    Beast - otherwise known as well that didn't go as planned

    It’s my understanding that one of the theories as to why helicopters can fly is that they vibrate so violently that the earth rejects it. :tongueclosed:

    Harbor Freight Bottle Jack

    Brennan’s Garage developed a jack they call the “Tauler Jack”, an alternative to a hi-lift. Don’t have one, but think it’s interesting https://brennans-garage.com/products/tauler-jack-kit

    Anyone from Annapolis or Edgewater MD

    Greenbelt is a community/ area in MD in Prince Georges County on the north east side of DC. It may have been green many, many years ago, but now is a highly developed area.

    Propane Fire Pit

    Seems a little salty to me for price, but that's only my opinion. I bought an Outland Living from Costco last year for around $100. It's about 19" dia. Used it once and it was great, but I've realized it really is too big to pack in the Jeep. Great on the patio, though! I was happy with the...

    Mid Atlantic Tn-Ny

    You’re likely to get some pinstriping on some of the route through Washington/ Jefferson Nat Forests in VA and WV. Most of the route through MD ( except for Greenridge State Forest) and the eastern panhandle of WV is paved. Not much gravel or public land through there.

    Battery Creep. Humor, depression and success.

    I enjoyed your write-up. As one whose mind only works in the mechanical realm, I hate electrical gremlins.

    Camping Plan

    I frequent use the Nat Forest interactive map ( Forest Service Visitor Map ) and Gaia to give myself an idea of areas to explore, then just wing it. I’d guess about 80% of the forest roads in the GW, Jefferson and Mon forests are groomed gravel. At least the one‘s that are open for more than...

    Weekend in northern WV/Virginia Advice

    With a pass to the park, I would recommend parking at the visitor center and taking the shuttle bus to the old town area. Much easier parking. The train station lot gets filled very quickly.

    Weekend in northern WV/Virginia Advice

    Spruce Knob isn’t that far away, highest elevation in WV. There’s dispersed camping around on the Nat Forest roads. Whitmer Rd in the Potomac Wildlife Mngmt Area and FS 17 in the Little River Wildlife Mngmt Area, to name a couple. Second Mt is nice, too. It’s on the north side of Rt 33 from...

    I’m not an overlander because I don’t video every water crossing, puddle splash or coffee brewing….
