Re: 20110328 Suitable Title - Middle Hawkins

Nice write up fellas - we need the National Forest People to assign us guns and rubber bullets, so we can sniper the people that put graffiti on those rocks, we should be allowed to shoot them between the legs where it will hurt because they have no brains so shooting them there will have no effect ...

20110312 Baldy "ad infinitum"

Wanted a break from San J as I had been out there four weekends in a row. Ty and I decided to do a quick run up the Bowl before all the snow melted out, so we headed up to Manker where we ran into some of the usual suspects – Shin (doing his 224 summit of Baldy), So.

Re: Mill Creek Feb 20th - Breaking Trail is a B****!

Burchey,

Nice TR and great pictures, glad you went out and enjoyed the snow and made it back safely. The avalances are just getting started, old icy snow underneath is piled high with sugary supersoft stuff on top - add wind and sun and that makes for a slide.

Thanks for the report :D
