Another reason WA sucks

WTF are you talking about?

Washington's Lottery

walottery.com

And we still don't have an income tax.

Okay, so there's a state run lottery but for some reason Big Fin can't have a contest in Washington? I'm trying to figure out exactly what is the problem. Is it a licensing issue? Don't the other states require a license to run contests with prizes? Up here Sick Kids and other charitable outfits must have licenses for lotteries etc. and they must indicate their license number in advertising.

Isn't that amazing? With all the libs in this state they havn't pushed that through?

If WA and CO alpineering had a baby it would probably be called the Wind River Range and be the envy of both.

I have never wandered more accessible easy terrain so far above treeline... but for rock climbing I've never seen better.

Yes, but with a La Nina year March will be better.

You guys have convinced me. Im definitely gonna try to make it out to shoot a segment this winter.

As you gents know, it's a little bit apples to oranges. That and you zoom out a few more x's on GE and Jasper/Banff blows the whole thing out of the water. I'd say CO likely wins pure alpine route quality and quantity. WA wins committed big mountain mountaineering. CO is going to have more and better quality WI and rock grades up high, WA is going to have more legit Alpine Grade IV/V/VI that represent a serious commitment level.

TMI Snowy.

So beautiful. In fact they slow you down on the I5 corridor to really take in the burned out bum camps, trash, etc etc. Thoughtful! Today made it through that stretch a shade over 11mph, a new record!

Mountains are really great, but when day to day life involves bumper to bumper traffic, dodging tweakers, $0.08 for a f*cking paper bag at the store….Uhh yeah I’m out.

Washington may be overrun with people, but they make some great wine. This Washington wine definitely does not suck.

that sir is the pit of hell. They've had construction on the that hill my entire life and the traffic has never gotten better. My Dad swears they've been doing construction on that hill since before there was an "I-5"

That pic looks better than the last time I crawled down it.

Yeah but there is a sweet Montbell store!

Yeah but there is a sweet Montbell store!

And a sweet REI of course, conveniently located next to Wilderness Exchange.

Far too many places claiming to have good pizza tho
