Shit that's longer than Ive been alive. Good for you man! I'm hoping my body can keep going until I retire from the military with 20 years and then hopefully work towards a double retirement after that.

 

I am not, but maybe I should be

 

That sounds like an epic road trip in the making!

 

Booked up our next 2 weekends. Heading up to Show Low Sat AM for an overnight campout, then to Zion Ntl Park next weekend for Fri - Sun Camping!!!

 

That should be a great time.

 

From severe weather thread...

This talk about camping in the cool country sounds lovely. We need a TW campout weekend again

 

If you go up to Mt. St. Helen's make a small detour close to the lava caves, I could be wrong but I believe they are called the Ape Caves. Big lava tubes you can crawl through and one very large one that you can hike a couple miles through, nice and cool in the caves as well. Lots of pumice stone around to collect too!

Make sure you hike Angel's Landing at Zion, unless you don't like heights or exposure...then you might shit your pants

 

No, I am almost certain they are called the Ape caves

Edit - yea just Googled it, they are called the Ape caves

 

I have wanted to go and hike Angel's Landing for a while now. It looks great.

 

I want to go back up west of flagstaff between the 40 and 180 by the lava tubes up there. There are tons of forest roads to explore too.

 

It's a great hike with the most spectacular rewarding view at the top, but not a good idea for anyone who is the slightest afraid of heights or exposure. For anyone who wants to hike it, I'd suggest watching a YouTube video of the hike but that will not do it justice at all.

 

Bill come on up to CO Springs, plenty of cool weather at my place up at 9,000 ft plus we can fish my private lake!

 

So just finished a pretty damn good book called "Tribe" by Sebastian Junger. I recommend any veteran read it and any citizen with veteran friends or family do the same.

 

Well hello.

Yes please.

 

Morimoto 2Stroke LED headlight and XB LED fog light pictures. First set is distance, second set at around 30 feet off a wall, and the other two are to show distance/width from different perspectives.
(Top two sets show headlights only in the top photo and fogs in the second.)

I can say they are wide and just as bright as the OE H11 halogens. I was rolling next a new BMW 335 with the BiX and LED DRLs and I was as wide and bright as he was. I overshadowed most of the halogen setups I was driving next to... For 120 bucks, not a bad upgrade for a Gen 3, also, no warm up delay and they will get brighter in the colder months. ( LED chips hit peak efficiency when they are cooled down.)
