Just an update for fellow headache sufferers. After more trials and research, it appears that the headaches are a rare form of shingles that manifests in the sinuses and probably around the optic nerve. A round of valacyclovir knocked them within 24 hours but after the first course they...

Around here high wind warnings start at about 50mph probably a half dozen times a year and we regularly see at least one event over 100mph every year. I remember a line of about 50 semi trucks parked on the side of I25 north of Fort Collins. Parked is a misnomer. They were parked, when I saw...

Nice places to visit, horrible places to camp if you want peace and quiet with out being surrounded by people. Try taking a scenic pix without 5 tourists or vehicles in it ;-) Any pix I take tend to be before or just after sunrise. Sunset is a crap shoot. Not saying don't go, but unless...

I used to have a pix in my signature and links to my build pages. Some time back this was limited. As long as I didn't try to edit my signature, it stayed fine. As soon as I tried to edit it, it wouldn't let me save with more than one link and no pix. I have given up and accepted that things...

I am going cabin crazy. It has been a year since I was out.

Not really but I watched several trip videos. (1) Hole in the Rock Trail - Three Day Offroad Trip in Southern Utah - YouTube

I need a week or two to see how the employment situation shakes out. I might be doing a change. Are you thinking about a LONG weekend? I figure a day to get there, a day to get to the campground, a day to run out to the end and back to the campground, and then a LONG day to get home.

Do you guys stay in an organized campground and work from there? I have worked with NAXJA and done Buena Vista for a week for almost 20 years. Lots of neat trails but it has gotten a bit stale having run most over a dozen times.

Are you 4wd? I can get my trailer to the point where many spend the night, but until I get a few more trails under my belt with it, That is about as far as I am willing to drag it. That makes for a long day out to the end and back. From the videos I was able to see, 4wd is pretty much...

I would be interested. This is one of the few trails I haven't done in Moab. I have led dozens of hardcore trails in Moab but I need to do some research. Were you thinking about doing a base camp and running the trail with no trailers and gear, or running it with trailers. I have decades of...

MARCH is the snowiest month of the year

Winter camping in Colorado can easily yield -30f temps. Are you ready for that? Camping spots are few and far between. Unless you are a seasoned winter person, wait until at least late spring (MAY)

I got my snorkel over 20 years ago due to clogged air filters. At the time I was running a puny 2.5L 4 banger. I was able to notice a 4mph increase in top end and even fuel economy. I credit it to the ram effect. I have kept is on the rig as everything has been updated (4.7L Stroker). I...

Bead locks are for serious rock crawling only. They are a PIA to maintain and keep from leaking. They are not highway friendly for wear or safety. I have done rock crawling for over 20 years and done all the toughest trails in Moab. I have never run or needed bead locks. Yes on EXTREME rock...

I have a thermostaticly controlled diesel forced air heater for my teardrop. I just carry a comforter.

I found a hot chick in the bag with you really helps. The wife and I shared a bag for years.

My kids called me a Luddite. I guess they learned something in college.

I absolutely hate devices that talk to you.

I normally pack a small propane grill since burning bans are routine anymore.
