Hope you guys have a blast 

Hey, we'll be in the cascades. That's volcano country. Hidden meaning?

Well...that would be super cool too...er...uh...super heated?
No...wait...that is Pinnacles...triple digits this week.
You can check the Cascade Volcano Observatory through the USGS website.
I just went out there and their (USGS) website is not very user friendly. Here's a link.

St Helens has the highest probability but nearly all those vents are considered active.
I bet the scenery will be amazing

Have fun! Can't remember where you are gunning for finish-wise this time, but if it's near Mt. Hood and the town of Government Camp, make sure to get a huckleberry milkshake at the Huckleberry Inn! They also have maple bars as large as my head

Hmm, fourth post and it is about Huckleberry milkshakes and monster maple bars.  I think this wins the award for % of quality posts.

Edit:  First post was animal tubing.   Definite winner.

Definite winner.

If that's your impression after just a few posts, wait 'til you've actually met her in person.

Not this trip. This trip we'll (ideally) finish on Highway 20.

Next trip though, end-of-July into August, that's exactly where we expect to finish. We may be calling you from the approximate location (then) to ask for directions. Oh, and BTW, do you have a line of credit there? Is your line of credit in your name?

The last few months I have noticed a new, disturbing trend of typos in Brad's posts.
I hope he's not using the same method for the new guidebook.  

[Brad Young]

What, you got a problem with us taking another "rip."

I just finished four days of trial (that were supposed to go well - they went astronomically well). I'm probably still a little too amped up to type carefully.

Besides, you, yourself and you will be reading every page of the new book (at least if I get my way). So you'll clean up any errors that might, maybe creep in.

When is the new guide coming out?

Years.

I thought maybe you were dictating into your phone or some such technology.
It was really messing with my OCD. Much more and I might have gone into Overdrive.
I ee you ixed that ost.

Saw briham and mt.reynier at the Edge tonight. Had no idea briham was sneaking around Pinns on Saturday.
Figured we lost both of them to the Valley or the Pass a month or so ago.

I meant what I said about you editing. You're the only human being (arguably anyway) who actually reads the stuff I post on the "New Routes" thread and then offers constructive suggestions. Sometimes OCD can be useful.

Yes, yes, I know I can't make you edit, but I can be very persuasive.

And yes, I fixed the error (you don't think you're the only one who can't stand that stuff now do you?).

I'm curious though why you didn't edit the typo in your original post?

We have met

We have met

Actually yeah, I think I remember you meeting Brian and Whitney the day they climbed Shades of Jade?

They also have maple bars as large as my head

I can vouch for this. I ate a whole one....

I would tend to agree

You did, but with only one day off and temps in the mid 70's it was game on down there. 

Have a great trip Brad. I promise to leave you at least 2 undone routes up in you know where....it involves the G word though.

[Brad Young]

Almost back to the trail for day one. Clear, crisp skies. The opposite of our last time here.

[briham89]

Clear, crisp skies

Are you sure you're in Oregon?

[F4?]

Could be worse, it could be Washington.
I hope he has his beard ready for Washington.

[mynameismud]

He definitely is not in WA.  I was stormed out of the Mountains yesterday.  Torrential
