Took two runs down the skier’s left side of the bowl (no cliff there!). Skied the first run in style and took a tumble on the second. :) <br/><br/>Remembering that I got interviewed that day by an NPR reporter halfway up the book track to the top and people across the country heard my dog bark at someone coming down the ascent line. 2026-07-27T16:07:56Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqfm9teld2z7uw0m9uksukx8awdrp63em7jp8hzuwfukmtes2z0sqzyqezxrhwllkpkcnq8mxdx73n7mqu0p2qclst86h67magg8xs3yyqvqx4eje In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstn8pckl4scx2ecat343v8n43pkpu8fhlf3g3uy0aqy73xwqjd48qprg3z7'>nevent1q…g3z7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Tuckermans?

They seem to be using it as a supplement to their usual calls. So, walking to school I’ll hear four or five Flickers alternating between vocal calls and street lamp percussion. 🥁<br/>#birds #tools #drums<br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/116/218/311/454/723/175/original/1a1f9e25a9061b84.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-03-12T21:26:47Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs980kfcp29w4nmc9gyvf7670w4a08ckrczt946w9xrmt4qpg6d2tszyqezxrhwllkpkcnq8mxdx73n7mqu0p2qclst86h67magg8xs3yyqvz89nr7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstxal8xp6uxwaqfc2gj6uch4t6lgfz3jhj8ju8xxrhrfppp4xe97gqw96yc'>nevent1q…96yc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Many gems in here, but this is my favorite… with apologies to monoglot German speakers.<br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/116/082/856/757/157/032/original/77e4587e1deabc95.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-02-16T23:18:29Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyr8r9lxz20ecu9umjmh3q8mrncfzdjvf07cydnhj4x3fyfwu00qczyqezxrhwllkpkcnq8mxdx73n7mqu0p2qclst86h67magg8xs3yyqvevpx0z In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0f8yetdmgth4xk367k7jg9kk58guhumxxss34hfluj9fhwptl54sp708hc'>nevent1q…08hc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yeah, if you put in 8-10 hours, I think you’ll definitely make more miles, 30ish? I’d guess I’m usually closer to 5-6 hours on my trips. <br/><br/>Here’s our long day from the end of last summers trip. 8 hours for 21 miles (watch died at the end), But this was lower flow. 2500cfs I think. Also a couple class 4 bits that needed scouting. Averaged 3.6mph that day.<br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/116/069/863/823/712/376/original/2738abec062848ae.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-02-14T16:14:46Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8zf2q9fqcug4xjgjltgfcgw8nl4k4s0j6lums8hdpr52lxy4fhvgzyqezxrhwllkpkcnq8mxdx73n7mqu0p2qclst86h67magg8xs3yyqv7sxkgu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0f6sd5qpsulyt0ah5ccgx4fcjfam4hkdnnutgj8yxneeexn2n65qxtu3la'>nevent1q…u3la</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So… for 250 miles, at the higher flows, I think you’d want at least two weeks for the trip. But that’s rough math. 2026-02-13T18:57:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0f6sd5qpsulyt0ah5ccgx4fcjfam4hkdnnutgj8yxneeexn2n65qzyqezxrhwllkpkcnq8mxdx73n7mqu0p2qclst86h67magg8xs3yyqvjjn3s2 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf5nr5vamp4dex5fhe8kqep6lq9f50yqfu5y0ydgvm8gu68agmlxctm5enq'>nevent1q…5enq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>250 miles!! Wow, that sounds like a blast! Yeah, it will certainly pick up steam as you go downriver. <br/><br/>I’ve done a bunch of 40-60 mile trips in the last few years on rivers running a little lower, around 4K. I’m usually trying to stretch them out so that we have lots of time for side hikes, etc. I’ve done those trips in 5-6 days, but all of them could have been done in 3 if we’d been focused on making miles. 2026-02-13T18:56:55Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqf72e9yc2hvh07celw8cy5jjk8dh96fw9ps4elc42rjv2y0lhqqgzyqezxrhwllkpkcnq8mxdx73n7mqu0p2qclst86h67magg8xs3yyqvcep2a9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqh6vqvzmqzhhqgm3ffzzec28yfg32np6lashw8hxugvz7787q75qk6cknw'>nevent1q…cknw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>what’s moderate/high flow in cfs? <br/><br/>On a local river running around 4000-5000 for medium flow, a comfortable day is 10-15 miles. At the speed you’re imagining, I’d guess that would be comparable. 2026-02-13T07:26:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsy6e6q3drlcaekgkrgq63gapnyffeah2nskyu9rc3ffsxat6sqxdszyqezxrhwllkpkcnq8mxdx73n7mqu0p2qclst86h67magg8xs3yyqvpuk94g Tonight in #Montana #aurora<br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/113/269/647/893/373/164/original/d2cfcb7479cae6db.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-10-08T03:22:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqste9j7e9g9kqx0tvfjf3f5t5zmzad3zz7902exyedcf6v0k7u3ryqzyqezxrhwllkpkcnq8mxdx73n7mqu0p2qclst86h67magg8xs3yyqv7dfd2z Here’s a picture of my recently finished painting! Refracted light running across river rocks. <br/><br/>When I shared this a few weeks ago, there were people interested in prints. I’ve sorted out a process to make that happen and I’m really happy with the quality of the prints.
