MARYLAND TACOMAS

Looks like there are plans to add express toll lanes to 495, 270 and BW pkwy...

Traffic studies in the past don’t really favor adding lanes as a solution, but only time will tell if this $$$ spent really alleviates us.

 

lanes would help. lanes that cost $$$ to drive in dont help

 

Nope.

 

Oh great as if 270 traffic isn't already fucked up and how would they add toll lanes to it especially north of Germantown when there's only 2 lanes in either direction

 

The Mid county toll was a waste of money the last time I used it nobody was hardly on it of course it was off peak hours but when I used travel down that for work nobody used then

 

Congress ordered an extensive study back in 2012 on what would happen if they did add just one extra lane.

The problem isn’t solved in that extra lane(s) because cars just can’t appear in these highways without entering/exiting from smaller roads to begin with.

Thus causing congestion whenever these entry/exit ramps appear.

Let’s not forget the DMV is infested with transplanted idiots who can’t drive in rain/snow and use their vacation days to camp out in the left lane!!!

 

People who say/wave hi back are rare!

 

Past two days after work I finally got around to truck chores. Installed the Yukon 4:88s, new axle seals, and new extended brake lines. Should have re-geared years ago, wow what a difference. Truck actually moves in 5th now and the power gain is great. Now on to the front set....

 

Anyone interested in trading a Tacoma for my buddy's Nissan Laurel?

Welcome to the forum and Md thread!

 

I'm happy (not really) to report that Green Ridge is nothing but a dust bowl right now. They've graded a bunch of places and gotten rid of some puddles. Plus most are dried up by this time of year.

Ran into a mother and three cubs while taking pictures. Nearly shit myself.

Ran into several dual sport riders, go fucking figure, i'm in the truck.

 

FIFY ??

 

Pretty much

 

My instagram story has video and pictures of the adventure. I stayed on the southern 50% of the park today. Trying to get all of it mapped in my head.

 

Wheels and tires officially up for sale. 5 tires, one brand new never mounted, other 4 are mounted and balanced with 5200 miles on them. 285/70/17 BFG KO2 on 17x8 FX Pro wheels with 2 different center caps included, black lugs and wheel key also included. $1900 local

 

i need to go up there and start driving around, the only time ive been to green ridge was camping, and usually never got to explore the trails.

 

There are maybe a dozen roads that are actually rough. But the scenery is pretty awesome. Every time i go down there i find shit i didn't know was there.

Found an old closed tunnel off of Kasecamp. Pretty neat to look at from a distance. Also one of the powerline trails down there was open. Talk about a rough motherfucker.

 

yeah. i need to take a weekend and a bunch of gas and just go for a drive with a map or a GPS that has the topo for the park, now that im lifted unless theres giant boulders im pretty confident i wont get stuck.

 

I'd recommend at least a good AT. And avoid the mud holes on Twigg Rd.

I burnt maybe a quarter tank riding around for like 4.5-5hrs. I also drive like you do at stage in the Focus lol

There are some places my GPS just says, "Driving south" or "Driving North" etc. because it has no idea.

 

and stop at the ranger station and get a map, that is almost mandatory for a newb at GR
