EISPIRATEN

That's incredible, Ryan! I was following the dot every day, wondering if you would ever run out of steam. Massive effort. Let's go ride the Mojave Road!

I would do it from topography. You can get a surface mesh from USGS (the SRTM data), or a higher-res thing from the county. The "mountains" can be defined as the region with a non-constant-ish gradient high-ish gradient (i.e. anything not flat). Then you start in the middle, and find the l...

I'll just leave this here: the-pole-has-been-accessed-t7040.html

And for more mind bending, look at the results from last year's edition of the same race: http://trackleaders.com/pacificcoast22.php

Kris and I just did a solidarity ride to San Diego. That was tiring. What Ryan is doing is bonkers.

There isn't anything wrong with Firefox. By switching to a new browser you have effectively cleared your cookies (since each browser has its own set), which worked around tapatalk's bug: they changed something so that their own cookie confuse them.

Yes. That was a typo. The thing that you are able to log on with today: is that the one you normally never use to talk to tapatalk?

Works great for me! Well. As great as it usually works...

HikeUp: you can login on your computer, but not the phone. May I assume that you usually use the phone, and use the computer to log-in to tapatalk approximately never, until it broke just now, and you tried it?

That looks very suspicious. I wouldn't eat it.

Works here.

Certainly before Internet. I knew those names when I was in Scouts, early to mid 1980s.

OK. I will send the OSM verification police to you!

They COULD be. Do you want them to be? What's the reference for those names?

Hah. I didn't even do that. Is that the right location, though? I thought it was North of the crest?

You can import it into caltopo, and post a link.

Yours is very un-shabby also! I imagine many people here have exciting cumulative maps. Let's see them!

For those not yet aware, the MRCA owns that pullout across from Barret Stoddard rd. That's all they own. Just that little pullout. And the way the use that tiny bit of land is to put up no-parking signs, and then to patrol that one pullout to write tickets. Bleh.

Geez. ?

So lame

Did Baldy today and the west side of the road has all no parking signs now near Barett-Stoddard Road but people parked there anyway and they were giving out lotsa tickets, cha-ching. That pisses me off so much. At least there's good signage now? Pop quiz: who's the "they" that are giving ...

I have this on my wall:

That is excellent! It took me years to get up to Wilson and Baldy since I was working on finishing everything else closer. I wasn't quite as thorough with the mapping as you, but the rationale was similar I think. Haven't been up to Whitney yet, and I'm not almost there

There are falls above the mine too: allison-mine-to-iron-mountain-t8026.html

Have you rapped those, Taco? I remember you talking about it

We def have scorpions!

Thanks for the report. I've never been to the falls, but I've taken the trail around them several times. Each time I'm shocked it's still there. How far past the trail are the falls?

Charge for parking. Use the $ to haul out the trash.

HikeUp: the water tank on the ridge towards the right of your photo is the West end of Barley Flats. The same tank is visible in one of courtney's photos. I still don't see it in your photo, though. It might be just out of view, or maybe behind something, since it's a very different angle.

He was right on the boundary of the ANF.

I guess it was right near the lower sam merrill trailhead. maxmapper: you're famous!

Looks like Colin got into trouble very early in the hike. Be safe, everyone.

Thanks for the idea. It seems unlikely to me because it would make what would already be a challenging trip much more challenging: - Much longer-than-usual approach - In the heat - On a new, untried route It sounds like SAR has clues about where to look, but they haven't found a trace of him. So who...

I don't really know. I think they use instagram, so maybe check there.
