DISQUS

What a great, unforgettable trip. I thought I would add a couple of comments in no particular order:

- Out of bounds camping is possible but problematic and could easily be illegal. Don't be surprised if a bear gets a whiff of your yummy ramen and decides to investigate. In that case there is always the Walmart alternative.
- Bring mosquito coils and/or repellent no matter what. The coils were helpful when cragging, especially at Checkamus.
- Definitely bring a tarp or two and enough parachute type cord to rig a shelter especially if you are staying in the campground for an extended period of time. (Thank you Captain Obvious.)
- Beer was outrageously expensive. Think $17 for a six-pack of Molson tallboy cans. Wine was much more reasonably priced.
- If you pass through Boise on your way, stock up at the Boise Co-op. If you are from out of town you get a free 30-day membership, be sure to mention this at the register. Awesome beer selection and fresh food abounds.
- No fires are allowed at the Chief campground.
- If you head to Whistler, be prepared for typical ski-resort prices.
- Don't weave in and out of lanes and cut cars off in the line at the border - it was way satisfying to see a person exhibiting this type of behavior get directed aside for a search at customs.
- A fun day of bouldering can be had by heading north to Pemberton.
- The rivers to the north of Squamish are absolutely beautiful, I would probably bring my old fly rod next time. Licenses (like everything else) were expensive though.
- Next time one goal will be The Ultimate Everything on the Chief.

Lazy my butt, you have been way busy - just because it includes many, many, many hours of climbing doesn't mean it isn't productive. Also, aren't you failing to mention the amount of work you still get accomplished for your part-time gig? Pfffft. Lazy. Hahahaha.

The Wing Coop at 3971 Wasatch Blvd has tasty wings with a variety of sauces, draft beer, and a ski motif, not to be missed if you are in the mood for wings. I happen to know that the WasatchGirl loves wings.....
