With most neophytes, their first inclination is to get a run at it and do a big yank. That is actually the last thing you want to do. More bumpers are damaged (torn off of vehicles) that way. Unless the bumper is specifically designed as a tow point or it was made before 1950, never use the...

I was surprised you were able to memorize the script that fast :blush:

You can forget TinCup for this year according to the Forrest Service. The have had severe avalanche damage and a good portion of the road has been damaged. Last report I got, they thought it would be hard to even get to the damage due to the amount of snow, much less be able to get it fixed...

Rather than a ton of money on a lift, start with the basics. Good recovery points, and undercarriage protection. Make sure you have good recovery equipment such as tow straps, and if depending on where you are, maybe traction boards or tire chains. Spend the rest on actually getting out and...

I love how it is suddenly new and called Keto. I was hypoglycemic for 30 years before becoming diabetic. I have lived on a low carb high protein regimen for 40+ years. Going into ketosis can be fun for the first 3-4 days but the protein will curb your cravings. I feel much better on low...

I am running a new ASUS folding laptop with touch screen, You fold the screen over and it is like a tablet. It is about a half inch thick. It is running a fast CORE i7 and is fast as hell. It lasts 8 hours on a battery charge. Mine came with a solid state 1tb drive and 24 gig of memory...

Welcome from Northern Colorado. While I am away on business, I live in Loveland. Hope to have some meet & greets this summer.

If I am correct, you will need to locate a local repeater that is EchoLink capable. You would then check its status and use the keypad to put in the link number in the first post.

Here is a pix I lifted from the creepersjeepers.com jeep club website. They are a great bunch of folks with a well deserved reputation. If you are ever in their area, check them out. At least visit their website. This pix appears to be on the road out of Silverton, but not yet to the real...

Here is a link to the Forrest Service page showing supposedly up to date road status. https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/sanjuan/maps-pubs/?cid=fsbdev3_002300

For those who want to keep up to date, check out www.bushducks.com. It has input from actual travelers and people in the know. It also provides direct phone numbers to the relevant agencies that should know further. No doubt they will get plenty tired of answering their phones this spring and...

I hate to break the bad news but the snowpack this year is record breaking. On over the whole state of Colorado, we are at 193% of average and the San Juan's (southwest Colorado) are at 302%. Current reports are that the road from Silverton to Animus Forks (part of the Alpine Loop) may not...

Got my new vanity call sign WØNUT

I've carried an Old Timer like that every day for almost 50 years. It is getting pretty worn and the blades are very stained.

It is still showing pending on the FCC site search. What do you mean red-lighted? I just wanted to order some stuff with the new call sign on it and was hoping to get it on the way.

How long did it take the FCC to grant yours from the time you filled out the application? I did mine two weeks ago.

I LOVE THIS THREAD. You guys laugh about knowing about this place, but I haven't stayed married 44 years without learning a few survival tips. I married a city girl. She begrudgingly accompanies me on my wanderings. I have to make sure to have regularly scheduled pampering, feeding, and...

If you go through Ouray, stop at the local Chocolatier down town. They have great coffee in the morning. Pick up a couple of their scrap cookies. They are loaded with the chocolate leavings from the previous day and are around a half pound. That should placate the female gender. There is...

I'm surprised it didn't last indefinitely if you were recharging while driving.
