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.

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.

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.

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

Cooper AT3 LT on my 2018 TRD Off Road. Ride well, beat the heck out of the stock Nitto Terra Grapplers. Went with C rated as I think E rated on T4R is overkill.

To side track on building your own roof rack, check out sites like 8020 or tnutz (real site I promise) for extruded aluminum bars and attachments/hardware.

I took Hwy 27 south and then Hwy 82 back to Texas. The Holly Beach water tower collapsed and is a pile of rubble.

Almost every pole between there past Johnson Bayou is down.

It looks like someone mowed the whole marsh because the grass is so flat.

Comparing the damage in Hackberry at parents to brother's house behind Lagrange I honestly can't tell a difference. Lake Charles got decimated

Drove from Houston to Hackberry today to bring gas and supplies. Total destruction is the only word that even comes close to describing what I saw on Hwy 27 between I-10 and here. Amazingly have 4G. The wind absolutely shredded everything.

Thanks. Yeah I can't vouch for it's construction...it's an older house. Seeing everything around them though, I don't think it mattered much how it was made

Looking at videos and pictures on Facebook and SWLA looks like a warzone. Not nearly the same amount of flooding like Rita but it's obvious the wind damage is way worse. Flooding is expensive to repair so I am not sure if this will be costlier but just from what I have seen this was way more pure destruction.

Parents got to their house in Hack-el-berry...man it did a number. They **had** a robust sheet metal roof that is completely gone. Trees that laughed at Rita snapped in half from Laura.

Gonna head to them as soon as "outsiders" are let in to help pick up the pieces. My mom is in shock.

Not sure about Cameron, but talked to my mom and the people that stayed in Hackberry ended up at the new community center. People making rounds and the wind damage is worse than Rita...they have no roof on their house, lots of down trees etc.
