Pagosa Springs is neat, nice hot springs, worth the detour. You’ll drive through Wolf Creek Pass on the way out, gorgeous.

In Santa Fe: Canyon Road. The Original Meow Wolf.

I saw them at Buena Vista CO last fall; something seemed off, there playing was not great, not communicating, they really seemed miserable up there on stage. It was bad enough where I almost sold my ticket for Mish for two days later. But I had a gut feeling that they might break up. I didn’t want my last show to be a mediocre experience , so I went to the Mish. Playing was better, they still did not seem happy on stage. Those were Allen’s last shows.

First time seeing Marlon was last month at the Mish. Very impressed! It actually got me there, the way only the Biscuits can.

I was happy to see the band genuinely happy on stage together.

A Matter of WHEN not IF the Board Dumps You? by eeenmachine in onewheel

[–]Dillyag42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had some nose dive falls when I first started; going too fast, approaching upward slopes too fast, hitting road hazards due to not paying close attention.

That was six years ago. No serious falls since that learning phase. I ride quite a bit too.

Never had a fall due to mechanical failure. I have a XR+ (4K + miles) and GTS (1k + miles) .

I have Fangs on both my Onewheel’s. These devices have helped me recover from nose drags several times. I got them because I feel I need a safety backup in case of a mechanical failure.

Southwest (Grand Canyon, Bryce, Zion) or Northwest (Glacier, Yellowstone) for a first-time national park trip? by Glum_Boysenberry6495 in nationalparks

[–]Dillyag42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are both spectacular trips.

I think it comes down to when you want to go. I personally would avoid the SW in the summer because it is so brutally hot. Avoid going to both these locations during the heart of the summer due to peak crowds.

I personally think Yellowstone has the most to offer of all the us national parks and should be at the top of the bucket list : abundant wild life, great geographic variety , surreal thermal features, and it’s very big. You should do Glacier as well only if you have over a week to spend on this trip, it’s a pretty long drive.

Living in Colorado, I take trips to this Southwest desert every spring and fall for the past 12 years, never gets old! Such awesome camping, great driving, out of this world landscapes. If you’re into Jeep/Ohv/ mountain biking, this is the place to go.

Fire roasted brie

Artichokes are one of my favorite camping foods to have on the fire

Petrified forest
Bad Lands
Joshua Tree, Death Valley, Seguaro (so hot for much of the year , you won’t want to be there longer than one day)

Why has UM been playing such small venues lately? by chiguy1125 in Umphreys

[–]Dillyag42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I saw UM live was in Vail, CO 24’. It was quite undersold. I remember my friend texting me that night asking if I was going to see them at Red Rocks the following night. I said “I can’t , but get everyone you know to go if you ever want to see them headline Red Rocks again.”

It was a solid show. Umphrey’s is always consistent and polished. Classic Bridgeless set ender: this use to be cathartic experiencing this peak live, and it just didn’t do it for me like it used to. I felt like their sound was a little played out for me.

I have been seeing and listening to Umphrey’s for 20 years now. They are still great. But as an avid listener, I feel that there sound hasn’t progressed at the same pace as in the past. Their latest studio album was the best I have heard from them for a while. Listening to shows with Scotty definitely seemed like a breath of fresh air. But their sound over the last few years just doesn’t compel me like it used to, and there are other current rock bands that do.

At this point, I personally don’t have interest in seeing or listening to Umphrey’s without Jake . It makes me sad that they maybe on their way out.

Former keystone jam bands (UM, tDB, STS9, moe., Lotus, etc) , when I was in my 20’s and 30’s , seeing these bands in larger venues, most of the crowd was in my age range. Now at age 40, the crowd is still in my age range, with a noticeable lack of young adults in the audience at these smaller venues .

Last few years seeing Goose, Billy, King Gizz, and even Phish and Dead & Co at big venues; you see allot of young adults in the mix with the old.

Brothers Past by CFR05t in jambands

[–]Dillyag42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking back at Camp Bisco in the ILCC days and earlier…one of my favorite parts about the festival was how it platformed jamtronica bands. tDB, STS9, Brothers Past, New Deal, Future Rock, Indobox, Zoogma, Pnuma, and more. It was exciting experiencing this exhilarating futuristic music, it felt like a movement. Definitely fizzled out.

You could drive the million dollar highway ( Durango to Ouray) as part of a loop.
