Newly re-opened?
I went there maybe 5 years ago and it was pretty neat. Better with full suspension though! Also, fun to watch the DH guys basically drop from boulder to boulder.

I think it is a shrew or vole, kinda like a weasel but with reddish eyes. In other words, a freaky thing to bump into late at night if you've had more than 3 beers.

My first thought was small groundhog for sure.... but is that it's black furry tail to its left? groundhogs don't have tails like that. Possums have hairless tails I think. Lets see some urban guidebook schematics!

white stripes was such a good show. too bad it seemed like some of the nickleback fans from the night before stuck around. who yells "go argos!" at an effing concert? sometimes i wonder if some bands/artists secretly hate some of their fans.
that makino went for $785. eff
