I was in 2WD the entire time save a few downhills where I was in 4 LOW to give my brakes a rest. @Hogman and I hit a couple/few torrential downpours on the way home and got some of the dust washed off and got stuck in Sunday afternoon Snoqualmie Pass traffic (Just don't do it). Other than that...

Perhaps trailsoffroad.com, I believe that onX has a new feature to report/request trail status. If there is a ranger station associated with the area you could give them a call or drop by. Recently dropped by a ranger station and found out that part of our route was closed due to fire; they...

Given my overlanding "use case" these are the places that I would stay away from (people/crowds). I think EV overlanding becomes more appealing once the small towns, near the remote areas, become charge capable (and that is happening). Then with EV batteries capable of sufficient range one could...

Totally agree and this is why I think EVs make good sense for "around town" use (as long as the grid can handle it). I am nowhere near convinced that an EV makes sense for the kind of "overlanding" that I do - long distances to remote places; off of the beaten track and away from people. Once...

Here in WA we make power from salmon pate! ;)

I think one would have to consider the throughput of vehicles fueled/recharged. AFAIK the typical gas station is going to service a lot more ICE cars for a given amount of time. Yep, things are transitioning and the tech is improving and I am considering electric for around town; I love the idea...

Can you point us to a study that shows this? I ask because I am genuinely interested. Not going to claim that gas stations are good for the planet but neither is solar panel production (and likely recycling or lack thereof). I wonder if someone has done some sort of analysis comparing these...

Ugh. I apologize for feeding the troll. Lesson learned.

I have never been a part of a group that uses tones on GMRS. I think that the "industry" really muddied the waters by calling them "privacy tones" since they do not provide any privacy; possibly a better name would have been something like "I don't want to hear others tones". As I am sure that...

Every person who commits the heinous crime of a mass shooting is a criminal. This is incorrect. While potentially true in a very limited number of cases saying “all” is an example of a “go to bumper sticker”. When I was a kid we could have firearms in the car at the school parking lot and...

You probably meant magazine and not clip. The word clip refers to a “stripper clip” which is a thin bit of metal with rounds mounted to it that is used to aid in the loading of a firearm.

My brother in law was stalked by and ultimately put down a cougar not too far out in the sticks here in the Pac NW; thankfully he was armed. Two Mt bike riders were attacked and one rider killed by a cougar not 10 miles from where I sit typing this in suburbia (Sammamish). Locals may appreciate...

Google returns tons of applicable looking results. Not being from your area I don't know which are valid.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. I sleep well knowing that the Super Redhawk or his lever gun cousin are ready to send some .454 down range. Whoops, I just gendered a gun, I had better go apologize and tweet some virtue signals!

I don't think a condom would provide much protection against a wild animal attack. To each his own though!

I see that you have been following the Free Candy Overlanding YouTube channel too!

How you doin sweet thang? ;) Would love to do this run - great memories from last summer! Got too much going on in July and it ends with a 10 days on the IBDR bang! We GOTTA do Montana! Later this summer?

If things were different I'd be right there with you! Hope you have a grand time!

I installed HAM into my breakfast Egg McMuffin this morning. Was a smooth install and it worked out very well!

Glad to hear that the WX was agreeable and that you all had a great time! Doing taxes all weekend was was no fun but we did get to spend Sat evening with our daughter and her roommate so that was good. I worked a bit on the canopy's electrical system in solidarity with you all ;)
