    I mean the weather will get nice again here after today. Mountain will probably be cool but not full on camp fun.

    I'd drive over for a camp fire at Zanes.

    There's gotta be a backlog of work to do in the shop on Monte's truck. ;)

    I'm still down for anything, I'd rather freeze at camp than in your driveway I suppose. Pryors will be sloppy but the weather really doesn't look too bad except for one evening/overnight.

    ha. Hmmm. Lets see.

    Could do UBJs. Inner tie rods maybe(don't have parts). And maybe valve cover gaskets.

    About it for Igor.

    Now, little red? UBJ, maybe tie rods. Timing belt I'd bet. Valve cover gasets. Tcase seals. U joint.

    But don't have most those parts either. Some.

    Yeah and not sure how much of it will melt or how fast.

    I mean I'd rather freeze in the mountains than be home. Although I do love being home so...eh. certainly be more fun for everyone if we were in the hills. Or there are foot hill areas.

    Wish I could tell you that you won't have days of frustration if you guys make that choice but it comes with the territory.

    Oh for sure, I only wish I had been in a position to do it when I was younger. Trade older age wisdom for youthful energy

    Found my skid plate bolts. They were in one of my cases. Which means yes I had them the whole time while in Utah.

    I got home a little bit ago. From camp in the Red Lakes area, about halfway between West Yellowstone and I-15, is about 12 hours of driving to get here. A lot more than I would normally be comfortable doing.

    No trouble until I left Spokane. A brutal headwind required 21 gallons to go 275 miles. That's ugly. Then there was the cow running against traffic (towards me) on I-90 thru the middle of Moses Lake. Could have been really ugly. Then, right after crossing over Snoqualmie pass there was an old Ram pick-up up on top of some concrete barriers, with every corner bashed in. It didn't appear to have rolled. But about a 1/2 mile further on (it is very steep in this area) was a trailer with another Ram truck strapped to it. The trailer and the truck were pilled into the cliff. Fortunately, there didn't appear to anyone else involved.

    Really tired, but it was a great adventure. So much fun. :hattip:
