Bikers on footpaths suck.
So do whiner threads like this one.
IF you can wait about 30 days, the political threads will mostly die, except for Farttrad's incessant moaning and groaning about the clash of civilizations.
I said 30 days cause of course there will be a lot of bitching about who wins and loses, so just keep your pants on for thirty days.
As for why serious climbing related threads, even threads about NEW stuff or accident reports, or things that could actually help climbers climb better or safer, don't get more posts, it MUST be because people are not that intersted in them.
I'm not happy abotu that either, but that's how how thigns are.
Even though this is allegendly a climbing site, apparently climbers will talk about what they want, not what you think they should.
Better get over that.

Hope you choose to wear a helmet when you bang your head against that particular wall, Chris.
I saw TM in The Meadows last Fall, even got his contact info.

Wow! A $50,000 fifth wheel? Post the link to that photo - that thing must be WAY tricked out!
Coincidentally, we just bought a fifth wheel for far less than half that amount (guess ours is a pile in comparison to the 50k one). Because we spent a lot of time researching light weight fifth wheels (and purchased the smallest made - 24') we only get one to two mpg less than we do in the truck and topper. And surprisingly, in many cases, using the fifth wheel offers a savings for us. Instead of multiple short trips, we can make one trip and stay out longer. Pretty cool, eh? I agree with you about noisy generators as well - they are obnoxious. That is the main reason we don't have one and are instead installing solar panels.
You should try one, you might like it...

And Mike…rather than the “going to a bar analogy,” a better one might be walking over to someone’s campfire, where there is an ongoing conversation and interrupt the group “spraying” about the climbs you did that day.
(ahh…as the “pirates” descend)

Melissa - no no, it's just a little trad line on Herring Creek Dome called The Teacher :) The pic is from Labor Day.
Thanks for the good wishes ... I was in Yosemite a few weeks ago and led Sloth Wall (5.7) and the second pitch of Munginella (5.6, we did it in three pitches that day).
Context for the OP and other such folks: I'm a recovering incomplete quadriplegic .. broke my neck in 8/2007 in a car accident, spinal cord bruise, paralysis, halo, titanium implants in my neck, wheelchair, etc. But as luck would have it I am climbing again, so you can kiss my grits ! :D

It’s interesting typing up a post then coming back to it. Lame little insults from people like Greg (steelmonkey) and MisterE.
You know guys, there is no rule that you HAVE to type something. You aware of that?
At least Crimper had a good response defending her camper with the use of solar panels (and yes, they do work well...I own a few. It always amazes me how they draw power even when it is cloudy out).

reminds me of the SNL skit with the old man...
we didn't have skis in my day, we strapped dead people to our feet.
we said, "Look at me, I'm skiing on dead people."
LOL!!!
