Rave: The Mountains

[maddash]

Jeeze, just look at all you altitude elitists on this board. What's wrong with some good ol' plains at sea level?



I guess it's hard to look down on people when you're not up on high.

Dude, you miss the point. You cannot have mountains without the lowlands, right?

Oh, I see. Can't have the bourgeoisie without the proletariat, eh? Well, we plains are sick of feeding you with our farms and ranches... it's time the mountains buck up and start providing more than pretty views and uranium.

I thought this thread was going to be about the Mountains' impressive 1274 day winning streak.

Popeye beats me to it.
Stupid meetings.

Every sport I've ever liked involves mountains. Skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking (possible elsewhere but better in mountains). Always wanted to kayak in whitewater, but haven't gotten the chance yet.

Without the Rocky Mountains to grab the clouds, harvest the moisture, and store it as snowpack, the high plains farmers would be high and dry from Limon to Lincoln. And the BuRec would have to find something better to do. And the buffalo would trample your daisies.

As someone with a mild fear of heights ( I call it a healthy fear), I cringed reading that story about the family on Mont Blanc. I like looking at them, but I'm afraid I'll have to leave the climbing to others.

I'm not great with heights, but managed to do this
last week in Colorado without much trouble. Pics 11-14 are especially interesting.

I heard that somebody graffitied an elk on Mt Cameron.
