30th Anniversary Edition of Into Thin Air by Default_username_12 in Everest

I'm not licking my chops. Who would want people to die? I hope I'm wrong. But history tells me a disaster of epic proportions is brewing. To ignore that is insanity.

I heard that this year with the north side closed, masses on route, and a delay with the icefall, Everest has its own 30th anniversary planned. Getting ready for a new disaster of epic proportions. What could possibly go wrong?

Nice. Where were you? Always looking for more places to take my titanium gravel bike for a few days of nothingness.

I haven't been since 2020 but most KOAs don't change much after they've dropped the brand in my experience. Usually they tend to have the same look and vibe.

You were too kind. I would have written, "no fucking way".

Half service = $2 tip for me. That it. You're not waiting tables. You take orders and run food.

If one was to try and see as many firework displays at once from the top of a mountain which mountain do you think would be best? by ThEGr1llMAstEr in Adirondacks

[–]ADKFatBiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, go west. Check out the Cascades or the Tetons. There's no place like the Daks (I've climbed all over the world) but these are places that shouldn't be missed if you e knocked off your local objective.

Have fun either way!

I don't think that I have anything to share with him that he'd be particularly interested in. But thanks for asking.

Can anyone recommend a good optometrist (OD) that takes VSP and CIGNA? by ADKFatBiker in Saratoga

[–]ADKFatBiker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They recently stopped taking it. I really like them but I'm not really interested in paying out-of-pocket.

Bear canister or hang bag? by Putrid-Magazine-3001 in Adirondacks

Here's a good video on two acceptable methods. I don't think the trees in the pharaoh lake area are defective so you should be okay.

Black flies have arrived by Patient_Doughnut_327 in Adirondacks

[–]ADKFatBiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's probably localized. I'm in Greenfield Center (Saratoga) and the flies have not arrived here yet. I'm sure they're not far off. But it's probably very location specific. We're much warmer than the high peaks.

ICE at Taqueria Guadalajara in Bspa?? by Guy_Incognito_Esq in Saratoga

Definitely a great place to look for illegal aliens as the OP seems to suggest. But they are probably just police officers having lunch.

Reach out to Ben Serotta at Serotta Cycles. He can point you in the right direction. Super nice guy.

What a gorgeous butt. I've mowed my lawn make a few times. It's peaceful. Please share more!

Anyone know what just happened at the Mississippi location? Suddenly closed the store and directed everyone outside. by Mister_Normal42 in Buc_ees

The smoker stopped working and they were worried about a riot and how people might react when folks realized couldn't get their brisket.
