From my understanding only 4% of the people labeled insane in Arizona were blocked from owning guns. That is a problem. There is no question that we have constitutional rights to own a firearm but there must be sensible legislation that prevents certain people in society from owning them. The NRA recently fought a law that would prevent those listed on the Terrorist Watch list from owning orby LeeVining - General Discussion

I also know Linda Dore in Lee Vining, she and her husband are really awesome with climbing so I have thought about going out with them.by LeeVining - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Ya, I was kind of kidding about "outgrowing' it.... Unfortunately I live in Indiana......I am not near as terrified of heights around here due to all the tree cover, and of course nothing near the extreme height. I have plans to move out west and if and when that happens I will DEFINITELY be taking a beginners course. I know I can overcome the fear by challenging it head on and the onlby LeeVining - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I wish I weren't so terrified of heights or I would do this in a second! I almost died on Lembert Dome I'm only 28..perhaps I will outgrow this!by LeeVining - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

It sucks Tioga wasn't open! Indiana University has a Geology Field course going on right now at SNARL (Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Lab) near Mammoth and couldn't make it over :\ Unfortunately they leave tomorrowby LeeVining - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
I don't understand why everyone is so hard on this idea..I have seen a lot of research (on the internet mind you) from individuals who have went to both sites, photos, and videos etc and I just don't see how a conspiracy to fake this type of thing could stand this long...BUT...I guess I don't believe in it with 100% of my being either....As a lonely boy from Indiana who longs for the Sierra I amby LeeVining - Backpacking and Hiking Yosemite and the Sierra

Man..That is rough!!! but I guess it will help solve some of the problem...I can't help but think that they will eventually compromise and have a system for individuals to get a pass the day or day before their trip...at least I hope so!by LeeVining - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

QuoteFrank Furter Reminds me of the controversy about whether a person can see Half Dome from Turlock.. What is the controversy?? I am not from the area so fill me in!! It did peak my interest a bit and I found these pretty amazing photos taken of Half Dome from the Central Valley (if they are real..they almost look too good to be true lol) http://www.flickr.com/photos/trimmoos/3294080995/by LeeVining - General Discussion
Beautiful! This was my 1st ever view of Half Dome!by LeeVining - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
It was also because there was a massive amount of uplift due to a piece of the lower mantle that fell off thereby buoying up the spine of the Sierra....This much steeper grade allows gravity to work much more to the waters advantage with erosion... I would agree this special really was pretty well done....It went much deeper into the Geology than any documentary I have watched thus far on Yoseby LeeVining - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
