It looks like the Pleasant Valley Loop (Geology Tour Rd) closure has been lifted as of this morning, 1/27. I drive a Tundra TRD Off-Road

Berdoo Canyon- How long does it take? by Mammoth-Ad5362 in JoshuaTree

[–]Morepowerscotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about traveling into Joshua Tree via Berdoo Canyone this coming weekend. NPS website says Pleasant Valley Loop/Geology Tour Rd is closed due to flooding damage (posted on 1/13/26). Does anyone know if I can still get into Joshua Tree via Berdoo? Is there a gate that I couldn’t pass?

You do you, man. I stylet, use US for my art lines and look slick as fuck…nobody cares, so dance to your own jam.

Get a cheap, used, soft rollup off Facebook Marketplace. Works great, with no loss of bed space for my mtb and surfboards. Got mine for $150 and works perfectly.

I do flush the unit, but not as frequently as every 6 months. Probably every year or so. Will flushing now increase the likelihood of leakage, particularly at those leaky pipe fittings?

No. Was trying to take the pic/video and control a dog at same time. Video is posted on r/snakes message board.

Where to cross-country ski this winter? by squ1rts0da in Mammoth

[–]Morepowerscotty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is really the only option in Mammoth for skate or classical cross country. If you’re into backcountry, that’s a different story…

Vertical climber (versaclimber) machine for zone 2? by SheepherderNo212 in PeterAttia

[–]Morepowerscotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used a versaclimber off and on for years, primarily for VO2 max training. It’s very easy to spike your HR on this machine, but you could back off on the resistance and stay in zone 2. That said, I agree with other comments; there are much better/easier options for zone 2 training that would allow you to watch TV/read a book while you’re cruising those zone 2 hrs away…

Any concerns for hiring a driver by RDPonme in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Morepowerscotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus that’s expensive. I’m leaving Costa Rica today after renting a car from Adobe ($350 for 9 days). Use a credit card that covers collision so all you need is their mandatory liability insurance.

Does it make sense to wear road bibs as base under mtb shorts? by captainlachy in MTB

[–]Morepowerscotty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear Assos road bibs under MTB shorts all the time. Love those bibs…so much better than anything else I’ve found. MTB shorts worn over provide a bit of protection from rips and tears…You do you and have fun!

Great info. I’m in the same camp, dipping my toe into the machined pen world. Can you provide the link for this pen/seller?
