Re: White Mountains, CA dispersed camping
I noticed you mentioned "hiking Mt. Whitney". Be aware of two things, first, you must have a permit issued by the NPS, and they do check there. Second, at this time the Mt. Whitney portal is closed due to the severe rock slide damage from this winter.975Views0likes0CommentsRe: Mobs in Yosemite
I live within an hour and a half from the park and spend a lot of time there throughout the year. I clime and hike, and have found that the crowds thin out above 7000'. Most people treat Yosemite as though it's an amusement park, they have no understanding or respect for the Eco systems or what they are actually looking at. The part that bothers me the most is the trash they leave behind. I carry a trash bag with me on every visit and start collecting trash on the way down, most of the time I run out of space in the bag. If you do plan to visit please enjoy what I Yosemite is, one of the most spiritual and beautiful spots on the face of the earth. AND please, please if you bring it in carry it out and pick up that gum wrapper or yogurt cup! THANKS!!!500Views0likes0CommentsRe: Questions on road testing of 2017 Ford 250 and 350
I purchased a 2017 F350 SWR in February, it is my daily driver as well as the TV for my 5th wheel. As far as MPG is concerned I average about 16.5 mpg as stated on the DIC. This seems pretty concistant over the past couple of months. As far as the ride is concerned I find that it rides like a truck! My previous truck was a Chevy 3500 DRW and when empty it could jar your teeth loose. I was a Chevy diesel mechanic and have owned GM vehicles for well over 30 years, but this time after researching and lots of test driving I chose the F350 and have not had any regrets. This comming weekend I'll be hauling my 5th wheel to the sierras so I will have a better idea of towing performance and MPG.130Views0likes0CommentsGround control
Just picked up my Loredo 325RL today, brought it home unhooked, then tried autolevel and nothing. Followed the manual several more times same results. Called the tech guy at the dealership who told me to zero the unit. Followed the instructions and when I got to the part where it says "push left and right simultaneously" I get the message feature not available. It will not let me go on. I will say that it all worked great at the dealer, so I'm thinking operator error somewhere along the line. Can anyone help shed some light on this please.1KViews0likes3CommentsRe: A Bad Saturday
I feel for you. I have a chocolate lab that's having difficulty with his back legs. I rescued him when he was 11 month old, he's only 7 now and at times I have to help him up and walk steadily. I can't imagine my life without him, he's always at my side. So sorry!137Views0likes0Comments
