    The axle blew the joint and smashed the frame hard. We shall see though. May need not auto parts store axles

    I've only been to South Branch Pond once myself. Didnt stay there though. We hiked 10 miles in to Russell Pond for the night and then back out the following day. The Matagamon Gate side of the park feels even more remote than the Southern side. Its also a bit flatter.

    There are some great views overlooking the Upper and Lower S Branch Ponds at one point on the trail to Russell pond. Roughly a mile or two hike in from the parking area if I recall.

    Did my car that way this past summer rather than pulling lines - seems to work just as good. Just requires more fluid to get it as clean

    I will treat my family to a return stay at Mount Chase Lodge. A nice little cabin at a facility that serves gourmet dinners and lumberjack breakfasts.

    Headlights adjustment question, please.
    I have adjusted my aim to the correct angle.
    My question is. Do I need to put a screwdriver in the gear teeth of adjustment screw to hold it still while I take a 8mm wrench or socket to keep that position?
    Itwas easy to turn and I am just worried about it turning freely and getting all effed up while I trave.
    Gonna bring tools with me for in case
