If you do end up around Pocatello, two things I enjoyed are Craters of the Moon and the Experimental Breeder Reactor-1 museum.

The water supply line will freeze on ours from time to time. Hit it with a blow dryer to thaw and that solves it for me.

It's not the worst. Just go down Burbank and hit Essen or Bluebonnet. Burbank flows pretty good after Jennifer Jean.

re: Tire pressure for KO2s?

Posted by SheauxMeTheMoney on 11/11/22 at 6:47 am to thejudge

Use a tire chart + chalk test. Depending on the load rating and vehicle weight, proper operating pressure will vary.

P rated tires reach full load capacity at 35psi. E rated is usually considerably higher based on vehicle weight and more ply.

The "sturdier" tire has higher heat retention.

re: Monument Valley worth it if going to Moab/Canyonlands?

Posted by SheauxMeTheMoney on 11/9/21 at 2:57 pm to baldona

I've done Canyonlands a couple of times. The Maze District is AMAZING...but it's in the middle of nowhere and you must have 4x4 to really see anything. Island In the Sky is much more doable from the road.

Hwy 95 south of the park is the most beautiful road I've ever driven.

It's pretty wild and crazy in Lake Jackson right now. Thankfully the kids are sleeping through it.

To me, this is simple: This is election subversion. It’s the most dangerous threat to voting and the integrity of free and fair elections in our history. Never before have they decided who gets to count — count — what votes count.

Very impressive given the temps yesterday...made me feel like a wimp for doing half of my long run on the treadmill yesterday morning.

Also kudos to the announcers on the broadcast. I checked the live feed throughout the day and they never seemed to lose energy.

Was there last week with our 7 year old son. We did Window Trail (moderate complaining), Santa Elena Canyon (mild complaining), Mariscal Mine (zero complaining) and Ernst Tinaja (zero complaining).
I really wanted to do Lost Mine Trail but didn't have the time.

Be prepared, the park is BIG and takes time to get around. Also check out the current road closures.

re: 4Runner or Atlas or Palisade?

I currently have 3 car seats, two forward and one rear facing in 2018 4Runner. Would I like more space? Sure, but that's what roof racks are for.

ETA: it's a two row 4Runner, we need proper 4x4, that's why I have it.

It may be a "crackpot" theory but take cold showers. Or at least stand under the coldest water you can for a few minutes. I don't know why it does, but that helps me.

Just went through this, I took a full week break. Went for first run after 2.5 weeks and could still feel it a little, but not enough to shut down. I think you can be back on the weights after a week.

Second the Cooper AT3. I have the LT C rated on my 4runner and the are way better than the Nitto Terra Grappler they replaced.

I know it doesn't help, but my local Academy in rural Texas has been keeping stock of .223 and 5.56 so I just pick up my 3 boxes every time I'm in there :)

I have a Nordic Track X11 from a few years ago. Mainly use it when weather bad or for hill work. I run 5-6 days a week and still only use the treadmill a few times a month...but I knew that going in. Treadmill is great btw, the incline can go STEEP
