One of my old roomates wife used to work for Mongoose in the 90's. It was my roomies B-Day and I remember the day she came home with a super lite bike that John Tomac used when he competed. Not the actual bike but the same frame. IIRC, it was made from chrome moly?

So when you get up there they actually have a very very narrow gate and if you cant fit through it, you cant climb because you cant get through the slot. It looks cool but its all free hand climbing and im good on falling 1100+ feet to my death.

I'm extremely claustrophobic and that one in particular gives me anxiety just thinking about it. Fuck all that shit. I cant even sleep in a sleeping bag without it being unzipped.

I used to do a little rock climbing (very little: I've never climbed anything more difficult than a 5.3), but always considered spelunkers to be fucking insane. Rock climbing in the dark, in narrow passages and repelling down an abyss, where you can't see the bottom, never seemed like a good idea to me.

Remember when Elon Musk wanted to build a submarine or something, to get some kids out of a cave, somewhere in Thailand? No matter how smart someone is in certain areas, they can be fucking idiots in others.

Im all about going in caves, free hand rock climbing tho is a no go for me.

Theres a cave down the road from me like 7 miles, you have to bring at least 300 feet of rope or you can't get in it because you have to repel down in or climb the rope down. Its 288 feet from the opening to solid ground. Pretty crazy.

My brother lived in Hawaii for 4 years, he was stationed there. He said it was the most epic mountain biking he's ever seen. Crazy fucker used to just send er down this fucking lava flows and crazy mountain trails, go on like 50 mile adventures. I'm too old for intense biking anymore, I have my hybrid Raleigh, it's a cross between a cruiser and a mountain bike. Great for riding with the pack of kids we usually have while we're camping. Think I might get some more aggressive tires this year cause it could do a little better in dirt. Gotta find somewhere to get it tuned up, it's been a few years. I love riding my bike, I'm still 12 at heart lol.

I just dont have 8,000 dollars to drop on a bicycle, its bad enough i have a 7,000 dollar race bike just hanging from hooks in my shed. I could sell it in a few hours if i went to a bmx track, but its all i have left from racing other than my jersey from when i was sponsored by FLY Racing.

We have some old mines close to here that are cool to explore, dangerous as hell though. Legend has it Al Capone and some other gangsters buried treasure somewhere up there. He was a regular in this area due to prohibition and his lucrative smuggling empire and our close proximity to the Canadian border. Dutch Schultz, another notorious gangster, actually had his second tax evasion trial in Malone, which is the closet town to me and the county seat, after his trial in Syracuse had a hung jury. Some think he buried a Hoard somewhere in the ADK as well. Cool history up here... and I definitely looked for the lost treasure as a teen... thankfully I didn't fall down a mine shaft.

Funny thing you mention Al Capone. My wifes grandfather is the brother of Al's father or something along those lines. Ive only seen the family tree once so i don't remember exact but they are related in some way or another.
I know right where Malone is, spent every day for 6 weeks wiring a house up there with my father.

ADKs have awesome history and its such a beautiful place to be/live. I love going up to lake champlain for a few hours and then hiking halfway up a mountain and camping for the night. Its so peaceful up there.

Morning all of yiz!
Beautiful day in the Ozarks. Sixty two and sunny, a hot cup o’ Java on the south porch. A nice harvest hanging to dry.. life is good good in the woods hood!
Im still worried about @Pipecarver. Way too quiet for him.
Seeing a lot of familiar names popping up over here 🥰. Amazing since the wanker has banned the words Bud and builder from pvt not so pvt convos! I’m still laughing this morning over not being able to say Bud in pvt on a weed forum 😂🤣😂😅🥲😂🤣.

See the way around that is message somebody and say go to Mud Guilders.org. Just swap the M for a B and the G for another B and you'll be there. And maybe a follow up and say sorry to make you think of eunuchs with "guilder", but one did start all this, so it is appropriate. ;)

I grew up about a mile from one of his many hideout in Illinois. His out shed area is now the sportsman club that I was booted from a few years ago. Lots of fighting and general drunkenness. Plus a bunch idiots I grew up around. We used to collect cone top beer cans there as a kid. Shell casing and such

The house has a dock on the river where they had gitaway boats and more hideouts downstream I think it's a pretty major one because of it's location just outside of Chicago


Basically a shooting range/ cheap outdoor bar in the woods by the river in cherry valley Illinois.

Plus I'm persona non grata ..

I'm not welcome at the Hells Angels headquarters in Rockford either

I don't have much much expectations for others besides not being a thief or a liar.... While acting like your a friend


Other than that, what's coming out of people's mouth better match their actions or there's gonna be a confrontation period. Dirty for dirty

I see holding others to account as a moral imperative

@CannaGranny has Dean1964 made it over yet? I left him a message over the weekend. He just responded today ... I know he's looking forward to your help with his scrog.

Haven’t seen him yet. Thanks @MiGrampa ! We were right in the middle of it all. I’m surprised they didn’t boot him as he kept putting up threads asking what happened, where was everybody? Instead of answering, they would just delete his thread.

Back around when you were born, or maybe before, Geraldo Rivera was earnestly working to completely destroy any remnant of his dignity, when he hosted a special on television called The Mystery of Al Capone's Vaults.

The "vaults" were alcoves in the basement of a building he once owned that had been bricked up and sealed off. After several weeks of hype on whichever of the Big 3 networks aired the show, America sat down to watch. Surely if there was no loot, there would be human remains, right? I mean, shit, it's Al Capone we're talking about! Break out the bong and gather 'round!

Well, after about an hour about how bad Al Capone and his gang was, and the kinds of horrors or riches that were likely behind the walls, they finally started taking down the walls. To make a long story short, (the show was 2 hours long), there was nothing but construction debris behind the walls. Before I wandered off, little Bobcats were scooping the crap out. No treasure, no mummified remains, skeletons or Halloween decorations were found.

The funny thing was, I was in grad school at the time, and the next day at work, it turned out a lot of the professors also watched the show, and without benefit of a bong!

He actually used to buy shows and toys for all the kids in the town when he was in the area.
