Aww, thanx, I try

Nice! those bears, and the forest, look really pretty. I hope they dont f*%k everything up with the stupid pipeline

bushwhacking sucks, especially when you have to do it on the ground, pushing and pulling packs. YUCK! getting to know each other better on this suckventure and not on a walk on the beach during sunset is quite... unromantic, but hey, you can't count on romance to save your arse when you're out rapp...

im never sure where I might go til i get out. or what time ill be back, and I have no friends or family out here so Id have no one to give this form to anyways...I guess im just screwed if i ever get hurt.

the ones I like require a 4x4 to get to the trail, or more gear than I think you n I have....So, when i get there, we'll need to steal a truck and then rob rei 8)

Where we going next time!?
I know you sent me a link of a bunch of canyons on FB chat, but I didnt
bookmark it

Yeah, i dunno if tecnu woulda worked since we were out there 9 HOURS , 11 from time of exposure to hotel shower, and it had rubbed into previous cuts from the yucca n stuff...anyways, like i already posted, Its no problem really as long as I take antihistamine the next day.

Peeved?? lol, thats an understatement, for me anyways, I was scared at a few points, but managed to keep it under control n just keep moving forward, mostly on my own, a couple times with help and patience by Ryan, at least we both never freaked out at the same time! lol. Yeah, it was crazy, especia...

LOL. no dude, REALLY, they dont have breakfast! they dont even OPEN til lunch time, noon, they ONLY have lunch n dinner. I dont know where u ate hashbrowns but it wasnt baldy lodges restrauant. they have steaks n burgers n hotwings n super yummy chocolate cake. No breakfast like foods at all. and th...

Oh, thats good. Norma must have bigger car...or shes really small, ha.

car camping is not an option for me. cars way to small n seats dont recline n there no real backseat, just sorta a seat-shaped shelf in back
Ha- i bet trying to sleep in the Prelude would be ridiculous, lol
id totally rather sleep outside.

i agree, definately dont want a chain motel up there. Im just saying that Baldy Lodge is the exact same price, and very nice n quaint with a fireplace n everything, the EXACT same price and a thousand times better. and it has character n all that too. but its not all run down. and were just there to...

Buckhorn's rooms are friggin' prison cells. All I do is sleep in them. There's a patio bar and restaurant right across the street. Ide hafta spend a LOTT of time getting drunk at that bar befor spending 100 bucks again on that awful place. its sooooooo gross. and baldy lodge is the same price and s...

hello Tom S! welcome. I like hiking n running alone too--the less other people on the trail the better, zero bein best....i dont understand the people who go out in "packs" , defeats the whole reason of going out imo. hope to not see ya out there! ha

Not UH! YOURE stupid!! stupid.

oh, no. i meant the same ones we got at rei when i was there a couple weeks ago

I got static rope

i also got other stuffs too, but its at tacos, oh! n i got gloves too!

Ok, i finally hafta ask...what the hell are you guys talking about when you say "beta"? i know its a greek alphabet letter, and computer info..and a lil fish-haha...and ive looked up the other meanings on wiki. but that just says its used in math and finance/risk management...i cant find a...

havent been down 'n up this week or last. Im just working on being faster. Im consistently getting under 9 min miles for my rim-trail runs of 6miles per day at 7000ft. I should be hitting 8min 20sec per mile in the next 2 or 3 weeks im hoping. when i hit that ill do the canyon again n see if that ca...

what was your time for that 18mi/8000ft? what elev. did you start at?

Sweet! (i wish i had sound on here...) makes me sad to see cars all dressed up with no place to go too :( luckily most of my car club friends are drivers who do a lot of track-days, not just hard parking. car people who cant drive are always jerks who dont know what theyre talking about. ---You REAL...

thats really pretty!

Ryan-can we go there!? or is it something i cant/shouldnt do yet?...

how do you guys stay up so late?!? im totally done in, mentally and physically by 8pm, and sound asleep by 830. i fall apart if im up past 10pm. do you sleep til noon like taco? (i get up at 430am everyday, work 8hrs, then run 6-8 miles, shower, then eat all i can for 45 minutes, then pass the eff o...

omg! that was so FUN! my favorite part was when I ended up in a really bad position about 1/3 of the way down the last (or next to last?? whatever) rappell, and had to recall everything Taco had told me and then figure out how to get myself back on track. befor I could do that i had to make myself n...

I dont have any cool pics, ive never been injured Oh! i did trip the other day and ALMOST
fell hundereds of feet into the Canyon though,
I got a lil bruise on my hand and really dirty

...then again, since I can never find anyone else who trailruns, I honestly dont know if my times are good or average. I just got a subscription to trailrunner magazine, so ima see if they post other peoples times/distances/terrain/elevations. Then ill know
