Let me go on record as saying that I think all hikes are dog-friendly hikes. Dogs are good under all circumstances. I love it when people bring big rowdy dogs on a hike. Nothing better than a big old scruffy jumping around.
Dogs good. Big dogs better.

Oh, jeez. Is that "T" for "trail"? I wonder if you put up a big "W", if people would assume it was the "wrong way" and be lost? Where did you see this thing?
Our tax dollars at work.

You're crazy, Pete! But I like it!

It still is!
Problem is, there's usually either some bozo doing 2 MPH in front of you, or some other bozo riding your tail wanting to do 90.

In response to Nighthiker's reply: Wow! That sounds like something you'd see on Wild Kingdom or something. You must be very good at keeping yourself hidden, or else the herd has gotten used to you, for you to get such a terrific view. How do you do it? Whenever I encounter a herd of deer I always t...

OK, I just got through reading the "flumes" thread - jeez, people! I did notice, though, that there were a couple of comments in Spanish, which I can't read. At the risk of enhancing my reputation as a "grumpy ol' folk" as kindly revealed in the "kick back" thread, I'd ...

What did I do to deserve that??

If you're going to have a lot of people, La Barge would be a better choice. More camp sites. The camping areas at Charlebois have been planted with cactus by our friends at G&F. Having just been there last weekend, I can say I didn't see all these supposed cactus that I had heard were planted, ...

No - you're in time out. Sit there and be quiet. If you get up again you'll go to bed without any dessert.

If all else fails, going solo isn't bad. That's how I hike most of the time, and that's when I get most of my serious thinking done. At least, what passes for serious thinking for me.

So what you're saying is: "Can't we all just get along"? Seriously, you're dead on target, Olesma, and I couldn't agree more. I try to be careful about that stuff, and if I've ever dissed anyone's opinion on this forum, I don't recall it. I figure most people are smarter than me anyway (I ...

You missed Steve Morse, John McLaughlin, and the MAN: JIMI!Haven't heard much from Blackmore recently.

No way!
No amount of Tabatha's or wicked mothers can match that Jeannie costume!
I vote Jeannie!

And with that, he threw himself over the edge and plunged to his death below. Meanwhile, the young man fainted "dead way" and fell back toward the "non-edge" side and was saved. I admit that I am dense sometimes. For me, that story had the dual benefits of being obscure AND conf...

Well, cheer up! I don't feel that way. Unless you guys decide you want me to take a hike (get it?? take a... never mind), I'm sticking around.

Bell, If you haven't been there before, I'd think twice before going to Peters Canyon for your introductory one-nighter. Unless you're a pain seeker. That is one miserable boulder-strewn tough canyon. (But beautiful!) Some of the easier places in the western part of the range might be more fun as an...

That's exactly what I think about people in general.
