Exploring New England's natural beauty - The waterfall tour/camping trip extravaganza! June 22- 24

Nice choice, grab 3 at a time.

 

Well, my conciliation prize (for not going on this adventure) was a quick trip to Moosehead. Loaded truck Friday night, drove up Saturday morning, set up camp and in the water. Tore down camp this morning, some swimming in the water then drove up the west side of the lake and over to Jackman. Awesome ride.

 

Please tell me you're going fishing up there. In 3 years I get one more week of vacation from work and that is exactly how I'm using that one week. Monster fish.

 

And make sure you get all the cracks and crevices.

I hear this is good for your hemorrhoids too Dave.

 

out past Long pond?
making me 2nd homesick

 

So I'm sure you have seen the trains and the plane crash not too far from there.

 

Yes first time over that way. Might check it out more next time up.

Been to the B-52 site a bunch of times, have not made it to the trains yet.

 

Ok people the get this week over with. I wonder how much crap I'm gonna screw up this week...

 

Are those all the stops?

 

@WinSlow939 are you coming too? I see you in here, but not on the list?

 

Your truck seems unreliable.

 

Truck is good. Driver is unreliable.

But he takes meds for that.




My 14 year old truck has always served me well.

Every time I wheel, it’s the trucks around me that seem to break down and need assistance with the fix. The past 3 years, so far, for field repairs, I’ve come across: a complete DS replacement, a DS U-joint replacement, 2 CV axle replacement, one rear Diff bashed, one electric t-case actuator, one front brake hard line ghetto replacement (@mach1man001), numerous electrical issues, power steering issue, steering rack problem, rear swingout failure, numerous tire bead reseats, and over 2 dozen field recoveries.

And in all these cases, I’ve pulled something from the the truck to aid in the effort.

For every issue/fix/repair, I learn from it and have a contingency plan for it.

I have spare brake hardlines specifically for @mach1man001 ‘s brakes in case he tears them apart again. *Knock on wood*

 

I have hard brake lines too.

 

That’s because we were both at the @mach1man001 ghetto brake line field repair clinic.

I think you lost a couple pounds hoofing your OBW up the mountain to wash the mud off of Rob’s brakes.

 

Yep. But no longer have obw. Or that form

 

mig welder is missing !

 

What’s your new OBW system David?

 

Hmmm, I might be able to fit my Hobart in the backseat. Needs 240v tho, and my power supply is only 110v, 15 AMPs, 1800 Watts.



I’ll just have to rely on my basic kit: roll of wire, zip ties, duct tape and JB Weld.
