UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Gemini Bridges then down Long Canyon or the reverse is a good one.

Get yourself the infamous rock shot.

 

That a good tour of some pretty desert. Spring Canyon is a sweet little drive too.

 

If you hit Gemini Bridges, it's worth the short drive up to Dead Horse Point when you exit the trail. It's not offroad, but it's an awesome view, and you can see the end of the Chicken Corners trail from there which is neat if you run that one too. Lots of good camping (campgrounds and dispersed) up there too.

 

Well, hey. Maybe I should stop by this thread and say hi. I've been lurking in the 1st gen area for years, and just found this part of the forum. Hopefully I'll have something useful to contribute to the conversation.

I get down to Moab quite often. Long Canyon is amazing, both up and down. Gemini Bridges is also pretty beautiful. There's a campground really close to the top of Gemini Bridges and near Mineral Canyon Road that I love to stay at, but it's usually full on the weekends. You can easily do White Rim Trail in a single day. I'd recommend that if you get a chance. Or, head out west past Tusher Tunnel towards White Wash Sand Dunes and there are never ending wide open spaces with more little side roads than you could ever explore. You can find many places that overlook the Green River around Labyrinth Canyon that are far enough out of town that tourists never really go there.

Great, now I've given up all my favorite places.

 

They are trying to hack into your email… how do you reset all of your passwords if you get locked out of your bank account? Yep, email.

 

Ha! That's why I don't do on-line banking. F**k'um!

 

Or...you setup a strong password, use a password manager, and setup multi factor auth on your email. It would literally take someone centuries to crack my password if they got a hold of the hash....and then they would need my phone to get the second multi auth code.

Also. Don't reuse passwords. This is a big one.

 

Yeah... or just don't become part of the system and you don't even need a password, password manager, multifactor-bulls**t, or even a phone.

I like my system better.

 

Yeah, I work at a bank. So many people get duped online, it really sucks.

 

I used to work in financial services as well, and frankly, a lot of those that get duped deserved it.

There's some really elaborate scams out there I can see how folks fall into, but the infamous "Nigerian Prince" scheme still proliferates because it works.

We also had a dude in the section next to mine get his security clearance revoked after getting catfished and scammed by the Russians...multiple times

 

LOL. Gotta get off that Russian Tinder!

 

Yeah, homie wired some chick the travel money to come visit ($3-5k), "missed her flight", wired her more for a new ticket, "mom got sick", wired her even more money, then I forget what happened. Decided it might be a better safe than sorry to tell the security people about his situation at that point, and they didn't quite see it from his point of view.

 

Lolol. I'm curious to know how far the "chick" could've led him on...

 

My wife retired from a life in banking. I remember one time she saved a woman from foreclosure because the poor lady had no idea how to pay her bill after her husband died. She helped a lot of people.

And she's the one that insisted we never do on-line banking.

 

I’d love to hear those stories.

 

Outstanding!

I would totally bury my camper

 

LOL. these were a good read for a wednesday morning, "I don't want to work".

 

If any one is interested I have a new set of Diode Dynamics SSC2 lights with amber back light and combo light pattern. I also have a set of cali raised ditch light brackets to go with them. Looking to get $180 for the lights and $45 for the brackets. There are a few scratches on the brackets from kicking around my garage but nothing a fresh layer of paint can't fix. I'm located in Sandy if anyone is interested.
