EISPIRATEN

I know people who say they would like no country to have borders around the world. Free lands.. (This is great.. until THOSE people start doing things YOU don't like...) They're just warming up for the opening ceremonies at Crystal Lake Campground. I heard Obama is sending the returning troops from...

go for it

sounds like a good way to die!

haven't done it, thought about those options. looks like a use trail on ridge east of Circle. just about getting up there.

I think you can make out the old road bed (bing maps claims its a rd still) and least up to where the canyon gets steep. probably not bad cross country up to PCT

Sorry I didn't mean to knock on the subject per se, I think its good a good discussion for here. I just have a thing with these writers, let's just say they get a lot wrong... Attitude is a lot of it, but perhaps the level of pain experienced is different between people. Maybe one guy (via genetics,...

I read that article yesterday, and it sucks. Leave it to NY Times health bozo writers to put stuff that doesn't say shit, other than, hey you have to endure pain to improve performance. Where's the science? none. And other articles where they can't count calories = epic fail. That's what happens whe...

I see from the comments on your blog that a certain SGMD ex-patriate still haunts you. Amazing how he hasn't changed one bit. Amazing, comical, and annoying all at once. Congrats on the incredible accomplishment. thanks. good old bible thumping Fight On is harmless. he's like a dog who keeps shitti...

thanks guys Ze, Another excellent adventure. Well done. Now that you know the way I assume you will return to try for a sub two hour round trip? I don't think I'll ever return! Nice work Ze! How’s it feel to conquer that bad boy? It’s hard to describe to anyone how hard that ridge until you’ve done ...

I don't understand why you didn't tag Waterman along the way? :D Good job and great trip report! I was ready to cry if there was anymore uphill! sunuvabitch! you didn't even respond to my email! Congrats! That's a wrap on the San Gabriel's then. Nothing left to do. :wink: are you telling me to try ...

Then there was the finding that the Martin Mars aircraft - which costs $1million (of your money) to keep on standby, whether they use it or not - was in the area and asked if they could drop their 6,000 gallons of water on the still small fire. They were told "no thanks", and proceeded to...

b/c no one will be buying it from them Why not? Prices must be allowed to drop enough to undercut the prices the cartels sell for. That will not happen once all the fees and taxes associated with permits and licenses are factored into the legal market price. Plus add in the expenses of running a le...

I dunno, I'd like to see if my heart could explode hiking up Baldy.

good question, where do you draw the line? but considering the line is currently drawn at alcohol and many argue than marijuana is less dangerous than it, you aren't crossing the line . from a personal standpoint I could care less, but certainly from what I've studied and experienced I'm less concer...
