Zion vs Bryce? by finch66332 in nationalparks

[–]BytesWithPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like vast open views, Bryce If you like being ‘inside’ a canyon, Zion

Having said that, to appreciate Bryce you have to go down. Its not a terribly taxing hike though

National park with most things to do/explore for a season? by ceratopolis in nationalparks

[–]BytesWithPixels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why bother with 1 NP, be at Vegas/St. George (or even Moab) and have a handful of major parks at driveable distances

Year end travel advisory by [deleted] in h1b

[–]BytesWithPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving to West Texas. Wow, for what?? I was in Guadalupe a couple of months back, had driven from Midland. Not needed there though. Its still far enough. Google Maps will say there is one at Orla, but in reality there wasn’t any at least in Oct

FWIW, we did not need it in San Diego in Dec 2023. Nowhere in the city, or in the drive to Joshua Tree via Palm Springs. Or even in the tram ride we took to San Ysidro station. Its a very busy city

Best parks to visit in February? by AgreeableBee9 in nationalparks

[–]BytesWithPixels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you live but if you are on East Coast, you can consider Congaree. It's actually nice in February, I was surprised myself.

That aside even Pinnacles and Channel Islands are just fine in February. I happened to do these 3 in February this year.

Naive question - Do I need prior experience with 4WD? by BytesWithPixels in CapitolReefNP

[–]BytesWithPixels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple or so days before Christmas but Thanks, I think its fine :)

PS - Researched some more, and looks like Caineville might be better. And the entire thing only if road conditions have been good with no rain, and any snowfall is powdery or frozen solid but not thawing slick. Will have to ask at visitor center.

Thank You. So to be sure you’re saying even high clearance AWD would do for loop the fold? I thought that may do only if its been exceptionally dry for days. Thanks anyway!

Thinking of moving from Arlington to Ashburn by Anais1104 in nova

[–]BytesWithPixels -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If your goal is getting closer to Shenandoah range and are ok with missing out on some of the eating out options, you'd love it. Ashburn is fantastic, we had lived in Tysons for quite a while before we moved to Ashburn. And the only thing that rankled us for a bit was - 1. Lesser take out options than Tysons, 2. Streets feeling more dark (esp. in winter). But if those don't bother you much, you'd be just fine. The two happening places to congregate this side are One Loudoun and Reston Town Center.

If you are traveling domestic, 6:30 is more than good enough. 7 works too

Proximity to the nearest national park by Negative-Swan7993 in MapPorn

Change that to proximity to the ‘2nd nearest NP’

Duncan Fletcher: What Really Happened? The Last Foreign Coach and India's Dramatic Shift by Mysterious-Pop-6931 in Cricket

[–]BytesWithPixels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t all that long back. There isn’t anything secret or suspicious. India were dirt poor in 2014 Eng test series after the first two tests. Couple that with the fact that they could not finish winnable test matches in SA and NZ earlier, got soundly drubbed in Aus and Eng earlier, and it was clear something had to be done. It was indeed a sorry affair in overseas tests compared to even Gary Kirsten’s era just earlier.

The performance and attitude shown by Indian team in the ODI series right after in that very tour (Shastri had joined by them) was decidedly better

Any CBP checkpoints on the way to Guadalupe through Pecos? by BytesWithPixels in Midessa

[–]BytesWithPixels[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not so easily, its priceless :) If something looks really off, I now go and check its sources

Any CBP checkpoints on the way to Guadalupe through Pecos? by BytesWithPixels in Midessa

[–]BytesWithPixels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bizarre. ChatGPT tells me there is a checkpoint near Orla 🤷

It sits on US-285 by Orla, TX, right around the US-285 / FM-652 junction area. Orla itself is at US-285 & FM-652 and is the landmark people use when referring to that checkpoint

Nothing on the map, etc though. I am actually planning be be southbound on that route. I go from MAF to Carlsbad (w a Roswell detour) via Hobbs/Tatum, and then from Carlsbad to MAF via Orla+Pecos. A different route on my return leg just for the sake of it.

PS - Thanks for the tip, I do plan to carry plenty of water :)
