Used to love to dive. British Virgin Islands, Cozumel and Grand Cayman were my favorites. Took my daughter on a dive boat for a week for her high school graduation present. Started having trouble clearing my ears so haven't done it in a few years now. BWTF no diving in Colorado anyway. Another thing you don't do stoned is play golf. ha ha

so putembk, what would be a good 14,000 peak to climb if you're a flat lander like me. last time i was in colorado i couldn't even drive to the top of pikes peak, my wife freaked at the tree line, well she freaked right when we got on the moutain but she really freaked at tree line. the whole time i was there the moutains were calling me to get up on their asses. next time i/m there i'd really like to do some hiking. Can you walk up pikes peak?
yeah golfing stoned don't work for me anymore either. use to do a bunch of blow on the course, thought i was great, but i'm sure now i wasn't....

Bierstadt and Torreys are the two easiest imo. Longs peak is another favorite in Colorado. Do this in August or early Sept. I like a full moon assent. I leave the trail head just after midnight and get to the top in time for the sunrise. Smoking a joint at sunrise on the top of a 14er is an experience to remember.

Agree totally Sky, need BIG storms in March and April. The farmers out east are in terrible shape. We are sending all of our water out of state. Politicians sold our water rights in 1922 and the state is slowly drying up. Now we're in the middle of another drought and things are really fucked up. Happy Fishing.

Yeah, it's as good as the first bowl after scuba diving. BTW, do NOT smoke before diving, the buzz from nitrogen narcissistic is enough to deal with.

I Was diving at san nicholas island 15 years ago and had an accident at depth which resulted in the bends,I actually came up unconcious and the divemaster(a friend)grabbed me.The nearest chamber was at catalina island,a long copter ride away so i did the next best thing,i smoked 1/2 a J,drank a bottle of water,grabbed a new tank and went back down to 60' and deco'ed myself,ended up with a bad case of skin bends,im pretty sure the weed helped if not saved me,lol.You two ever make it to cali and ill gladly take you out diving on my boat to the channel islands,ive dove alot of places around the world and its the best diving there is for sure.I rarely scuba anymore as i took up freediving,i dont think ive made a dive in years without a speargun in my hand,i love to fish and hunt and this combines both.just looked in my log book,thousand+ dives on scuba and who knows freediving,has to be ten thousand if you count each desecent/ascent though.

Just heard that Denver Water is going to drain Antero Reservoir this spring because of the on going drought. The last time they drained the lake was for dam repairs and the S Platte that connects Antero and Spinney was full of huge fish. I am positive the same thing will happen again. The Division of Wildlife will try and net and relocate as many fish as they can but once they really start draining the lake hundreds of fish will get sucked through the dam into the river below. If you are into fly fishing this is something that you shouldn't miss out on. The lake itself will go from 2 fish limit to 8 so lake fishing will also be very good for both spin and fly fishing. The ice should be coming off in the next few weeks so it's time to get the rod out and get up there. I know the area well and thinking we should put together a trip of fishing farmers . We could caravan up or meet at the lake for a day of fishing and smoking. If you have never caught a big fish on a fly rod this is your chance. WHO IS IN ON THIS?
