    Wheeling/overlanding solo

    I have been "overlanding" for over 50 years by myself (pack horses/backpacking/4wd). I am always extremely prepared for just about anything. I have never been where I had to call for help and I have a habit of doing all the obscure trails in Colorado. I am not saying that I did not have to...

    Rock climbing/ Bouldering

    I spent decades technical climbing all over Colorado. Been up Longs Peak 28 times and only once was it a non technical route. Loved climbing it in the middle of the winter. That was 40 years ago.

    Type 1 Diabetes & The Wild

    I am insulin dependent. I have to plan my meals at home, so hearing people grench about preplanning for a trip, makes me laugh. It is harder on a trip because your blood sugar is not solely controlled by the amount and type of food you eat. Stress, sleep changes, and varying energy...

    Trend Shift! From LED to Halogen: what say you?

    My frustration with my LED lights is that they ice over and their pattern does not cut off vertically very well, blinding oncoming traffic. Efficiency is great but I am thinkin of adding some resistors inside the housing to melt the ice, killing the efficiency.

    MT Rainer came out for a day.

    You know what they say... If you look out and can see Mt. Ranier...that means it is going to rain. If you look out and can't see it....it means it is raining.

    Chinese parking heater

    I love my diesel heater. Mine is the same heater without the case and I mounted it in my teardrop. The city girl I married likes it. Just for info, a 105 AH battery can run a 1000w heater for only about an hour before getting so low it is bad for the battery, so storing energy in batteries...

    Engineer Pass/Ouray/Silverton trail questions

    Yes, what you are describing is what is commonly called the Alpine Loop. I agree on the day 2 that Prerruner1982 proposed. Or optionally, Black Bear/Imogene loop.
