    Yea, its right above Louisville! I just read about it a month ago, haven't hiked it yet. But I'd like to hike the full 58 this summer if I can find the time.


    So lucky! One of these days I hope to be in a similar situation!

    Well I thought I would post up. About a week ago my girlfriend, huskies, and a good buddy from TW went on an overland trip through utah and moab. He did a pretty great write up about it here. IT was a blast. WE got in some crawling, a crazy amount of demo time on my new expedition gear, and over all just had a great time. We did roughly 1800 miles and spent about a week traveling across nevada and utah.

    Wow. That's actually pretty cool.

    And at $275, not a bad price point. I wonder about the accuracy with all the assembly, but it is certainly versatile.

    May have to look into one...

    Ya that is the one. THey do look weird, and at first it kinda is not fun. But what I found out is that once you get your balance down they are beyond comfy and convenient. They take up almost no space, and no weight. I used it in moab beach type sand, tahoe snow, on solid rock, I loved it. In the store i thought it was kind of odd and figured I would just try it and return it when I got back, but I am keeping this baby!

    Also I am 255 lbs and 6'4 and its awesome!

    I would just buy some no-see-um netting and if you are good with a thread and needle, sew it on there. It is a little weird at first because you have to squat so low to the ground but once you stretch your legs out and get in to that neutral position, it is crazy comfortable.
