Looks like the place hasn't changed much.
Sorry Sidewinder. Our plans also fell through this weekend at the last moment. I feel bad for not posting in advance, but since the whole hang fell apart (again) I feel slightly better not being the...
So who is still going to go?
I don't think we'll need to. I forgot we made it back there in my wife's car and it's pretty low. Plus I don't wan to hold you up since we wont be taking friday off. not sure exactly when we'll be...
I made sure the dates worked and we had nothing going on that weekend, and my wife is actually gonna come with me. I talked to my brother and he wants to come to, but they just bought a house so they...
Yeah, guilty.
Yeah, I'm interested. I'll run the dates by my boss (wife) to see if they work fine. Honestly I forgot all about it, but it should be fun.

I made a video of a lava tube tour we did and even with the open door on I had to boost the audio by 24 decibles(sp?)
Hey phillipsart, can you take a low light video and post it on youtube? I have the original hero and am interested in getting the hero 2. I heard they improved the low light capabilities in the...
Dang that was cool. The animals really helped to make it feel exotic.
Hawk Eye pretty much has it right with the go pro. I used it as a documentary type camera on my Yosemite trip last year as I didn't want to carry a third camera. Here's the last video in the series,...
Cool, I look forward to your vids. Even in the rain you should constantly monitor the lens dome tho because little drops tend to stick there and they become visible in your footage. just use a...
Sorry I wasn't prepared correctly to stay all day. Good to know that I ultimately made the right decision to bail though. I'm glad that it all worked out for you though, and I'm jealous that you got...
I've owned my GoPro for over a year now and I actually just weighed the camera, housing, tripod mount, and a battery. It all came to 6.5 oz. The sound is a problem if you are looking for high quality...
There's a Sierra Club Logbook at the top of the Black Buttes to sign and read. The top has expansive views of the area and only takes about an hour to reach from the lake. I also recommend taking the...
Hopefully Meld grabbed your tree straps for you, but mabey he washed away in a flash flood. I hope not! I have to agree with Cardo, I live in California for a reason.
I wussed out and bailed. I forgot my hiking boots and only had my five fingers, which began to fall apart. I bought them on monday, so they will be going back. We were supposed to do 4 miles (I...
Sounds like it will be interesting at the least. Looks like I'll be coming in early Saturday Morning. My stove broke trying to clean it so I will have to make another one and I've been lazy with...
No kidding, I might get to use a poncho i've had for years but never used. It probably wont work and I'll be miserable hiking but it an excuse none-the-less.
I haven't yet decided if I want to fight my way through the city friday night, or leave early saturday morning. I'll update soon.
As far as I know it's still on nd I'm planning on going, so it will at least be one (myself), but I have to leave for work and I can't look up the part about dogs and leashes, sorry. Look forward to...
You should come, finding a spot to hang might be a challenge but if we pull off unusual hangs it makes it fun.
Thank you everyone for the kind words, and with alittle schooling I can only get better. I'm currently in Dillan's beach and the view from our vacation rental is something else. I'll stitch together...
Group photo! From left to right: gRaFFiX (me) – Cardo – Nancy (holding Susie Q) – E.A.Y. (Liz) – Meld – OneThing – Amity – and dblhmmck. Late on Saturday afternoon, we had all finally arrived and...
I'll bring some cash, but whoever ordered the steak and lobster is paying for it themselves.....
Terrible, and my wife bought me snowshoes this year. Stupid me for thinking Cali would have snow.
Don't worry about buying a hammock just yet, we're car camping this coming weekend and I for one would be fine showing you my hammock setup as I'm sure anyone else going would too. think about it,...
You're really close to our group hang this weekend (2nd -4th). check out our group hangs for this coming month here and here.
been in the mid 70's most of February here in Norther California. I know the stereotypes but that's unusual even around here. I believe you'd have to go as far south as San Diego for that kinda...
I wont be coming into camp until saturday morning. I typically spend Friday nights with my family and this week is pretty stressed since both my wife and I have to study for exams for Thursday so I...
Are we car camping here? I fail to see what trail we are doing?
Can we do a short summary of what we are doing for both NOR*CAL hangs (when,where,how many,car camp vs. backpack and hang,etc...) It may be just me but I am starting to get the two blurred and...
Your location says SF bay area, how will it take you 3.5 hours to get to Clear lake? Mabey it's not outside the relm of possibility but that seems excessive since I can drive to SF from Sac in under...
Google map should help you orient yourself. I'm coming from Sacramento and would normally take 16 to clear lake, but I think I will go from 80 through Napa and Calistoga. It's a more interesting...
Absolutely, i think i even got poison oak on my belly and wrists, tho not bad at all. still was alot of fun that the others missed out on.
I just found this thread. Looks good to me. it's an easy hike, but will be fun for a hang.
I just got mine in the mail last night. Looks great and is pretty special. Thanks Dejoha!
Just ordered my copy, thanks Dejoha. I got it with Ed Speer's book too, so now I'll have the Old Testament and the New Testament!
This thread was not what I was hoping it would be, but I'm glad she liked it in the end.
I just remembered (was reminded by my wife) that we are going to Dillan's Beach for a weekend getaway - a friend of the family has a vacation home and we are getting to stay for the weekend of the...
Ok, I'm just getting back to HF after talking to EAY a while ago, I just seem to be so busy lately, anyways, OneThing, the pics are great, and I think the area is prime location. I'll definitely...
Good to hear from you Liz. Mad dad is infinately funnier than me. Mabey someday we can get another hang goin.
I know, I know, but you guys really have no idea how bad my dad was doin. whole...
It's on my NETFLIX queue, so I'll watch and get back to ya on that. Thought about equilibrium or american psycho too.
No problemo, it was alot of fun. I wish I remembered to get some footage...
mabey, i'll get a batman costume and do a vid just for you then. mabey... could be fun.
that was really smart of the cubs to set up the camera like that.
The problem was I only used my hammock the first few nights (when you did see it) and i slept.... well that's not important where i slept other than to say it wasn't in my hammock. I will say that I...

Sometimes I put up my tarp soley to use my tarp flyz. *sigh* I wish that weren't the truth.
Thanks guys. I forgot to mention that we will be covering 70+ miles on this hike. I definitely will be taking lots of pictures. This is sorta a backcountry photography week, at least for my dad and I...
