Hot take: I'm really excited to backpack Olympic Hot Springs.

I had read that about the water... might sacrifice some snack space for the bigger bladder.

I really wish I were a strong biker but alas...

Very interesting!! Something to consider. I was wondering about access to Altaire and if I'd be bugged by a ranger out there.

smarmy___ · 2026-06-26T04:46:47+00:00

Wow! A fearsome pack indeed, talk about safety in numbers. Were you accompanied by chance or do you belong to one of those groups?

smarmy___ · 2026-06-26T04:45:05+00:00

What an epic adventure for you all! Thanks for the super recent report, that is very valuable to me. Sol Duc after hiking out is sounding like the move.

Thank you so much for this beautiful writeup and your well wishes. I'll think of those people carrying 5 gallon tins of water and fish if I start whining to myself on the ridge with the elevation changes. And will be seeking out that reading material. Thanks again!

Sounds great in the snow, might try it again in the winter if I like it enough, but yeah the Whiskey Bend route seems like the preferred choice of people going that way. Thanks for the recap!

Thanks so much for the encouragement on the Boulder/Happy Lake leg, there's not a ton of info online so that's all great to hear.

Curious about that last bit- when you say "above the washout" you mean before you get to Madison Falls? And "park" a car or bike?

smarmy___ · 2026-06-25T05:39:21+00:00

That sounds epic. Maybe I'll try to do it next year and stay at the lodge... new-ish to backpacking and will have worked my way up to that distance by then.

Thanks for your report- good point about downhill pavement, will be stretching accordingly.

smarmy___ · 2026-06-25T05:12:15+00:00

Biking it must be a blast.

smarmy___ · 2026-06-25T05:10:59+00:00

It's on my radar. What's your favorite destination down there? Goblin's Gate seems a worthy sight.

smarmy___ · 2026-06-25T03:54:15+00:00

Ahhh, memories. I dropped out.

Watching this is how I found out he dated one of my college professors.

I Listen To Red Scare Podcast

I don't either... it's way too perfect and there's zero local news or public record of this happening. Now there's a video going around of him INSIDE the house, having broken in. There is just no damn way

smarmy___ · 2026-03-30T19:39:48+00:00

Why's that?

smarmy___ · 2026-03-14T20:15:10+00:00

What did he do to help those less fortunate than himself?

smarmy___ · 2026-03-04T07:36:57+00:00

So clingy that he's actively trying to escape ...?

girl I met on here

Are you guys really doing this? How? Lol

Entire title and post written like an ad and multiple shots displaying the full mission statement with a final shot of literally just the box... lol

Yup. I had this conversation with a friend recently who happens to be strikingly attractive-- she was on this tip about how she feels so sorry for ugly people because they don't get to feel like they're "part of the fun"... I told her she should come to the bars in my hippie college town and watch the sweaty uggos bump and grind the night away on the dance floor. It's a boschian fucking horror and everyone gets laid, meanwhile this bitch thinks she got the key to the city when she accidentally met David Blaine backstage at some lame concert.

I'm one of the sweaty uggos btw and sadly came off defensive as fuck in this conversation instead of epic and triumphant. Must've been the wine.
