Hmmm.... two out of your top five are towns in Michigan. What do you
have against Hell? Ok, the skiing is kinda lame, but the kayaking is
pretty good.



What are you talking about? Hell Michigan is close to Mt. Holly. One
of my favorite ski areas.


Hell is a lot closer to Mt Trashmore than Mt Holly...only about six
miles or so.

"Mt Trashmore - the closest lift-served skiing to Hell" has a nice
ring, don't you think?

Sure beats Texas. Asshole of the planet. Anytime I watch the John
Wayne movie, The Alamo, I always wonder what kind of assholes would
fight for Texas.


Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares.

Hmmmmm. Look out window. See mountains that run 5,000 feet higher
than anything in Michigan. Lots of water before the mountains. 67
degrees and sunny.
You're right, Horvie. None of you freaks should come to Seattle. Bob
the Bitch should leave Seattle. So should Wack Job Waldron. We need
a freak free zone here.....and no worries about YOU showing up.
Time to brew some Starbuck's French Roast, the darkest of the dark.
Yummie. Man, I sure wish I was in Detroit where these damn mountains
didn't block the view.


You look outside and see rain. You can't see the mountains because
the trailer park blocks the view. I look outside and see a pond with
Canadian geese. I drive a short distance and go sailing on one of the
Earth's Great Lakes. Sucks to be you.

Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares.

Happy to show you the view of the Olympics,
ppppppppppuuuuuuusssssssyyyyyyy. Just show up the way you have
threatened to do. Of course, you might have a hard time seeing the

You **** geese? I knew you were a freak, Hovie, but that's sick.

You are mistaking Tacoma with Seattle.


Teddy, Teddy. Your mistaking your delusions for reality again.
Compared to Detroit, Tacoma is a shining city on the hill.....not to
mention some damn fine skiing 90 minutes away.

*If you look at median housing
prices between your area and Seattle, you will find plenty of people
wanting to stay in Seattle. *They just want a couple weeks in Hawaii to
recharge the batteries, or some time in La Grave to make this obski.


I don't know a single person who wants to go to La Grave, you
pretentious dumb****.
You should want a couple minutes at Lower Woodland, specifically the
tennis courts. Imagine how that would recharge MY batteries.

My guess is that the median housing prices are double than those in
Southern Michigan, given the Midwest is about half the median housing
price as Seattle and other West Coast cities.


Guess again. More like four times the cost. People have been fleeing
Detroit like Horvie flees from accountability.
Or come to think of it, like you flee from being responsible for your
lies. Contact info, dumb****?

Even the coffee sucks.


It depends. Starbucks coffee isn't that great because the beans are just
old. *However, there are plenty of good cafes and good grinded coffee at
the right price. *


Oh, please. Wack Job Waldron the coffee expert? Show the post, Teddy.

Must be a matter of taste and circumstance. I've been in them on the
mountain. Hunkered down and waited for them to pass. The worst bits
usually come in gusts.



I don't know if it is a matter of taste as much as a matter of
circumstances. a weak storm down in the valley can be quite ferocious
at alpine and above.

I have been in a situation where after hunkering down in a snow cave
for three days, waiting for a break in a storm that seems never ending,
that we have to rope up, basically slowly ski with the lead going by
compass, and there is no point in trying to talk because the winds are
so powerful and noisy. It is very difficult to even tell up and down at
times. It is basically a life or death situation... The lack of
visibility was scary enough, but the hurricane force winds were truly
frightening. The truly saving grace was descending, If I had to climb
a ridge, there is no way I would be here.


I hope you held on tightly to your emergency rum flask. If you had
dropped it you would have been in serious trouble.

I can think of a couple places in Montana that can take 24-48 hours to
get to during the winter, like around the Absarokas....


With a snowmobile you can be there in a few hours.


snarf! um, you need to try that in the Absarokas and see how you far
can get, they don't have it labelled "Froze to death" plateau next to
Granite Peak, because they are a bunch of wimps, and they probably have
a bunch of yahoo snowmobilers lying around the area with their rusted
machines.


I guess those Montanans are real wimps.

There are plenty of areas in the North Cascades and North Central to
North Eastern Washington State that are difficult to approach via
snowmobile, given that glaciers aren't exactly snowmobile friendly, with
their open and hidden crevasses.


That's why the smart people go around them.

There are places
in the U.P. that have no roads, no trails, no paths. And the nearest
commercial airport is Lansing.


There are a couple states like Idaho and Montana that are liked that.
They just have one cow path, or for the really isolated parts, one path
for the Grizzlies.


Grizzlies? Cows? There are none of those in the U.P. No bears, no
wolves, maybe a few deer or a moose.

My camelback was full of coconut rum to maintain my glycogen levels.
However the Whiteout and my sense of direction continue would for two more
days after the weather calmed down.

The rum flask had Venezuelan Rum in it, to appease my socialist heart if I
was really in tough bind.

In reality, I may had some water with some crystal light in it.
