Hey Ron.
I really like the orange accents on my Hunqapillar. Not sure I would like
the whole bike orange, but this color scheme fits the woods somehow.
Dappled sunlight and grey shadow under the pine.
The tent is Hilleberg's Akto. It's an amazing set-up. The fly is the
structure that you set
thanks for the tent review.

It's easy to talk about stuff that just works! Grin.

Wow, that's beautiful country. Seems like a great time, solo in the woods
for 2 nights. Glad to know the Sackville bags work well in the rain. I'm
still contemplating the panniers but have yet to pull the trigger.
I'm curious, are there bears in that neck of the woods? What do you do with
Black bears, yes. We had one tear apart our garage door last week to get
trash in the bin inside (we forgot the trash guy comes a day later with a
holiday).
At least up the hill they are very shy of people. I see them on the edge of
the woods usually and they run the other way. I've come upon
Bears are pretty shy initially, but if you happen to camp where the
bear has previously gotten food from some irresponsible previous
camper, that bear is likely to stick around and try to get your food
if it can. And I think if a bear has previously stolen food from
people, it starts to think
male bears will always run away - mama bears will never run away

That's some beautiful country you've captured in those photos. Thanks for
sharing them with us.

Good to know. I do most of my camping in the Mt Hood NF and while there are
bears around I never really take any precautions other than not having food
in my tent. I think they're pretty shy and I've never seen any notices at
any of the campsites. I did see a bear last year. It ran across the

when you have the right clothes (and bike!).

Indeed! The way we say that here is There's no such thing as bad weather,
only bad clothing.

Patrick, as usual your pictures are beautiful and make me miss the
mountains. I hope the gray days gave you some comfort (your smile makes me
think they did!). Bob

Yeah, even after the local 200 year flood in the creek a few yards from
our house a few weeks ago, I still love the rain. I guess I'm just a
mountain bumpkin at heart. Grin. Though I'm baffled how they can call it a
200 year flood. Once you get past the time of keeping records, shouldn't

200 year - are you in Manitou? We will talk about that one of these
days! I had planned to be out in October to look at some streams in the
Waldo Canyon fire area and intended to find you. That is postponed for a
bit. Bob

Hey Bob. We live in Green Mountain Falls, about 7 miles uphill from
Manitou. The flood took out 1.34 of the two bridges we can use to access
our home (well, I can ride across both of them, but it's not safe for
cars). The creek went from 4 to 12', spilling over the far bank from our
house and
