    So, anyone had to do a repair to these beds before? Mine tried to light itself on fire today. I think I accidentally left a linseed soaked rag in the bed and it smoldered in the bed melting a chunk of it by the wheel well on the pax side.

    Yikes! Lucky escape for sure. I tried to burn my house down once sanding floors with an orbital between coats of polyurethane. Scary shit.

    Ouch! That certainly doesn't sound pleasant!

    So I did a sweet little run on Saturday, decent amount of mud and rocks but nothing my little stock OR couldn't handle... Nice thing is you can do this run in about an hour and its 5 mins from Kingston :)

    Yup, this one is on the North Mountain.

    I'm wondering if we have any interest in a valley run from any of the folks here?

    FTFY! ;)

    oh yes!
    I have some Friends in the valley, and my camper needs to get used!

    Speaking of fun little things, Found a neat trail that lead to a rock ( shale? ) pit out around the airport that was fun for a quickie, was solo and had my 1.5yr old with me, so I could not explore all of it. Seems like you could have about an hour or two's worth of fun there.

    So I go out pretty much every weekend, usually around the valley area though I am finding I need to go further and further out these days to find stuff I haven't been to already... Who is in for a valley run and when do you guys want to do it? Should we organize something formal or just give a location and a day where we'll start and see who shows? I'm down for pretty much anything and am available most weekends as this is what i do with my time anyway :)

    I was thinking next Saturday (22nd) would work. Supposed to be decent weather and I am actually off. Meeting place somewhere in the Greenwood area I would think, and head out just prior to noon and be back out of the woods by 6ish. Whoever can make it awesome.

    I've been going out almost every weekend and taking some pics with my phone while I am out... Here's a random selection of some of the better pics:

    Not really sure what kind of beetle this is so I took a pic as i thought the design on his back was kinda neat:

    DSC_0182.jpg


    Here's a sunset from the shore of the Bay of Fundy last Wed eve:
    DSC_0167.jpg

    This next pic is a natural stone arch found at Baxter's Harbour Nova Scotia:
    DSC_0165.jpg

    Following is another pic I took at Baxter's Harbour, I love how there is a tree growing on top of this outcrop of rocks:
    DSC_0159.jpg


    This next pic is of the waterfall at Baxter's Harbour:
    DSC_0145.jpg

    And here is a photo of the same waterfall with a person in the frame for height reference:
    DSC_0146.jpg

    So what do you think? I can post more if you people enjoy this type of post?

    Let me know!

    Yes, please keep posting pics from your outings!

    I can't make it out on the 22nd, my daughter is having her 8th birthday party. Sounds like a good go!
