Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.
Congrats Rosie. I certified 23 years ago. I saw a large pacific octopus diving off the east side of Orcas Island in the San Juans. Very cool. Diving is very addictive. Everything took a back seat to diving. Especially when I was living/travelling in the south pacific. Have fun!
Yup! I've ordered a "High Tide" Drysuit. Can't wait for it to come in!! I've got all the rest of my gear, other than tanks (I'll just rent those for a while).
