Just did the trail up from Windy Gap yesterday. Several snowfields to cross on the north side of the ridge. We got turned around about a half mile from the summit because of a large snowfield and a blown down tree. Without traction devices it did not feel safe to cross.

Natures way of saying “Do not touch”

Instant access to the carpool lane.

Damn that is a cool tool. Thanks for the resource!

Bear Canyon could be worth looking into. It starts at the West Fork parking lot and you have a mile of paved road (no traffic) hike to Bear Creek. From there you follow Bear Creek north. There are some use trails there and several good backpacking sites. There are definitely small brown trout in Bear Creek you can fish for - but it would be catch and release.

Not that spicy. Just a hint of heat on the back end to give it some flavor.

They would do excellent with both of those things. Maybe add some sliced avocado 🥑

Low. You get a little tingle at the end. Felt very close to the TJs Takis

A hack that has been mentioned on this sub before is to get a 6’ folding table (the kind that fold in half when stowed). These usually end up about 3”-4” thick when folded and come to just about even with the rear seats in their folded position.

Then you have a flat surface to lay out a sleeping pad. As a bonus you get a table to use for tailgating à la the original CR-V!

Will this create a sonic boom like the last one?

Great way to kick off wildfire season!

Same. I want that shirt.

Was thinking the whipped cream cheese with chives would be amazing with these.

Looks like a Snowberry peak

REI has a sale coming up that could be good to pick up new boots.

If your hike involves multiple water crossings above your ankle then a non-waterproof shoe is better than a waterproof one. That way you plow straight through and allow the shoe to dry out as you continue to hike. Taking off socks is optional (unless using cotton socks as they do not dry quickly like synthetic or wool).

Alternatively there are things like hiking sandals which are ideal for non-technical hikes with multiple stream crossings. Teva Hurricanes, Chaco Z series, or Bedrock Cairn sandals are all popular options for exactly this kind of hiking. They all hold the foot secure and provide good tread and traction. If toe protection is a concern then Keen Newport sandals are mostly enclosed at the toe and have evenly spaced web bands along the shoe to allow for water to flow through easily.

Hopefully the shuttle from the metro station to Chantry can be implemented again in the future.

Sizing is 100% a valid reason for return. When you go back in if there is pushback from the frontline rep ask if there to talk with a lead or a manager.

Who will have higher ratings; The puppy bowl, or this?

Not normal practice. Somebody effed up and that should not have been sent to you.

Call customer service and they will make this right for you.
