I think so, too, but they may want to know the general area and how many people/days, that sort of thing

And, please, let tanakason3 get some coordination soon

Took tanakadtr down first, she ripped it. pointed skis down and even though she wanted me to hold her hand, we went fast, all the way down, no problem (granted the kiddie run is only maybe 200 yds)

boychild wiped out getting off the lift, I had to hold him up most of the way down, arms flailing, then we wiped out near the bottom, ski coming off and all If I would have had someone to sit with him I would have taken her more. :shrug:

I might drag hubby skiing when he comes in a few weeks. boychild and him can sit in the lodge while girlchild and me ski

Happened to me once on the GMC.

When I put new shocks on my 100 I missed replacing one of the upper bushing plates, so it never got tight. It's blind up there at the top of the shock, you have to install the parts by feel and I must have missed the botl when I was putting the plate on.

Matt actually found the loose shock for me at TUTapalooza after I complained of the clunk.

I am so not competitive, the thought never even occured to me. The thought I did have at the end of the day is whew, going home with all my parts still in working order

Do you have another place picked out yet? You're still thinking of moving to the bay area, right?

Wildflower report. It didn't rain there as much as I thought this year.

just a nice view

not sure if you can tell by the pics but my first run, and probably the next 5 were on groomed runs that had NO other tracks yet

the monsters

and how the weather looked as I left, good weather forecast of "sunny"

That all just makes me go:

[Mars]

Camping is not allowed on the following "day use only" dirt roads: Titus Canyon Road, Mosaic Canyon Road, West Side Road, Wildrose Road. Skidoo Road, Aguereberry Point Road, Cottonwood Canyon Road (first 8 miles only,) Racetrack Road (from Teakettle Junction to Homestake Dry Camp.)

[Mars]

Drying winds, lack of recent rains, and much warmer temperatures have sped up the spring bloom. The vibrant displays of Desert Gold (Geraea canescens) north of Furnace Creek are nearing their peak. The next several weeks should have some good viewing opportunities. The best tool for identifying the flowers is the color brochure “Wildflowers of Death Valley National Park” sold in the Visitor Center bookstore. Park Rangers are providing wildflower walks several times a week. Dates and times can be found at:

[Mars]

By the way, I inspected my Chitalpa last night. It is, in fact, growing. Found some new buds starting to poke through.

Yeeehaw!!

Anybody in the desert area. This site rocks.

Yes, cause dumbshit nurse nitro forgot to write one of the directions down. Had the interstate number, did not write which direction to go though I have not been to Monarch in so long I had to call for reinforcements.


Thanks Stinky

Yep, skiing with your kids is a different sport than skiing.

I guess between that, and the cold, someone is trying to tell me I need to REST.

TUT is starting to get way to many things in common at random times. That makes 3 of us with knee issues right now
