    Scout Rover Build

    I finally got the quarter panels off. I didn't want to, but considering the rust under the fuel tanks, and the fact that there are areas that a sand blaster just won't get to otherwise- they had to come off. Next step, removal of the front fender wings, I hope to make them removable to give me...

    US Northwest Montana Ghost Town Rally

    “Abandoned towns are a blast to explore, especially in a state with as much history as Montana. And even though our state is so large, you can hit quite a few of them in a day (or a weekend, which is probably preferable). This road trip through Montana ghost towns will have you leaving from and...

    US Northwest Route of the Hiawatha Bike Ride

    *** UPDATE** Unless we have a volunteer to bring an extra shuttle vehicle, I think those that attend will have to use the Hiawatha shuttle busses. My second vehicle that was going to shuttle us had an engine failure. We are still going- hope to see you there! You’ve said you are going to do...

    Scout Rover Build

    Piece by piece, she's coming apart. Pulled the dash, steering column, and heating system today. I'm still amazed at how many hornet nests I have removed, I must have pulled 5 pounds of them by now!

    Cordless Chainsaw

    I have been looking into an electric battery powered chainsaw for a while, I still haven't pulled the trigger though. I am leaning toward the Kobalt 80 volt unit, as it looks a bit more compact in the main body, has 80 vs 60 volts, and I really need to upgrade my weedeater- and there is a Kobalt...

    US Northwest Elsie Lake

    So glad you and Ellis can make it! Bring the kayak as well, we'll be there with one. My dog officially has been uninvited after being such a brat at McCrosky :).

    Scout Rover Build

    Made some progress on teardown tonight. Pulled a damaged fender, hood, and front nose cover. Luckily I have 2 spare front clips! I also pulled one fuel tank and removed a good 5 pounds of dirt packed around the tank. The radiator shows signs of leaking, so I pulled it as well. I also have...

    Scout Rover Build

    I guess a handshake isn't worth what it used to be. After weeks of dealing with excuse after excuse, and wasting several Saturdays I called the sale off and the seller went ballistic. THEN I found out he didn't have the title and was never the legal owner of the vehicle. Go figure! Moving on...

    Gaia or....

    You should look at the number of requests for Windows 10 compatibility on Gaia's tech support page. All I'm saying is tablets aren't getting simpler or less capable. Doubting that there will be many out there in 5 years that aren't running a full operating system of Window or IOS. Gaia needs to...

    What tablets will Gaia GPS work on?

    My 2 cents.... I love my Microsoft Surface Pro tablet, and I can map out my track using GAIA GPS, but you can't run the active GIA APP on Windows 10. It seems kinda stupid. I ended up using Bing maps with an external US Globalsat GPS receiver. Works well if you don't need much map detail. GAIA...
