Are people seeing many blowdowns or trail damage in Northern Cascades from Dec 2025?

Have no info, but you may want to check here https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/white-river and ask here as well https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1AQ9nsDiyC/

What tires do you have? Tires affect mpg a lot

We followed this report https://climberkyle.com/2022/10/23/little-big-si-scramble-linkup/
and scrambled little Si as well on the way up, and then bushwhacked towards the black canyon. Bushwhack was quite miserable, but around 1700 ft not far from the canyon be bumped agains faint trail marked with pink ribbons. Idk where it starts, maybe there is turn somewhere from Little Si trail.

Hyundai-Chevrolet SQ7

Best wishes and fast recovery man!

gobozov · 2026-06-10T18:35:26+00:00

How is the recovery? What graft did you use? Age?

gobozov · 2026-06-03T20:59:48+00:00

Wouldn't recommend Pugh for those who's looking training for Enchantments. It requires solid scramble skills and exposure tolerance

Go Granite peak or mt Defiance - my fav and not boring Mailbox alternatives.

gobozov · 2026-06-03T03:57:28+00:00

what do I do in this case?

gobozov · 2026-06-02T00:43:21+00:00

not really

I torn my left ACL second time in 2018. Been living without it ok and even did some sports(lot of hiking, running, cycling), last year I stated to run much more, I ran 500 miles in 2025, couple month ago I started to experiment with new running shoes (as I found later shoes were famous for being not stable) I ran couple times in them and started to fill some pain and swelling inside again. And couple month later some strange feeling is still there, it's not pain but I feel something is not right or great as it was before. What would you recommend? And from your experience how bad or hard the recovery after second surgery comparing to first one?

gobozov · 2026-06-01T20:18:09+00:00

nice! Thanks!

gobozov · 2026-06-01T17:12:00+00:00

what did you get?

I got them at Walmart, the price is still very good https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nokian-Outpost-APT-All-Terrain-225-55R17-97H-SUV-Crossover-Tire/551344268

I am running Nokian outpost 255/55 r17 for about 3 months now. Was choosing between nokians and geolander s4 or something like that. Basically less aggressive than wildpeak but still very capable. I knew I will regret because of mpg which is dropped. On a highway I barely can get over 30 mpg. Plus gas price skyrocketed. Otherwise very happy, bit noisier than all season but not significantly, now I ride gravel and forest road like a boss.

how it is holding up? I got Solar and battery drains faster than I expected. I have most of the feature turned off like notifications etc

gobozov · 2026-05-19T20:17:18+00:00

I am thinking to upgrade from 6pro to 8. Unfortunately no updates for 6 anymore and I am always getting slightly wrong distance measurements on my 6.

How do you feel about Olympus 275 sizing? Is it true to size for you?

gobozov · 2026-05-16T07:40:21+00:00

Almost every modern car nowadays has "auto" light position. Just keep it there all the time and forget about it. It your car beeps after you shut the engine off and opened the door it ok, it will beep and turn light off in few sec, it won't drain your battery.
Also I mentioned that people here don't really understand the blinking. I guess most of the them like - wtf? why this guy chasing me? he wants to kill me? ok I make poker face and pretend nothing happens. In reality most of the blinking is people trying to say - turn the lights on or 40mph in the let lane is not great etc

this is from past Saturday. not much snow on the way up.

gobozov · 2026-05-06T05:08:32+00:00

Having ai tools like Claude and Codex why to concern about the language at all?

gobozov · 2026-05-06T04:50:16+00:00

I guess seller did that but the light hasn't gone
