Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

Not nearly as bad and Bishop is smoke free. For now.

 

Okay I’m heavily considering. If I can get 1 person to join me. Need to find a night 1 campsite now.

 

@cartter469, this is the site I use to check air quality: https://fire.airnow.gov/#

 

Unfortunately I’ve changed my mind and not going. Partially for moneys sake. Partially cus I’m not supposed to ride my bike till January and I know I’d have 0 self control at the bike park

 

Airnow and Purple air are what we use. I also use Caltopo for the fire mapping and ZoomEarth for live satellite views. It's been so spotty with this fire. I rode my mtb at lunch today with an AQI of like 5 (aka crystal clear) then by this evening the AQI was probably 400+. Crazy swings as the wind shifts the crap around.

This weekend, we'll just look at the map and head where it's clear. Good practice for living in moment.

 

Anyone into archery? I tried it for the first time at this military sports camp I was at and it was a blast. It’s very zen

 

@theesotericone do you know of any hikes/routes in mammoth area that would be considered a “tough hike”/some bouldering. Nothing that requires some ropes, but somethin that’s not just walking. Minor crawling/holding on to stuff to get through it?

i could make it down there tomorrow and swim in some lakes tomorrow afternoon then Saturday do something like that before coming back here and it’d fell worth it

 

There's a via ferrata but that costs money. I'll give it some thought today and see if I can think of something. If I don't reply again by 5PM or so just tag me again.

 

I used to, sold my bow. After helping my brother in law with his archery tag this year though, and actually being successful, and getting a really good buck, I kind of want to buy a bow again...

 

I got hooked, wasting arrows did a huge veterans event a few days ago and we all had a BLAST!!!! I went back and saw them yesterday tried out a few bows. Tons of fun, its very calming and relaxing, zen like. I might pull the trigger.

 

I have a few bales of straw set up on our property. The kids go nuts for flinging arrows. Of course I get in there and have some fun too.

Last year, we had some friends visiting from out of state. Their son got a dove in flight - he’s like 10 years old! Of course we made the kids process it and cook it over an open fire. We let him keep the bow that he used to shoot it.

 

FTFY



















I know... that was bad

 

I created a thread for a GTG: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/reno-tacos-tacos-night.778356/#post-27827459

Looking forward to tacos and margaritas and meeting a few more of you.

read the highlighted text in what he quoted in his post

 

The smoke cleared out a bit today at the air races.

 

I remember being at the air races, late 70s.
We could drive out near one of the 'upper' pylons and were so close we could see the pilots faces. Fond memories.

 

Anyone interested in a lovesac? I bought it last year. Microfiber cover the inside is made from memory foam. Very comfy. I’m getting rid of stuff (going through divorce)
Cover is washable . Asking $300

 

First road trip report on the super dooty, 22mpg over 1000 or so miles. Pretty dang decent for a limo.

 

If anyone can make use of this, it's theirs. 265/70r16, doesn't look like it's ever been used.
