    This [truck] climbed Mt. Washington

    Thank you! Scout is happiest when running down rabbits, but places like this are a very close second place for him! Here he is in the truck before we headed back down

    This [truck] climbed Mt. Washington

    This is the most prominent mountain east of the Mississippi River in the United States and there are deaths reported here just about annually. Mostly hikers who were unprepared. The weather can be 80 degrees Fahrenheit at the base and below freezing at the summit. 50 mph winds are common. The...

    This [truck] climbed Mt. Washington

    Fastest winds on earth and some of the least predictable weather make this a tough hike even though it is "only" a little over 6 thousand feet. See the chains at the right in this picture. There are 3 of them wrapped over the gift shop and spiked into solid rock on either side. To keep the place...

    This [truck] climbed Mt. Washington

    The Mount Washington Auto Road in New Hampshire has been reopened for a while now. Although I've hiked a number of mountains in the Presidential Range, I've not ever driven up the Mt. Washington Auto Rd. Well, now I have. And my trusty copilot, Scout the Thundah Beagle was with me.

    North Maine Woods Campsites

    Even going to places in Maine that are ON the beaten path, it is nice: Portland, Mt. Desert Island/ Bar Harbor/ Cadillac Mountain, L. L. Bean. Then you get a little off the beaten path kayaking and camping along the Saco River or going along the Appalachian Trail. I'll be interested in opening...

    Chevy Silverado

    Um, once the Ford Bronco Sasquatch editions are out on the street, I guess you'll have to roll up next to one and show 'em what a real sasquatch looks like.

    Chevy Silverado

    Truck looks good! I just did Bilstien 5100's all around and they sure do make a difference. A lot more controlled ride. I would guess the Honda Element is pretty good for car camping. The most efficient shape fo stuffing stuff into is a cube, and it's pretty close to a cube. I think it was used...

    Chevy Silverado

    We take GMC Sierra's here, too! I'm one of them. Nice truck and really nice scenery! I try to keep my stuff as stock as possible just so I dont have keep track of all the different parts and for availability of parts. I say that having just installed Bilstein 5100's all the way around with more...

    Chevy Silverado

    ROARINROW, Had the dealership do the oil change. I'll probably do that a lot with this Active Fuel Management / Cylinder Deactivation engine. That way itll be on them if the AFM fails...anyway, they did a once-over and the tech says the brake disks are good (they did look good, but he...

    Adirondacks, NY

    Lived in the Saratoga Springs/ Lake George area and spent a fair amount of my free time wandering the local hills and trails. Absolutely beautiful in the autumn. I would advise everyone to go see the Balloon Festival at least once

    Adirondacks, NY

    Also a big fan of the Adirondacks. Lived in Washington County for about 7 years as a kid and young man back in the 1980's. I didnt know it then, but it was a great time.

    US East Central NH Rigs and Brew (finally)

    And I've WATCHED the thread for the entire eastern seaboard to monitor for these types of things. Now...If only there were a division so that folks in the Northeast didnt have to wade through meetup notifications and threads for over 2,000 miles of coastline, and could focus on Northeast...
