So I leave for the High Sierra trail on Saturday. 6 days of backpacking end with a hike up to Mt. Whitney.

Anyone ever been?
 
No but I want to do one of the toughest races in the world, if not thee toughest, in two years. The Barklay Marathon. 100 miles in under 60 hours. Only a couple handfuls of people have ever done it.

So is that what you're training for? Good luck man.
 
So, some of my plans changed last week and we didn't end up doing the HST. Permit issues and the conditions changed our trip.

Anyway, we still ended up summiting Mt. Whitney. Most gnarly thing I've ever accomplished in regards to the outdoors.

I'm kind of surprised this thread doesn't have more activity considering the access you guys have in Utahr.

My uncle and I are talking about tackling Mt. Timpanogos in September sometime. Never done it before, but he says he loves it.
 
my computer's very slow at the moment, but the dozen or so I looked at were interesting, it sure does look like rugged terrain. Course anything more than a flat, paved sidewalk looks like rugged terrain to me.
 
I just got back camping at Strawberry. Didn't do any hiking but went fly fishing out on the float tube. Did pretty well and caught 4 about 20 inches and one about 24 inches. Today was also the opening day of the Strawberry River. I went and fly fished that and caught about 100 fish. They were only 5 inches to about 12 inches, but it's pretty dang fun catching fish on every cast.

I loved the pictures. Made me yearn for a trip to the great out doors. I hadn't thought of going anywhere this summer, but screw it. I'm going somewhere. Nice thread, vinylone.

Thanks man. I don't know where you're at, but there are always spots to explore....
 
EDIT: I guess I won't be a dick.

Yeah, because you're a *****. Think of cat.

Archie, you're seriously one pathetic dude. You internalize so much and let things bother you so deeply than even when you want to make a comment, you can't because of the conflict that arises within you. You need to learn to stop letting things bother you so much...

It's not so much that I was bothered, it's that I was humored by how you look. Especially because of all the roasting you do, hack.

You're so predictable Archie. Of course it was about how I look. It could never be anything else. I'll clue you in on something though. See, I have a pretty small *****. I mean, it's frickin small bro. Once I got over the stigma of that, nothing else ever bothered me.

We're in the same boat, bro. It sucks, I know, but we'll live. :D hehepeepeecaca, right?
