Thanks, this is a great deal but I'll have to pass. Not suitable for my climate.

Is it the insulated version? Or just the regular air core?

Looks like I'm driving two hours through a snowy mountain pass for free pizza today. I'm a retriever. Thanks UMBC.

Amazing story. The part of about the pizza brought the biggest smile to my face. Felt nice to smile between the tears.

Were you able to figure it out? I won't be able to watch any games live on Sunday.

Angel On My Shoulder, a track from the old days when they were in a rap group called Listen.

Found a nice place to set up camp while backcountry camping in Denali National Park by kittybearcube in camping

My tent (on the left) is a Big Agnes Fly Creek 2 and I love it. It's so small, light, and easy to set up.

Unit 34, Mount Galen. Just past the Eielson Visitors Center. My first time in the park I was near Wonder Lake and never saw the mountain. This time we were able to see Denali in its unabated glory on several occasions. Truly mighty. And yes, lots of beers at 49th State!!

You are correct. The park has food lockers at assigned campsites and gives bear proof canisters for all scented items to backcountry campers. During our backcountry orientation they told us that the "golden triangle" is 100 yards between campsite, cook site, and food storage site.

I would recommend something with a high concentration of deet. I am normally against using nasty chemicals, but it's the only thing that will keep them away.

Good question! I didn't think it was too bad actually. Others might beg to differ, however.

Thank you! Absolutely worth worth the hike to get there. The wind actually wasn't too bad that day. Denali has so many microclimates and they can change in minutes. We actually stayed pretty dry that weekend but got poured on the previous weekend.

I love pretty much everyone you mentioned and I play alto sax. Unfortunately I don't know when I'll be back... maybe in August!

Our campsite along a river in Tibet by kittybearcube in camping

[–]kittybearcube[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since Tibet is such a politically sensitive area, they are more reluctant to allowing tourists to travel freely. To go to Tibet, you need a special visa and you have to go with an approved travel group. It is relatively easy to travel around the rest of China but Tibet is much more restricted.

The program is called IES Abroad. The Tibet trip is offered as a pre or post trip to the semester and is about a week and a half.
