What questions do you have?
What season are you doing this in?
I did this last summer in May, it was very hot.
we left at 11pm and it was 103 degrees
did people get mad at you
No, everyone was surprisingly very welcoming. I have harnessed my autism somewhat, such that I reflexively smile when I make eye contact with someone. I usually disarms people and I generally have pleasant interactions in life.
Whitney would have needed a permit and we didn't want to deal with that. We later heard there was no one checking permits up there last summer because the parks was low on staff, sucks I guess, but out goal wasn't Whitney or Langley, it was the ocean.
He said high attitude sickness, it was a joke.
Cool, well done 😉
Those tarps on the cars isn't that to stop animals from getting in and eating hoses and the like.
Yeah, there was a section of the video where we surmised the same. Apparently the marmots will chew through wires to drink radiator fluid.
You are correct, noticed that you mentioned it shortly thereafter.
Wait what, to drink radiator fluid O.o wtf
Wouldn't that hurt them
Animals drink radiator fluid because it tastes sweet even though it’s poison.
Hmm, I had no idea.
Do you guys ever want to try radiator fluid or lead or antifreeze some day? I think when I'm really old (so a little of something won't give me cancer forever from then) I want to taste a little of all those things. Just to know...
good luck
take water
