    Just as the trail had some gatekeepers obstacles near the bottom, so too were there some larger gatekeepers before we could proceed much further towards the top. Several of these offered easier and harder lines, our approach summarized nicely by this meme...

    I can't help look at that building and think of things to use that wood for. Beautiful... and beautiful scenery. Love these write-ups.

    I wish I could've made it, looks like you had some great weather.

    Did you do the Pozo run?

    This was my first time going and my son and I had a great time. I didn’t make the Pozo run, unfortunately. We had a 6 hour drive to get home and my 5 yo was already pretty warm out by Sunday. Next time!

    ...We weren't - however - headed home yet. In fact, Monte and I had planned to let Mike get a head start home while he and I returned to Mt. Antero to bag our 14er, but...

    Well, you'll just have to read all about it in Redhead Down #10: Dealing with the Fallout

    I asked this in the rtt thread, but didn't get much feedback. For those of you using a heater buddy in your tents, what are you standing the heater on? I don't want it down around the pads and blankets and whatnot so I need to find some sort of small table or something of the like to prop it on. Any suggestions?

    Are you using the little buddy or regular buddy heater? I’d be nervous in a tent. Those things get hella hot.

    Using a little buddy. Used it this past weekend and it worked great. Only ran it for about 10 mins before bed. Just wasn't happy with how I had to precariously balance it in the corner.

    I thought about using one for in my truck this weekend. Camping in Vermont and the lows are in the single digits. But my cap ceiling is 2’ above the platform. I a bit scared of it catching on fire. I’m just going to wing it with a 0degree mummybag

    Depending on what type of RTT you my buddy @TimberTiger made a mount for a little buddy that he could clap to one of the inside tent frame tubes.

    Sounds like a good idea. I’d definitely be interested in seeing this.

    Cool shot. Do you mind sharing the manufacturer of your griddle?

    I was going stir crazy... and knowing that @mrs.turbodb would be unable to resist a trip back to the Alvord Desert - and for our first time, Steens Mountain - I knew that would be our destination.

    It'd be a relatively short trip - four days total - but I figured that even at that, we could do a couple things we'd wanted to do for quite some time:
    1. We could get to the top of Steens Mountain, which on every previous trip has been covered in snow. The highest road in Oregon, this is something we've wanted to do for years, since we first saw it while visiting the Malheur Refuge. In fact, @mrs.turbodb mentions Steens so often that it's become a running joke.
    2. We could make another run at Big Sand Gap on the east side of the Alvord Playa. Because we had a score to settle from our last attempt. Not that we're hard-headed or anything.
    So, it was in the very early morning hours of October 10, 2019 that we piled into the Tacoma and headed south...
