Let me know when you head this way, I would love to hike with you again.

Like Dog at this time there are wild flowers, and for a while every 2 weeks that you go up you will get a new showing of them. I saw wonderful flowers on Dog yesterday, that wont be there in 2 weeks but the grand finalee for Dog mt will be as fun hog suggested in 2 to 3 weeks that is when the balsm root cover the entire hill it is quite a site if you have never seen it before.

As for Hamilton I am not sure if it does the same or not but I am sure it has its own glory. The green one's box up there has been pulled per his request. But with a little research you might find other reasons to be up there. If you give me a heads up I would love to hike with you.

they all had elastic boxers and elastic briefs and then they used their elasticity to make them be like slingshots?!

It sounds like a plot right out of "Captain Underpants"

I have had good luck with the beer traps. It's the only thing I ever use it for. Just pour some in a small bowl or deep lid and set it out next to your plants. The slugs crawl in and drown.

Please be aware that this is a good way to catch a "Wassa" as well. And he could drink all your beer and leave nothing for the slugs.

Kinda like me...hmmmm...I really don't think I'm a politician, just a spender.

If you ask my husband I am trying to single handedly turn the economy around with my spending ;-)

slug that happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and was licked by at least 7 different people

The sad part was that when we got back there was no stamp for our trouble :-( The person with the slug licking PT was gone. Oh well we have proof!!!

Mystic Dreamer

Yes that looks like it

I have the same ivy in my yard and I always thought that it was english ivy as well. It grows under my deck which I like it keeps the area looking nice (nothing else would grow there) but it is hard to keep where I want it. The ivy likes to grow up my house and is quite good at splitting the siding and tries to take over a flower bead next to it. It is a chore to keep it cut back and I do consider eliminating it completely but then I reconsider when I see what it is covering up.

I was watching this thread because the ivy grows close to a dogwood that has not been flowering well, I was wondering if the ivy might be the problem. I do keep it at least 5 feet away but who knows. It has not bothered any of the other plants next to them (except the strangling part) I guess that I will just have to keep looking for the dogwoods problem.

"Mommy, you picked M you should have done a card about me" (her name is Makenna)

I don't know what you were thinking making a Monkey !!!

I would have told her "I did make it about you see, its Makenna the Monkey"

Of coarse in my house it would have been true all of my kids resemble monkeys on most days ;-)

Only 3 were insane enough to give it a shot. Poodle Dudes, Smiley and Mystic Dreamer

The night before we visited and stamped in my trailer with all the comforts of home. A sink, stove, toilet and best of all a heater. While all the other climber were in snow tents a lot colder than we were. I know how to do things in style ;-)

The Beginning: We had our dresses and skirts on and packs with skis and snow board on our backs we were ready to take on the world! We began our accent at 2500 feet and 7 am later than we had planned but I forgot to take into account how slow I move in the morning, guess we should have got up earlier or I should have shifted into gear faster. We began light heartedly joking and having fun stopping to adjust gear as the day and our bodies started to heat up, making the need for our winter jackets obsolete. It was a beautiful sunny day we could not have ask for better weather! The trail was well traveled with all the climbers that had been on the mountain in the last several weeks, days and that morning.
We laughed, joked and had a good time as we made our way throw the trees towards the mountain. Smiley tried to give Poodle Dudes a concussion, forgetting several times that her skis towered above her head as she bent over. After a few hours of hiking we stopped to have a snack to keep our energy up, all was good. We continued hiking to just above tree line when we stopped for lunch. We had traveled aprox 3 miles and 2200 feet in elevation putting us at around 4000 feet. Poodle Dudes had brought a fabulous chicken salad with Smiley’s pita bread I thought I was in heaven. Of course all I had was jerky and power bars.

The Torture: After lunch is where the real work began. We started to climb, we climbed the next 2800 feet in less than 2 miles. The packs were starting to weigh heavy on our shoulders and the air was getting thin. We traversed lava fields climbing over boulders to get to the next snow field. The sun was hot it was around 70 degrees. We applied sun screen at every stop (and I still came home with a sun burn) The snow was getting soft under the heat we had to be careful, occasionally we would take a step and would sink up to our knee. It made the trek a lot harder and it took a lot more energy. Just below 6000 feet we decided to lighten our load, we dropped the skis and snowboard and anything unnecessary that we did not need and headed up for the summit at 8500 feet. At 6800 feet I looked up to see the weather system move in and the top of the mountain disappear, total white out. The clouds were aprox 1500 feet above us, but I knew just how fast weather could wrap around a mountain and I was not going to take the chance. I made the call there would be no summit on this trip. We re-adjusted gear and glissaded down to our stashed gear and boards. Put on our skis and boards to ski the rest of the way down. But with the soft snow and the heavy pack it made skiing way too difficult. We ended up just walking out, needless to say somewhere in all of that a few choice words were thrown around and Smiley stopped smiling for a short time. But before we descended to far I planted a letterbox it is not at the top but high enough I feel, plus now we can count our mileage for the path tags. The last couple of miles were long and much like a nasty nightmare where the hallway never ends you go and go and you can never reach the end. Well that is what it felt like, but we did make it to the end and back to our rigs and home. I was expecting to not be able to move this morning put I am doing ok. I am sore but still able to move.

It was long and hard climb and I have no regrets. I am sure our insanity will prevail again someday and we will head back up, but it might take me a few weeks, months maybe years to forget the pain. And be ready to attempt again.

But you gotta clue me in - what's the deal with the dresses - is that a Mother's Day tradition just on Mt. St. Helens?

Yes, it was started about 15 to 20 years ago. Mothers day used to be the last day before you had to purchase a permit to climb the mountain. Now the forest service has clued in and the start charging in April or March I think. But Mothers day is still the last day that they don't regulate how many climbers are on the mountain. From this time on they only allow 100 climber per day and I hear that they sell out early in the year.

So I guess some one a long the way had the idea to wear a dress on mothers day to honor mothers. And well it caught on, there were over 150 climbing the mountain and there were maybe only 5 or 10 with out dresses on.

Can I go next year????

Yes!!!!

Mystic Dreamer

You forgot to mention. . . . .

Thanks for filling in the parts that I forgot. I told my husband if I ever mention taking my snow board up another mountain to pick up said board and hit me over the head with it, he said that he could do that. ;-) And yes next time we will reach the summit!!!!!

Mystic Dreamer

I would like to make a photo clue is there any way to do this on AQ. I don't have a blog but I guess I could get one if it is the only way. Help Please!

Mystic Dreamer

Exellent!! StarSAELS, Thanks that really helps. I need at least 5 photos for the clue. I like your solution!

Mystic Dreamer

I am wondering if it would be possible tp get it with a solid square back ground to make it easier to attach to a pack.

It is the shape that makes this patch so unique and beautiful!! It is not hard to attach I used my sewing machine and had it done in less than 15 min. I could have hand stitched it if I had needed too. I think that you would ruin the patch by changing the shape, but that is just my opinion.

Mystic Dreamer

Cosmos does bloom really well but they are tall. I personally have never had much luck with snapdragons. One of my favorites lately is Dahlias, the regular ones are tall and bloom all summer. 2 years ago I found some dwarf dahlias at the garden store they two were prolific bloomers but shorter so they worked in areas that the larger varieties would not work.

Also most of your anual are great bloomers, just depends on size of plant and color that you want. Marigolds are covered in yellows and oranges they don't smell really wonderful but they also help keep bugs away.

My best suggestion is to go to the garden store and wonder around see what catches your eye. ( always a very dangerous thing to do for my pocket book but lots of fun anyway)

Mystic Dreamer

So where do we get forest passes

I always get mine from the Mt Hood forest service. Just look up your closest forest service office and go there it is a sure bet.

Mystic Dreamer

No, I was there on Thursday. Enjoy!!! The views are spectacular.

I thought that it was about time that we had a state patch as well, so I worked with the same embroderiey company that did the beatiful WA patch. Here is what we have came up with

http://www.atlasquest.com/gallery/viewphoto.html?gPhotoId=71739&gReturnUrl=%2Fgallery%2Fviewalbum.html%3FgAlbumId%3D1772

These patches should be to me by the end of the month. If you are interested:
Each beautiful patch is $3.00 each. If you would like to have one for your very own, send a SASE and $3 for each patch up to three (only 3 will fit in a standard letter envelope with one stamp) and mail it to:

The patch measures 3 3/4" w X 3"h

A fence does not have to be an elaborate or an expensive thing. 2 feet high chicken wire with a few steaks should be enough to keep rabbits out of your garden! Raccoons, chipmunks or cats, not but rabbits, yes.

The link works ok for me now, maybe it was just a clitch.

Mystic Dreamer

But I did not see any slug licking contest!!

So I have not heard any thing about the OR Path tag. Does any one know how it is going? Do we have a path tag yet, what does it look like?

Mystic Dreamer

I am happy to get going on it, I do agree with Maiden it has been 3 months more than enough time to have it designed and done.

Mystic Dreamer

Thanks for letting us know Ku Ku, I will get moving on it and let every one know how things are going.

Mystic Dreamer

The patches came in!!! Every one that has sent in there $$ your patch will be in the mail tomorrow ;-)

I hope to have some ideas for the path tags ready in a couple of days. So I can get every ones input on them.

Mystic Dreamer

The path tags are still in the design phase, since I just recently picked up the ball on them it will take me time to find a design that will work. They will take time to get them from the company once we get things done. Please keep recording your miles we will get a tag to everyone who has earned one as soon as we can get threw the process.

The OR State Patch is done and available to every one who might want one. Does this answer your question?

Mystic Dreamer

I need help deciding on which design to go with, I have came up with 3 different ones let me know which ones you like the best.
