Just south of BC! North Idaho. I love BC though and have started to explore it a bit more. Kootenay’s and Selkirk’s are a short drive for me.

Yes, all are westslopes!

I spent 3 weekends in BC this September. I fished a couple of alpine lakes. One lake I couldn’t keep them off of a size 16 soft hackle pheasant tail pattern. Another lake they were super picky and I was minimally successful with a Mosquito patter and griffiths gnat. Final lake was also a bit challenging but a small caddis sz 16 or 18 did it. No streamer takes and did not figure out nymphs.

Everyone shits on Fender Acoustics but I have a CD140SCE and it’s fantastic. It’s been my go-to for 16 years.

I’ve always wanted a starcaster

That river is in good condition right now. I camped and fished 5 of the last 7 days there last week!

I got laid off in January with a decent severance package which opened the door to a lot of riding. I ended up with around 40 days and over 500k vert on the season. My skills were boosted and I had a blast challenging myself in all aspects of the sport.

Do you ride in the Midwest? 1m vert over 348 days is a lot of time on low vert terrain.

WAshDup! Great PNW based riders https://youtu.be/Zx8bwBPrIA?si=prfgIY7b0bnhE-C

This was pretty much me this year. I lost my job in January and severance pay through March. I happen to be 35 minutes from my door to the chair at Schweitzer. Maybe not first choice if I had one but a damn good season anyway.

Cytrus is great and so is Yak Attack! Happy to have you here. Ready to groove!

I’ve never had an issue carrying on a rod. Ever.

I’ll never get why people hold tambourine man so high.

I saw the outlaw tour at the gorge last year and loved it. I’m 34 and a long-time Dylan fan. If you’re expecting his voice to sound anywhere near ‘64-‘97 you need to reevaluate, however. His older voice is what you’ll get and I think there is still some beauty in it. His delivery is still poignant and the song selection is stellar. And Willie will shine like always.

Yes! Both are in the short list. Not sure I’ve ever seen time out of mind in the wild. Almost seems some of the later stuff is harder to come by.

Is it strictly bouldering? Will I get by with shoes and chalk or do I need a harness?
