In reply to: the bus is leaving. you are either on the bus, or you are not on the bus.
A Bus?
http://user.mc.net/hyden/images/bus.gif
Won't it be difficult to drive a bus all the way there?
I mean, doesn't Colorado have a few hills?
I seem to recall reading about big hills somewhere around here.
And I'm certainly no expert, but I can't imagine a bus would be easy to control on an icy road.
Maybe if we have chains for the tires...
Do they make chains that big? Who's gonna pay for the chains?
And then there's the whole parking issue...
Shouldn't we take a 4x4 or something?
Better yet, we'll all get some horses or mules.
Geo, you can get a donkey.

And I thought this was in August. That's more than 45 days away.
I'm really confused now. :roll:

Can't make it this year for I'll be in Atlanta that weekend, but I did make it last year and had an awesome time ice climbing with the likes of Malcolm Daly, Jim Donini, Jack Tackle, and Jared Ogden!! I highly recommend the trip!!

Isn't that the next step above Bucket Banger?
As I recall, it's Hose Monkey, Bucket Banger, Ladder Lugger, and Water Wanker.
At one time, Stretcher Fetcher was included in the list.
Oh, and being a certified Knuckle Dragger is the prerequisite for all of them.

yo, amber_chica ... you and yer "offline friend" should reacquaint yourselves with geography as it pertains to your plans. the durango-ouray route up US 550 is kinda' sketchy that time of year. it could take an hour and a half; it could take all day; and, as can sometimes happen, the road might just be closed.
of course, i haven't factored for the possibility your "offline friend" has a [i:91085af315]helicopter[/i:91085af315]. :wink:

Yeah Last year my buddy told me to go down around and through Montrose(i was coming from Vegas), But me being the genius that I am!! I took one look at the map and said, "no way that's the long way"!! BIG MISTAKE. That road takes FOREVER! And It's BAD.....I ain't no wussy driver neither!!
Have fun driving that thing....
Reno's just jealous because instead of a nice warm bed to sleep in he gets the back of an Ambulance at the Ghetto-11 on the corner, bacteria and all....

here's one fer flamer and reno:
a paramedic and a firefighter are walking through downtown denver one fine afternoon when they come upon a little boy sitting on the sidewalk. the little boy has a 5-gallon bucket, and he's stirring something in it with a stick.
the paramedic gets down on one knee and asks the little boy, "so ... whatcha' doing?" the little boy looks up at him and says, "i got me five gallons of sh*t, and i'm gonna' make me a [i:0e54d9c48a]paramedic[/i:0e54d9c48a]."
well, the firefighter just doubles over with laughter and is about to [i:0e54d9c48a]pee his pants [/i:0e54d9c48a]from laughing so hard. the paramedic, meanwhile, red in the face from embarassment, asks the little boy, "okay, then ... but why not make a [i:0e54d9c48a]firefighter[/i:0e54d9c48a] instead?"
the little boy looks into the bucket, then back up at the paramedic and says, "because i ain't got enough [i:0e54d9c48a]sh*t[/i:0e54d9c48a]." :wink:
