Vacation Time

We are also going to fly into Salt Lake for a week's vacation with the intention of going after Kings Peak and then Borah Peak. However, I am targeting towards the end of August to have a better chance of making Borah a nontechnical climb for us. As for the strategy on Chick en out Ridge, I will probably just go over the top and deal with the notch one way or the other when we reach it. Judging from numerous trip reports on the web, it should be possible to do it without much difficulty minus the rope.

Our plan is to drive to the Henry's Fork trailhead and go via the Dollar Lake route towards Kings Peak. Then, we work our way to Idaho and camp at the foot of Borah to make the ascent the next morning.

When we reach Salt Lake, we will stop somewhere to buy fuel and some jugs of water. Our fuel bottles and stove will be empty so that they can make the flight. The plan is to pawn off the extra fuel on the last day and light off the stoves until they are empty before returning to the airport. You should label the box "GROUND ONLY" so they don't load it into a plane. Given that it will be shipped via truck, you should allow plenty of time to make the x-country trip.

While the US Mail is an option, there is also ground options for FedEx and UPS. Often stores like Mailboxes Etc, and Postman Plus will accept packages to be held till you arrive. Sometimes little general stores might do the same. They might charge a small fee, but it is better than to get caught doing something you shouldn't.

Think about how a liquid gas fuel bottle looks on an X-ray machine. It is not something that they are likely to let pass. I was frustrated by the Pete Rose ordeal from the start... While I was touring Cooperstown, near closing time I was rushing through the "Hall Of Fame" room, when a employee of the H.O.F.
approached me and asked if I found everything ok and enjoyable... I just kept looking at the busts of the great ones enshrined there and said to her without a blink of an eye... Yes Ma'am, I found everything, but this isn't the Hall Of Fame without Pete Rose. I wanted him to be recognized for the athlete he was and in my mind still is. With my mind zinging back and forth I wondered if there was anyway to get him a star on the "Walk of Fame, in Hollywood... Just for providing me and all the thousands of viewers out there with quality entertainment via athletic achievement. I will say that wanting to name a mountain after him seems like someone is now in the same crazed state as I was in when I came up with the "Walk of Fame" star idea. I think it would be best to stay in a similar field... You need to stay with the sports theme, but go bigger than baseball... But that is the dilemma isn't it?

EXAMPLE QUESTION:
Where is Cooperstown?

BIGGER THAN BASEBALL ANSWER:
Cooperstown is located in Pete Rose County, New York...

That would be know as a "bird being flipped!!!!"

This makes me glad that Lawerence Taylor got into the Pro Football H.O.F. .. Otherwise we would
be trying to name a Mtn after Cocaine, being arrested, being stupid, lying... I can go on... But
this is for hiking high points.

Lastly... How many peaks does Pete Rose have now? Let me ask Jack Longacre... Roger Rowlett...
or Dave Coveril (Apologies on the spelling errors) Oops I can't ask them at this time, because
they are out getting a baseball stadiums named after them today.

But the third, and my main reason for crossing, is that its just plain fun! Nothing beats the quick handling and lively feel of the cross bike on the quickest descents and trickiest singletrack. In his Feb. '93 Bicycle Guide article "Mountain Bikes: Who Needs Them?" Chris Kostman called these modified road bikes "the first and only real all-terrain bike." And he's right! I believe they're also the perfect commuter, or, as Grant Peterson would call them, all-rounder bikes. No throw-back balloon tires, elastomer bumpers, springs and OPEC drippings to separate you from the feel of the Earth. Just you, your wits and the perfect trail bike. The simplicity of a cross bike, and the very act of riding, running and walking, enable you, as Robert Oubron and Rene Chesal write in their book Cycliste 100%, serie cyclo-cross (Paris, 1967), "to discover hundreds of interesting things which you would have ridden straight past is you had not been tempted into hitching the bike over your shoulder, or simply pushing it along, and following a riverbed, or a footpath that may end in a spring or an unexpected view, or a lane that suddenly yields up some unexpected historical monument, or a lake you did not know existed.

...Just try doing this on a bridal path in Savoy or in the Pyrenees and I'll be surprised if you don't find yourself singing for sheer joy. And when you're back down again, after clattering through streams and gullies and stony paths, sometimes on the bike, sometimes on your feet, you will have enjoyed a wonderful experience."

The main bikes of my wife, Melanie, and I are 'cross bikes. In the country area where we live there are too many dirt roads to just jump on our road bikes and ride - and way too much asphalt to lug cumbersome mountain bikes around on. With the sluggish and unresponsive geometry of the common hybrid, what's left? If you want a machine that has precision slo-mo handling and can really pull out the speed when you want it, the cyclo-cross bike is the answer.
