Very cool! Looks like it was an awesome trip. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the info. I will look into it.

For a while now I have wanted to spend some time on the Pony Express Trail. About two weeks ago I finally made it out to the west desert. Friday evening we met up with some family in Delta, then headed north towards Fish Springs Wildlife Refuge. Driving in the dark we pulled off the road to camp...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Both the Wildpeaks and the KO2s are my top choices. It seems like I may need to do some research on the Cooper tires that were suggested.

Maybe it’s is an odd question, but for those that spend a lot of time out in the desert on roads/trails what type of tire do you run on your vehicle? I got a new Tacoma a while back and I am starting look into the type of tires I should get when the current ones wear out. I have spent a lot of...

76 for me. It seemed kind of high until I remembered that I bought a new tent last January. I spent mine on some new hiking shorts.

We went to Bryce Canyon a few weeks ago. It was my first time there during winter. Next time I go I will bring my snowshoes.

I also read that T-mobile and Space X are teaming up to use Starlink satellites for their phones. The claim is that once it‘s up and running, there will be no more dead zones for their customers. It will be interesting to see how it ends up working...

I spent some time out in Kentucky last week. I got the chance to take my mtn bike on a few bike friendly trails in the Louisville area as well as Indiana. Very green compared to out west.

A couple of weeks ago I got my first chance at an actual packrafting trip. After doing a lot of research I decided that the Willow/ Davis Gulch loop looked like the best option. After giving some of the details of the trip to my brother, he also decided to come along. The plan was to meet up in...

Here are some of my goals for the coming year: 1. Get at least 5 backpacking nights in this year. 2. Try to get one backpacking trip out of Utah. 3. Float the San Rafael river if snow pack allows 4. Do three technical slot canyons. 5. Get 7 nights of car camping. 6. I will be headed back east...

I recently had the chance to accomplish two goals of mine. First was to float Labyrinth Canyon on the Green River. Second was to get a packraft. I have waited several years to get one, and this year I was finally able to make it happen. So I decided that for my first ever trip with the packraft...

Thanks for the info!. It makes me a little more comfortable about the idea.

I am wondering if it is possible to go down and back up the switchbacks leading into Mineral Bottom with an awd car? I have a Rav 4 with all wheel drive that I have been thinking about using for shuttling vehicles. I just don't want to get to the bottom and have trouble getting back out. Thanks...

This year I haven't had the chance to get out much. Between Covid-19 and home projects, I was kept busy. That changed a couple of weeks ago. We went up to Idaho to visit family and I had that chance to do a bunch of mountain biking. It was a little different than what I was used to, but in a...

One route that I have looked for an overland type trip started at Simpson Spring and followed the Pony Express Trail over to Ibapah Peak. It is a graded dirt road the whole way and depending on the time year it might have a decent amount of traffic. I was out by the geode beds last spring and...

Another good climbing book is The Push. Its about Tommy Caldwell and the Dawn Wall. One book I really enjoyed was called Dave Rust: A life in the Canyons. It's a biography about a guy who spent a good about of time exploring around the canyon country area along with the North Rim of the Grand...

That Scatman-55 virus also seems like some pretty serious business. I am already 200 plus miles away from Yellowstone, so I am good there. I will make sure to watch out for any sudden bagpipe music. :)

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing.
