I haven't been to a travel forum in a long time ” Well there certainly is a "take my trip, damnit" vibe that is much worse than what one would get on a hiking forum. Just like on TOS, travelers seek advice regarding their packing list. It's like reading a J Peterman catalog. I was surprised to the degree that folks relate their frequent flyer or airline status as though they're celebrity name dropping. People b*tch and and moan about airline service. They c…

Quote from TrafficJam: “I've been wondering...thought it was getting close. Have a great time. ” Oh, I intend to! Reservations long ago made, tickets bought and everything is paid for. So now just counting down the days. Now y'all thought the "hike my hike, damnit!" types were bad... They're tame compared to travel forum posters

Peanuts and peanut butter is one of the most all around nutrient complete foods, and it make no sense to squeeze nearly all of those nutrients out... why? ” weight? ” Bollocks! And just plain silliness. We're not talking of a food product with a significant moisture content, in which it makes sense to remove for both reduced weight and preservation. Powdered peanut bu…

As some may recall through the years I've talked about the wrens that come to the shop an build a nest each year. This has been going for more than six years now. And this year was no different. At the end of April the nest was built and eggs laid by the first of May and five babies hatched by the 16th. They'd be leaving the nest by June 1.

Three of us left camp in the area of Seely-Woodsworth Shelter and were heading to Cow Camp Gap for the night. A few miles up the trail I was a couple hundred yards ahead of my two buddies and when I got to Wolf Rocks I thought it was a perfect spot to wait for them to catch …
