  • Quote from twistwrist: “Hey y'all! My plans are coming together for a hike in July of 2018! As much as I'm hoping hoping hoping to land a JMT permit, I'm trying also to consider the fact that I may not get lucky. Regardless, I want to hike a beautiful trail out west somewhere...one approximately 200 miles long, give or take 50 miles. What other trails would you recommend of the JMT doesn't work out for me? ” Part of the Idaho centennial trail

    Quote from TrafficJam: “My kids shocked me on Mother's Day. They banded together and bought me a stand mixer. My first creation was chocolate croissants. It was a complicated, two-day process but the results were spectacular. It required folding and rolling the dough, with a layer of chilled butter in the center. This was repeated multiple times to create the flaky layers. It gave me some ideas about biscuit-making. ” Looks very nice. One of the harder items to make from scratch. It's almost imp…

    Quote from PaulMags: “Quote from Blue Jay La Fey: “Amazon and it's minions are trying to kill all retail. There is a strong chance that they will be successful, but we're not robots yet. ” REI and Dick's are both successful. B&M stores still have their place. They just have to reinvent themselves. REI sold the lifestyle rather well: - Coffee shops in some stores - Community rooms for local groups - Many talks - Classes (I am taking my NOLS WFA class there in two weeks for example) - Repair shops…

    Quote from Foresight: “You are correct. And, like most, you would say "WTF does it matter???", but the lack of relief actually makes the topo work that much more necessary. Drainage is the reason. In most areas a 1% slope is a piece of cake to accomplish and even greater slopes are the norm.

Got back in the car an went home and got back at 7:30 pm. What were we thinking? This was her first experience at Grayson. We w…

So if a guy had made identical claims, based on past posts in here, you guys would have accepted his claims. The alleged problem occurred because a woman made the claim. ” Evidence your wrong about us being sexist with record attempts Anish announces FKT attempt There is also support on this site for Jennifer Pharr Davis.
