Sorry, he sounded like somebodies beatch to me. Heck he called me a liar, I can only think of one other guy that was there that day who is still alive and doubt he'd appreciate a phone call from the inquisitor.

And somebody pipes the Coastie on board, gang tackle.

I never did say I was Special Forces, my first MOS was Scout, worked with them some, along with the Rangers and others, actually taught some courses they attended. I can think of worse things to be proud of.

Sucks that her son died because of her lack of preparation for what was supposed to be a fun camping trip. Points out a good maxim: don't head out alone, especially into somewhere like Death Valley.

Yes, you can imagine them thinking they were going out to have fun. The story was in Saturday's paper and said the jeep was a Cherokee. Says she was "following a GPS device." Must have been a track or destination, probably got it from the internet.

Oh trust me...we all have called you a liar. Most just don't have the guts to say it out loud. :D

Clausewitz, "If you can destroy something you control it" Heck if a pile of rubble is what you want, have at it. I really don't see the point. Changing me much is a lost cause ( I really can't remember all the people who have tried and failed). I propose we ban Chuck for being Chuck, that is sure to make the world a better place. Should we move this to the members forum?

Oh and by the way, late hit, a 15 yard penalty for piling on.

Oh and by the way, I once spent most of three days stuck in a sand pit (about the size of a small metor crater) near Devils Playground, trying to decide if I wanted to hike the twenty or so miles to Ludlow or not. Some old fart in a 56 GMC with most of the paint scoured off, and a giant camper on the back came by and pulled me out. LOL

Nice, resort to name calling. And you're the elder?

Hey you were supposed to look at the map and call me a liar and tell me Kelso is closer than Ludlow and then I was supposed to tell you about how the Sheriff in Kelso ran me out of town and suggested I not come back. But heck that's another story.

Speaking of digging, during the big freeze at China Gardens I learned something valuable. Some layers of rock had frost on them, some didn't. The layers had actually rather radically different temperatures. You can actually follow rock stratum as they disappear into the sand and then reappear awhile later by the temperature (if you check it while it's cool out, before the sun hits it) same strata tend to have the same composition. It can save you some wasted digging if you are looking for specific minerals or ever do some prospecting.

You do know that boy scouts and Cav Scouts are two very different things right? PX Ranger is clearly the most honorable of them all though.
 
I read this story in the sf chronicle, and it was a jeep cherokee, and they found the thing with sand up to it's axles.
 
I wonder how many lives would be saved if highschools had mandatory training on first aid.

Are you sure you don't have a unicorn farm on the East Coast? I know this large-foreheaded individual who used to hang out here. You guys would probably get along great...

I had a unicorn farm once...lots of sales but we could never deliver because they always either got hung up on the way into the horse trailer or broke their horns inside when we would hit bumps....lost my shirt on that one! Some day I'll tell ya about my buddies camel ranch in Australia.....now that was a sad story....seems they were lefthand drive....sad.:doh:
