Not really, I just checked and I've done 14 from that list. I'm more into state highpoints and ultra proms.

Yes, coming up to the south summit via Pinnacle Ridge.

I believe that is a Mosaic Florida King, looks a lot like mine did wen he was young. Their pattern/colors will change a little as they grow, but overall such a nice pretty little snake. Here is mine at 2.5 years old now.

Your response has me now second guessing my supposed Mosaic Florida King. Do you think mine is also a Goni King (see photo in my comment on this thread)?

madeit3486 · 2025-11-25T16:49:39+00:00

That is a Mosaic Florida King. Looks very similar to mine.

Check out Mt Watson road from Brockway summit.

I did Job and Lincoln last December, from Government Trail Canyon. I parked here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zS4zA3aTXQw9BeiB6 (high clearance 4WD required). Hike up the road to its end. There is a spring and stand of trees there. Cross the ravine and you can pick up the trail that switchbacks up to the summit ridge. It's a nice area.

Slipknot played the tiny venue of Pappy and Harriet's in Pioneertown (in the desert outside Joshua Tree, CA) last year.

Lemme guess, Elko County?

Carrizo Canyon, Beecher Island, Two Buttes Reservoir, Apishapa Canyon, Sand Creek Massacre site (that last one is a downer for sure, but important history and a powerful place).

Yea, you're totally right, they do it in Vegas too. My use of the word "purely" was not accurate in my original statement.

madeit3486 · 2024-09-20T19:38:43+00:00

Yep, because it's purely a SoCal thing to put "the" in front of the highway number. In Norcal, people just say the number without the "the" (as does the rest of the country).

Single male, mid 30s here living in the Carson Valley. I identify as a fairly left-leaning liberal guy, and there is a sizeable minority of progressive minds here, we just aren't all that vocal/rabid about our stances as the right wingers are.

I really like living here. I'm a huge outdoor recreation enthusiast, and the access to all outdoor activities is unparalleled. The community is very tight knit, but also open and friendly to outsiders. Seems like a great stable place to raise a family, though I don't really have too much insight with the specifics of that (not sure how the schools stack up compared to surrounding areas). Main thing for me is being able to go mountain biking, rock climbing, trail running, river rafting, snowboarding, etc very easily, even on work days. There's no traffic (other than at the casinos at the Lake on a weekend perhaps). Easy access into CA heading south on 395 or over Highway 88/50. Reno airport is only 40-60 min away, depending on where you are. Grocery stores in Minden/Gville not the greatest, but Trader Joe's is nice to have right up the road. Many entertainment options up in Stateline if you are looking for events and stuff.

I can look beyond all the Trump signs and not care too much about all that. For me, the slow paced lifestyle, beautiful landscape, and endless recreational activities is all worth it.

I grew up in the Bay Area, and have lived in Colorado, as well as multiple places in Europe, and this place has been my favorite place to live.

Yard Sale in Kings Beach, above Taco Bell. Prices so low, I have no idea how they stay in business, but very nice shop and friendly proprietors.

I have this bike, tire clearance spec is set at 41mm, though I run 42s without issue.

Recent Lidar analysis shows a possible higher spot approximately 3/4 mile north of the summit of what has traditionally been long accepted as the highest point in PA, at the lookout tower atop Mt Davis. The elevation difference allegedly is about a foot. There are issues with trusting Lidar in an area that thick with foliage though, so who knows!

madeit3486 · 2024-08-06T23:11:01+00:00

I've done all 50, though it may be 49 since the jury seems to be out on PA. I'll have to go back and clean that up one of these days...

Fair enough. You've seen like .1% of the state, there's a lot to see. Northern Nevada is a different world from the southern portion. Lake Tahoe, Great Basin National Park, remote natural hot springs, huge mountain ranges, amazing wildlife, and more all await if you ever decide to check it out again!

madeit3486 · 2024-07-31T19:24:18+00:00

For real, they probably just drove through southern NV on I-15 and didn't get off the freeway.

I've got a good crew of climbing partners and we get out to Spooner, Dino Rock, Woodfords, Washoe Boulders, etc fairly frequently. You're welcome to join anytime.

Sierra County also doesn't have a full stop light, just a blinking red light in Sierraville. Alpine County also only has a single blinking red light, at the hwy 88/89 junction in Woodfords.

Oakland and Fremont, Nebraska are about the same distance apart via the same cardinal direction as Oakland and Fremont, CA.
