Useful things to do in the wilderness (dialup warning)

[jpgray]

Keep a positive attitude even as the icy, disembodied hand of mortality is on your shoulder.



Erect a comparatively cheerless pinata for wandering bears.



Document sardonically incontinent woodfowl.



On the third day, assume a trail will reappear after it has petered out, despite hoped-for trail being in no place marked on the -map-.



Cut across seven miles of an Inferno-grade series of hellscapes for 11 hours to return at last to a known trail and make your escape.

1. Day 4: hit bar?

[jpgray]

3. Yes! But that was day 5

We were awarded the last hotel room in all of Silverton CO, because the owner's daughter also drinks black russians.

2. great tutorial!

welcome back

[jpgray]

5. Thanks!

And your sig pic reminds me... I rolled a -perfect- cigarette yesterday. Perfect! It was truly a miraculous thing as I am usually worthless in the rolling department. The "impress your romantic interest" gods must have been smiling on me that day.

19. Oh, I've had trips like that

:scared:

[jpgray]

20. Hmm. What are you implying?

Happy "trails," man!

[XemaSab]

21. Well, I was specifically thinking

of times when I've been backpacking and gotten lost, or had to go boonie-crashing for work, or been hit on the head with the anchor for a bear bag, or had to climb over enormous deadfalls, but come to think of it, taking hallucinogens is pretty fun too. :D

[jpgray]

22. Yeah, I figured

I just posted that so ChavezSpeakstheTruth will think I'm cool.
