Jim-san,

Those are called Omikuji, a kind of fortune cookie thingy without a cookie. After you draw one, hang it on the rack (sometimes tree branches, fences, etc.).

Nice TR, GigaMike. Amazing, how quickly snow melts! A week before right after the storm, there were only 4-5 parking spaces at the parking lot. The rest was completely buried under the snow. I wasn' t the first one to get in that day, but earlier groups turned back, and I broke the trail for a while...

Thanks for the news.

Glad I've done that before it changed.

On winter day hikes, I carry sleeping bag warmer or body warmer. I used it as a sleeping bag warmer when I snow camped. It's small, light, and really warm.

...severe leg cramps

But I feel sorry for the poor rangers who are gonna rescue their stupid selves after they get hurt or drop of heat exhaustion..........

...And those STUP*D people are wasting our tax $$$$$$$!

165 allocated for Japan domestic market, 335 for the rest of the world. In Japan, Toyota is mentioning buyer's 'qualification'. It sounds like beyond enough money and driver's license - maybe a race experience or...?

Checking out AQMD more because I felt strange about moderate rating. Now the site has Smoke Advisory and says Unhealty about San Gabriel area.

San Gorgonio has no Smoke Advisory.

Both Baldy and SanG are rated moderate, but Baldy has slightly better air quality.

Last summer when I did Half Dome with my teen-age daughter, we wore harness and had two each of slings and biners. You don't want to see your loved ones die. Before leaving home, I let her practice, clip, climb, unclip. When climbing, I was too busy assisting my daughter and had no chance to use min...
