What's a restance?

What's a restance?

That’s when you take a stance. Twice.

What's a restance?

Aw nutz.
If you haven't figured it out, it should say 'resistance'.

I like restance better.

Good guess, but no, actually a "restance" was a French guy who said there weren't really any Nazis and Hitler was just a bogeyman the Vichy regime made up to scare the people into obedience.

Perhaps it takes a goring by a Bison, for a Florida man to learn consequences.

Yep. Yep, yep, yep, yep. I seen this at Yosemite too. "Let's see how close we can get to the bear.
Some people shouldn't be allowed outside.

I think the bigger problem at Yosemite is morons getting too close to waterfalls and going over the edge. A friend of mine actually watched a guy go over Nevada Falls a few years ago. It traumatized her for quite a while after.

Vernal and Nevada Falls are quietly two of the most voracious killers in the park. The pools at the top are deceptively calm looking in the dry season.

Slipping and falling on the slick rocks below is also a common instigating incident for fatal injuries.

Nietzsche is overrated, imo.

Not at all surprised. Wet rock has absolutely terrible traction and thus poses a substantial fall danger.

Yes, and once you're underwater, the extreme cold, disorientation, and rapid currents extend the danger. When we take students up that way, safety is taken very, very seriously.

You lead hikes up the Mist Trail?

After a fashion. Our Anthro, Bio and/or Geology depts do joint weekend field trips from time to time. Mornings are for traditional lecture and whatever formal activities we might be doing, usually assisting park researchers with whatever they're doing. Afternoons are free time, but we try to make sure we know what everyone is planning to do, and one of our instructors or experienced volunteers goes along if a group is tackling one of the more involved hikes. In general, well... our students are mostly adults, but not necessarily woodsy adults. We quietly chaperone as many groups as we have the numbers to.

The Mist Trail is not that bad. I've hiked it many times. You WILL get wet, but if you stay on path and step carefully and use the handrails, you'll be fine. Its really a pretty enjoyable, beautiful hike. Most injuries and deaths seem to happen when people foolishly defy the many warning signs in the park. At the top of the Mist Trail is Vernal Falls. Again, just stay behind the rails. A few years ago, three young people all went over the waterfall at once when they went beyond the rail to take pictures and fool around. People who were watching them saw the look of total horror on their faces as the went over the edge.

Thanks. I'm prepared for wet conditions, and I won't be doing anything stupid at the top. I'm (hopefully) going to the top of Half Dome in a few months, and I can always use intel from people who are familiar with the trail.

Yes, I won the permit lottery.
