| 17:34.35 | kierra | orange, I 'm going to change my name |
| 17:34.54 | orange | oh? |
| 17:35.13 | kierra | this dog! |
| 17:35.42 | kierra | he's biting the hand that feeds him! |
| 17:35.50 | kierra | not literally |
| 17:37.40 | ndim | * kierra is now known as TheFuriousOne |
| 17:40.27 | gn00bie | ~ kierra is now known as shakierra |
| 17:40.27 | purl | ...but kierra is already something else... |
| 17:40.33 | gn00bie | eh |
| 17:40.40 | gn00bie | but you get the point :D |
| 17:40.43 | ndim | ~kierra |
| 17:40.43 | purl | i heard kierra is The mother who spawned the infamous barons.... and is all together sweet and cute aside of that. |
| 17:42.04 | gn00bie | I learned a lesson today |
| 17:42.23 | gn00bie | just because there is no snow in your city since the last 15 days, does not mean the same holds true for hills south of the city |
| 17:42.40 | ndim | Hehe |
| 17:42.51 | ndim | GTO in the ditch? |
| 17:42.53 | gn00bie | went for what was planned to be a 14km hike with 700 m ascent (and descent), had to give up after 2 km and 200m ascent because of wet feet |
| 17:43.09 | gn00bie | no, GTO was parked at the trailhead |
| 17:43.12 | ndim | wet feet? Put on a pair of shoes next time. |
| 17:43.48 | gn00bie | yes, but the shoes were not meant to hike in 6 inches of snow :( I wore my normal springtime hiking boots thinking no snow |
| 17:43.54 | ndim | 700m ascent in one stretch? |
| 17:44.23 | gn00bie | so get up at 6:30, start hiking at 8:30 and then have to ditch and return to the car at 10:30, it sucks |
| 17:44.28 | ndim | watertight trousers or at least some wrappers around the lower legs are quite convenient. |
| 17:45.07 | orange | kierra: so no substantial progress with the dog? |
| 17:45.17 | ndim | Plastic bags and a little duct tape should do the job, if in a bind... |
| 17:45.20 | gn00bie | ndim: no, 200 up, 150 down in first 4 km, 6 km of rolling hills with minor grade maybe 100 m up and down , last 4 km has 400 m ascent and then 400 m descent |
| 17:45.45 | ndim | gn00bie: Ah, OK. Kind of like our height profiles around here :) |
| 17:45.59 | gn00bie | ndim: yeah, purchased wrappers (called gators around here) on the way back to home from the shopping mall |
| 17:46.22 | gn00bie | ndim: it is a nice day hike, you would like it I think |
| 17:46.39 | ndim | I was not aware that "gator" was a common word for that. I have read that in some catalog or other. |
| 17:46.56 | ndim | 14km is a little short for a day hike :) |
| 17:47.46 | ndim | Around here, the valleys are between 200m and 400m ASL, and the terrain between the valleys between 400m and 600m. |
| 17:48.21 | ndim | Unless you go more than one valley to the west. There, the terrain starts climbing to 800m ASL, and after the next valley it goes almost up to 1000m. |
| 17:48.21 | gn00bie | yeah, only takes about 6 to 7 hours total |
| 17:48.56 | gn00bie | gator is a pretty common word for it, there is a brand that calls itself crocs :D |
| 17:49.07 | ndim | And after the next valley, it goes up to the highest peak of the Northern Black Forest with 1100 something meters ASL. |
| 17:49.23 | gn00bie | highest peak in NYS is the Whiteface I think |
| 17:50.38 | ndim | My last tour started with a bus ride two valleys west. I started in the valley at around 300m, then climbed out of it to about 600m, got down into the next one at about 390m, and then walked up that valley home (420m). 20km in total, half a day. |
| 17:51.16 | gn00bie | ndim: when we go hiking, it is a bunch of people from work with varying fitness levels |
| 17:51.32 | ndim | Highest peak in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg is the Feldberg in the Southern Black Forest at almost 1500m ASL. |
| 17:51.34 | gn00bie | the oldest guy is 78 year old, but he is very very fit for his age |
| 17:52.02 | ndim | I'm thinking about what to do on monday, and possibly tomorrow. |
| 17:52.05 | ndim | Hiking-wise. |
| 17:52.08 | ndim | ~weather EDDS |
| 17:52.38 | ndim | Temps around freezing, and possibly a foot of snow above 600m... |
| 17:53.00 | gn00bie | I like about a 1.5 km drive from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adirondack_Park |
| 17:53.14 | kierra | orange: he does great sometimes |
| 17:53.19 | kierra | most times actually |
| 17:53.32 | gn00bie | does he get an eye patch like a real pirate? |
| 17:53.45 | kierra | he's going outside today....underground fence |
| 17:53.52 | kierra | invisible fence? |
| 17:53.55 | kierra | w/e |
| 17:54.12 | orange | kierra: those are interesting... I've come close to getting one several times, and never did |
| 17:54.25 | orange | cost is usually what held me back... and concerns over irrigation systems :-) |
| 17:54.49 | ndim | gn00bie: Lately, I've been mostly using the bus to the west (to Calw, where Hermann Hesse was born and grew up), and then walked back home about 20km. |
| 17:54.50 | orange | training them young is crucial, for bigger dogs |
| 17:55.23 | gn00bie | ndim: no buses in america, sadly |
| 17:55.40 | orange | gn00bie: I wouldn't go that far :-) |
| 17:55.50 | orange | no buses you want to ride, perhaps |
| 17:55.53 | gn00bie | so you have to either plan your hike as a loop, or have a few cars, so that some park at the start, and some park at the end |
| 17:56.10 | gn00bie | orange: not in upstate NY if you are looking to get to a trailhead :D |
| 17:56.50 | orange | well, that's a different statement ;-) |
| 17:56.55 | gn00bie | kierra: give him an eye patch, and a hook like a real pirate, give him some rum, and I am sure Pirate will be good |
| 17:57.10 | gn00bie | orange: :P |
| 17:57.17 | ndim | Nah. |
| 17:57.23 | ndim | Then he'll not only defecate everywhere, but vomit as well. |
| 17:57.54 | kierra | orange, we had one with seiko, our other dog |
| 17:58.02 | kierra | just had to invest in a smaller collar |
| 17:58.06 | ndim | The bus just goes 20km to the west. I can also take the train. The train goes about 30km east, 30km north, 60km west, and 20km south, and arrives at about the same place a few hours later. |
| 17:58.24 | orange | kierra: that helps |
| 17:58.29 | gn00bie | roflmao, take the train next time |
| 17:58.40 | gn00bie | I love dogs, I think they are very tasty |
| 17:58.40 | kierra | no more mess in the patio :) |
| 18:01.03 | orange | that's the easy way out |
| 18:01.24 | kierra | yep |
| 18:01.54 | ndim | gn00bie: Interestingly, if the 666 bus is in service, I can use it to get rid of the first 3 train legs. |
| 18:02.11 | ndim | The very 666 bus which goes from here to whodaman :) |
| 18:02.38 | gn00bie | hehe |
| 18:02.46 | whodaman | \o/ |
| 18:02.51 | gn00bie | 666 is an interesting number for a bus for sure |
| 18:04.26 | ndim | I think they have a state wide bus number system in place. |
| 18:05.31 | ndim | ~weather KSLK |
| 18:05.57 | ndim | I should start with longer tours. |
| 18:07.04 | ndim | Get used to 30km+ again. |
| 18:07.47 | gn00bie | brb |
| 18:07.50 | ndim | Unfortunately, I like walking east, because then I have sun, wind, rain, and cold mostly in the back. |

| 21:52.29 | ndim | Hmm... what if I made small packages of iron oxide and aluminum as fire starters? |
| 21:52.51 | ndim | A little bit of molen iron should be enough to incinerate even moist branches... |
| 21:52.57 | ndim | s/molen/molten/ |
| 21:52.57 | Winny | hehe |
| 21:54.16 | ndim | I tried my magnesium starter this afternoon. You use a knife to shave shavings off a block of magnesium, and then ignite the shavings with a sparking thing. |
| 21:54.58 | ndim | The problem is twofold: a) The shavings fly everywhere on their own. b) The shavings are carried away by even the slightest breeze of wind. |
| 21:55.17 | ndim | Ergo: I need another way to start a fire. |
