EISPIRATEN

i dunno Jim, the place i work on the 5th n 6th floors of the Ahwahnee, are 1200 dollar a night rooms, I doubt many cubicle workers stay here.....its the people who own the cubicle workers who have money...cubicle workers only have shattered dreams and ulcers :lol: --seriously though, I know what you...

Yeah, living at the Grand Canyon was pretty cool, living at Yosemite is very VERY cool!! Im pretty lucky

Heres some more Yosemite pics! Deer and Rock again! :) another "new to Me running trail :) https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/photobucket/i297/albums/mm232/torrey037/el%20cap%20run%20july%202012/Yosemiteruntoelcap7-11-12002.jpg My apt/dormroom is in those trees right out there across the me...

i dont like those either. They are trying to get rid of non native things. Maybe nps or someone can remove em.

Hello! I dont live in the Grand Canyon anymore, now I live in Yosemite Natl' Park next to the Ahwahnee Hotel right between Half Dome and Glacier Point. I went from my apt there in yosemite valley, up to Sunrise Camp on the 18th. Its 15.3 mi from my house. so a lil over 30 mi roundtrip that day :) he...

I just posted 3 Baldy trips in Trip Reports this week. Maybe theyll help, i have Garmin links in em to show the same rout yer talking bout taking. In my opinion, the Ski Hut seems to be the normal rout. Its ok i thought, devils backbone is ajght too, but, if you are in good shape and really want A f...

Ah! good point. And i guess since itsa really small town it'd be fine (quiet i mean) Its not like yer 1.6 mi from downtown i suppose. And the lodge has rootbeer floats! theyre really good :D *also, On both Sunday and Tuesday I drank right out of the creek there and have no issues. its good water.......

Hellos! Today i went to the top of mt baldy for the 3rd time this week, Wednesday i took skihut to top to devils backbone to dirt road n down to san antonio falls to car, did the same route on saturday, and now the longer but nicer way today. I started at the Mt Baldy trail in the village again toda...

It all depends on what youre used to. Im from the desert, so i dont consider it to be pretty hot til its over bout 103, thats my limit, anything over that and my brain feels funny. But i can run all day in 80s n 90s no prob Jim-The camping places look nice, ide stay there. theres water, not oodles o...

yeah it really pretty there. Im gonna go to the top today. ill maybe take some more pics

its like that on skihut higher up too! trails everywhere! my first time up there Wednesday i was like WTF? which is the real trail....shit wanders all over, I just tried to stay on the one with the most footprints

Decided to just go for a walk Sunday' n keep busy while Ryan was out doin death defying Taco-stuff... I started in the baldy village where the trail towards Bear Flats starts at the end of the road there past the church. I started up about 130pm and went up about 4 miles (3.78 i think, watevr) it wa...

Ha! knocked off 11 minutes now that i know where im goin, took me 1.42 to summit on saturday , faster than the first time i posted here on wednesday :D the whole loop was 2.52 , i dunno if thats good, any other trailrunners on here lemme know what you get (adan/longcut, noman? wats yer times fo this...

i dont have your email anymore. i texted you my #

OK. i can do 0800-ish.

(ima go up there Saturday morning too, if that works better for u guys, but just do the short loop to top again 8.7miles)

Longcut...yeah, but you can sleep in a lot...head up at noon or even 1pm n make it back. Hell, i started from san antonio falls tha other day after 4pm, got to the summit befor 6pm, and ran down in half the time, was back at car by 715pm.....and the way i was gonna go sunday is only like 3-4 miles m...

Im'a go that way on Sunday if anyone else wantsta go too i have no time set , so whenever. Ide like to start earlier than i did when i went up ski hut and down Devils backbone the other day, i didnt start til like 4pm then. maybe start this route at like 10 or something...

Ya, i like the garmin alot...and i havent even figured out half of what all it can do. Itsa good toy!

Finally I am in W. Covina long enough to go up mt baldy! it was fun, ive never been up there. I started timing at san antonio falls where the pavement ends, went to ski hut tr. ...passed a lil green house at .45 minutes (i just walked that whole part, to rocky in most spots...jogged where i could......

hmmmm, it only lets me cut and paste a link.....how do i make it show as a picture like you guys do? as opposed to a link to the picture? A snap-shot of the page i mean. *speed is so random (stop n go) and so erratic due to constantly messin with the new garmin, Im still figuring out how to work it ...

ok, I T think I have it figured out now, ima try it again after my run today, thanx

WHO owns one here? I have one, brand new, sooo.... How do I make it put the trails I ran onto the computer? I am having difficulty figuring it out, the Garmin sight doesnt explain it in my language, which is English....not computer ...I got on thier website, signed up, plugged the garmin into my PC ...

Yea, Im real excited to be going there! everyones told me its a great Hotel. And the location looks cool. Ive never been to Yosemite. * @ Mike p--and as to the NPS thing, Ijust found out that here at the Canyon, theres a training center for newbie NPS peeps, so maybe thats why ive come across a lot ...

Ill be living in the park, just like I do here at the Grand Canyon. And I'll be a housekeeper still, just like here. I think for NPS you need college or somethin....or maybe not, most of the NPS people ive talked to sure dont seem college educated, they actually seem kinda 'tarded n ignorant. Anywho...

AW- the public isnt an issue really, Ive learned that once I get even as little as 1-2 miles from trailheads, i hardly see any tourists....And once im 5 miles out, im pretty much alone, Its why i love running, It gets me away from all the average people in just 15minutes or so :D as to canyoneering,...

So, there will be no more boring old pix of the Grand Canyon, as I got hired at Yosemite and start there in June! Once I get there, i will be sure to post too many pix of trails, bears, and rock climbing trips 8)

Yep. --if I move to that other national park next month, we wont go climb Zoroaster...we'll have ta just climb whatever rocks they have out there at Yosemite 8)

Donate the gear to the admin of this forum.. he needs a good winter sleeping-bag....he would probably also like a hatchet 'n the whiskey 8)

Ran down the canyon...again (14th time in 11 months! lol) but only to the river, 9miles....left at 7am, got there befor 9am... I took lemonade, a sammich and some smoked oysters for my brunch. and some walnuts ... Anyways, I took Bright Angel trail this time since its hotter out now (the BA offers m...
