EISPIRATEN

great picture!

I don't understand why you didn't tag Waterman along the way? Good job and great trip report!

Great trip report. Did you need crampons or an ice axe?

Good job turtle! That is an amazing accomplishment.

I am glad you agree with me.

Uh, $$? If it costs them more to smuggle it than they make selling it - they'll stop. Uhhh, 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 pri...

if government lards up the consumer price with too many taxes Does anyone really think they wont lard up the price with taxes? Why give those clowns in Sacramento another source of revenue to waste. I am voting no, but even if it passes, it will never take effect. I read this in the San Francisco c...

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...

Do you honestly think the cartels will just stop smuggling pot if its legalized in California? Why would they stop?

How does a tobacco company make any money if everyone can grow it in their backyard for free?

Even if you make pot legal in California, the Mexican Cartels aren't going to give up smuggling and killing and get jobs at Walmart. There will still be millions of dollars to be made. People sitting around smoking pot and watching Scooby Doo reruns isn't the problem. Its the 1000's of people being ...

I did a quick hike up Sunset peak yesterday around 4pm. I was on top when a cell came over Ontario Peak then moved west. Just light rain, but there was lightning and thunder. Needless to say, I did some running on the way down. :D More pictures here. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_yGbBedEcKn0/TKPvSeLWpzI/AAA...

I hear this stuff works good:

$25 a month just to have the option to use the satellite function + $0.65 a minute.

Good job guys, I see the training is going well.

Turtle went on ahead to do laps between the saddle and Chapman until I arrived

That is just wrong!

Good job guys! It seems there is no way of hiking that peak without a scree slogging extravaganza. I can't decide which scree slope sucks more, the south face slope or the slope above Clyde Meadow.

Nice job, I hope your boss doesn't read this forum.

I have slept in my truck there a few times. Just keep a low profile and put your food in a bear locker by the trailhead. There is also a backpackers camp by the trailhead, but it is usually full of mega size walmart tents and crying children.

If you want peace and quite, go to horseshoe meadows.

That explains everything.

On to the facilities: when we arrived on Thursday they were bad (feces on the ground and walls -- how is that even possible?) -- but the next day (Friday) more large groups arrived and by noon someone had defecated on the *back* of the toilet-seat in a LARGE pile in one of the toilets close to the ...

Dang Taco! Glad it ended up OK!

I was dragging enough to have turned on towards Little Charlton, bypassing its big brother's summit by around 100 horizontal feet. For the record, it was more like 50 feet, and he didn't want to lose his NHPS membership by standing on the 2' high pile of rocks that is Charltons true summit. Also, I...

I like the ones that blend in with the trees. those are cool looking.

Thanks for the report, glad you are getting out after the injury. Did you take the PCT to the Deer Springs Trail to get to Suicide Rock, or is there a way to cut the corner and descend directly from the PCT??? If not, did you get a look at that area and does it look like cross country travel is poss...

Did you go to the actual summit or was this an official NHPS outing??
Looks like fun!

Russell East Ridge??????????

I have no real interest in winter climbing

We need to work on that.

What do you think cougar magic??? Mom and kids??? 3 siblings?? Probably looking for big horn sheep up in those rocky drainage's.
