I have been reading that they are extending the App trail down into Ala...Does anyone know if they will move the official start point once this is done..OR will it stay the same

I'm tired of this. Tax payers once again get stuck with the bill. Volunteers bust their ass because you have STUPID kids along with STUPID parents who apparently think that checking the forecast before going up 6,000ft isn't a priority. If they had they would have known snow level was coming down below the summit. Even if the forcast doesn't say freezing level there when you are going up this high you should have clothes to last a few days plus a tent and a way to make a fire.
Bunch of IDIOTS!
The Parents letting their kids go up there with what they had in equipment should pay for this rescue not us.
Enough is enough!


All 3 hikers safely off Snohomish County peak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRANITE FALLS -- A Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman says all three teens who found themselves stranded by bad weather on a Snohomish County peak are safely off Three Fingers Mountain.

Lt. Kathi Lang said that after one teen walked out Wednesday, the weather cleared sufficiently for a rescue helicopter to pluck the other two teens off the mountain in separate trips Wednesday evening. One of those two had hiked part-way down with rescuers. Lang said the third teen was suffering from back pain from a prior injury.

Lang said the three boys were "about 17." They are from the Marysville-Arlington area.

They called for help by cell phone Tuesday night after they encountered fog, snow, rain and cold on the 6,800-foot mountain.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said rescuers reached the teens Wednesday morning and started warming them with portable heaters in tents.

Things have cleared up here thanks to Barry.

[MB3]

That is really bad.Never been through that before!Enjoy your week!

[Deann]

Morning Chuckles.

It was bad here. When you walk outside and your nose burns you know to go right back inside.

Hopefully the winds keep coming from the East.

:)

[MB3]

Glad it cleared up for you! I saw that you are off this week.Lucky you!

[Deann]

Morning fellow hiker!

Another smoke free day here.

[MB3]

We all went up to Forrt Mountain.We were high enough not to be in the smoke but you sure could see it.We had a very nice day out.

[Deann]

Sounds good Chuckles.

Day was great here.

Tired as heck.

Painted, moved furniture and then the pool with the young kids.

[MB3]

Yeah we still had some smoke here yesterday but not bad.Today looks real good here.Me and the kids are going over to Berry this morning IF my youngest daughter ever gets up ! (she is sleeping outside in our tent!) which is pretty cool as it is a Kelty and is open at the top to look at the stars.Maybe she will carry on my hiking and camping trends? Enjoy your day.

I agree.

QBID was my lesson learned.

[MrSparex]

If it cost someone $20,000 to learn that...
it's worth that to really learn it!

[Deann]

EXACTLY!

Learned that lesson the hard way.

But hey, at least I learned.

Morning BOSS.

[veloyt]

thanks and I hope I get that chance again

[MrSparex]

I highly suggest...
I HIGHLY SUGGEST that when your way up and amazed at the sight your beholding on your screen....
SELL SELL SELL!
...and be amazed that the junk could have went so high!

[Deann]

PM me your e-mail addy and I'll see what I can do.

k?

[veloyt]

dean I tried to go home tonight and it is grid lock on the roads so I came back to work could you send me the instructions to my via email it would be appreciated. I know that my wife has some type of picture formating and she has many books of her pictures of things so maybe with a little help I could show you some of the climbing/hiking pictures

[Deann]

You need to get an online photo album.

I used PictureTrail and Photobucket.

If you need some help let me know.

I for one love to see pictures of great hikes and trails.

:)

[veloyt]

dean I have some great pictures but do not know how to get them on here to show them

[Deann]

That's the way it usually happens.

Sorry to hear you missed such an excited hike however.

You must have some awesome pictures of your adventures.

:)

[veloyt]

the problem is that I busted my leg up playing fun volley ball in the sand nothing to do with hiking every one thought I must have broke it up hiking and not to be so I could not go the week after my accident on a hike I had set up with 10 people to do an all 16 hour climb and a 6500 ft elevation with the last 1/2 mile on glacier travel

[Deann]

Ouch ... sorry to hear about the leg.

I would suggest you just stay on walking trails for now until you've got full strength (or almost full strength) back.

Even with two good legs I've found myself hurting on some 'tough' hikes and that can only lead to trouble.

Glad to have you aboard by the way. The more hikers the merrier.

:)

[veloyt]

i like to hike but still trying to get my leg that I busted in 3 places in July last year to work. I am still trying to get it strengthened by using the bicycle not healing as well as I want it too but then what ever does now days

[veloyt]

well like today I started out with 10 Grand up and finished with 10 Grand in the whole I think I must be doing something wrong I thought I was suppose to go up not down and that is a 20 Grand swing in one day I think some one is telling me that I should not be in the stocks if I am going to work and watch periodically. Maybe I will have to use that tent you got on order

[Deann]

Not me but it sure sounds like a lot of fun.

You a hiker veloyt?
