that creek does meander a b...

Re: I just won the "forgot something stupid" olympics

Re: Palmer Mill Road Side Paths
I keep forgetting to do this. Maybe after it dries out, which should be any month now.
