And the great part is, even though I've seen those pictures, I *still* think of you as a middle-aged white guy Posts: 3243 | Registered: Apr 2002

Ok, I'm here to shamelessly plug my album. I have just added some new photos, including shots from my trip to a place so remote, the only way in was by float plane. Those shots are in my Spruce Lake gallery. I also have a shot I took of the Northern Lights. It's nothing special, but it's something.

filetted, take a look at the first three pictures, I show the route we took up. I drew a line on the pictures to show how we climbed up to the ridge, and the route we took from there. There is nothing like a lift anywhere near where we were. There isn't even a road. Our campsite is accessible only by float plane or a 6 hour hike, nearly all uphill. Us, we took our bikes. From our campsite at 4500', it is a long way to the top of Sheeba, at about 9000'. There isn't a trail or anything, so it was alot of bushwhacking until we reached the treeline at around 6000'. Once we reached the treeline, it was a scramble up two very steep scree fields for about 1500', then the alpine meadows along the ridge were pretty easy going for about 1000' vertical. The last ascent, as you can no doubt see is a fairly technical climb to the top of the closer of the two rock spires. One lesson learned: biking cleats make good climbing shoes.

Oh, right, where was I? Location, right. Well, if you are familiar with the geography of BC, I was in the southern Chilcotin. If you aren't, the Chilcotin is about 150 miles north of Vancouver. Take a look on a map if you are confused. Spruce Lake is a tiny, less than one mile long lake straddling the Chilcotin and Coast mountain ranges. One of the coolest features of the landscape there is the contrast between the two ranges. The Coast Range is all intrusive igneous rock and extinct volcanoes. The Chilcotin on the other hand, is uplifted sedimentary.

You're quite welcome, Zotto. I'm just glad that people other than Ralphie are looking at them (I know she's looking at them because she keeps commenting on them, plus we all know about her brobdingnagian crush on me).

Did you remember to let everyone know that I was the first person to see the real you? I've been missing for a while and am curious.

You know, I told Toni and whoever else was listening at the second Shinda, but I never really got around to telling anyone else. But I guess they know now, right?
That's right, folks, Primal Curve knew what I looked like months before the rest of you did. Bow down and worship his Photoshop skills!

Jebus, Ralphie, did you have to mention that? Now I feel like a dirty old man for agreeing...

Foobonic,
I keep looking, but can't find the photos I sent you. If you just haven't had time, no problem and sorry to bother you about it. If they got lost or whatever though, I'll send them again. They are supposed to be .jpg's right? Let me know please, and thanks again.

Oh well, I came in here for some shameless self-promotion, and Ralphie beat me to it. Though, I suppose for her it wasn't self-promotion, and possibly not even shameless.
