The Spanish, Russians, and British charted the coastline throughout the 1700’s and 1800’s. The Russians only gave a shit about shooting otters for furs. And shooting Inuit for fun. Once they wiped out all the otters between Alaska and San Francisco, they pretty much pulled up stakes and sold Alaska to The USA as a big Fuck You to the British which was colonizing Canada. The Russian Empire wanted a buffer between Siberia and the British. The War with Mexico added pretty much everything north of the Rio Grande to the US. The Gadsen Purchase added a bit more land in Southern Arizona to build a railroad. This is a short-ass version of history. I left out the Indian Wars and the near extinction of the deer and elk herds.

If its sold out than it doesn't matter. They price what they can get away with. Eat the rich if you want to reduce prices. They will pay if they got the money.

Howdy neighbor!

Gah, it posted when I went to type this. Go figure!

Go to the link below and call the appropriate number for your closest L&I office. They're quite good at this sort of thing and will be happy to speak with you.

if what you say is true, this is both a state and federal crime.

you should document and report to L&I immediately, and should also consider reporting to the IRS.

then expect all hell to rain down.

and retaliation. make sure you have all your evidence together and well documented as the company will likely try to separate you quickly.

The tattoo on my bicep is based on that peak. Really great memories while growing up in the Skykomish River area(near Gold Bar)

I was riding long before driving but unfortunately horse costs are even worse than fuel/maintenance for vehicles

i might start riding a horse at this point 😂

I think legally it’s supposed to be but many people do it with people who’ve had it less than that

God. I need to just move to Washington already. So incredibly beautiful.

Just lower state sales tax.

Less overhead, less bloat.

Be sure to get the enhanced drivers license if they're not already requiring it. Eventually it will be required for everyone. Getting now will save you later.

It does look like a part of the Tetons from the Tetonia side, about 1/3 of the Tetons. I’ll be driving by there next week.

I live 25 miles north of kettle falls, love it. Best area in Washington state. Hopefully a recession stops people from moving in.

I didn't see the Washington part either, was thinking Alberta. So I was actually wrong twice 😂

I think you're thinking of 3 fingers but this actually isn't it

Everything in Washington state is too expensive now

Crazy expensive, few large promoters, but also bands/artist that nowadays (need to) make their money from shows, as record sales are gone, and streaming doesn’t pay them that much. Forces many out in the road. And as long as people are paying…

Still, I wouldn’t pay more than $100 (tops) for a true act I really wanted to see there (hasn’t been one in years).

It was yesterday!

I’m glad I saw the Black Angels for $20. Last time I went it was around $40. That was just the one band though.

I could see a venue of several bands for $100-$150 at the Gorge but over $300 is too pricey for me.

Pay a little more and you can go to Asia for two weeks.

I remembered reading it while researching the route before hiking it.
A quick google search pulled up summitpost.org’s list.

Cool!

Nice! Thank you internet stranger.
