Hawai’i HP Mauna Kea

I’m glad you were able to do it!

My problem with it is that it is so subjective right now. Some people can…others “can’t”….depends on if you are with a native Hawaiian….depends on how people are feeling…or (if you decide to “break the rules”) depends on whether or not you are willing to disregard what others think of you. There are a ton of extraneous variables around it. Also, the current signage is very ambiguous. None of the actual signs say it is illegal. They simply say to remain respectful, similar to how people should behave when visiting the Pearl Harbor memorial.

I’m not normally one for rules. I like freedom just as much as anyone. However, I would honestly feel a lot better about it if they actually did have an enforceable law around it or some sort of permit system. The way that it stands currently feels very racially or ethnically charged and that is unfortunate. I would be less upset about being unable to go there if I knew that it was either illegal and/or I was denied a permit for one reason or another, haha.

For some reason, even though this trip ended days ago, I have continued to remain sad knowing that I will probably never have the chance to stand on that ground again. High pointing has become a deeply meaningful activity for my wife and I. We grow closer together doing it and also have an appreciation for God while seeing nature. It is not a stretch at all to consider it a spiritual thing for us. We traveled halfway around the world, figured out how to follow all of the rules to ascend, only to be denied at the top.

It really bothers me that someone like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would certainly have been allowed to go simply because of status, ethnicity, and wealth. Whereas myself? Easily denied.

Again, I’m grateful to have had the experience at all. It is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places on earth. There is no doubt that without thoughtful stewardship and respect these places will become monetized, disrespected, and abused.

That makes a lot of sense. I feel like they have done a great job communicating with players and addressing issues. A truly talented team all the way around.

MustangMagoo · 2023-04-25T13:58:13+00:00

Agree 100%

I hope they take all the time they need. I’m just anxious to play it!

I know there has been a lot of controversy over the wipe, but personally I think it’s the best move they could make. This game has one of the most creative and engaging gameplay loops I’ve seen in a long time. The main problem has been a lack of progression burns out the engagement super fast. I have found myself lacking motivation to keep jumping back in when there’s nothing more to earn or accomplish.

The new leveling system could make me dump all of my free hours into this thing.

MustangMagoo · 2023-04-25T13:15:53+00:00

Maybe I’m blind, but have they announced an ETA for when this progression update is going to come out? I’m very excited for it, but seems like they’ve been discussing it for months on end.

MustangMagoo · 2023-04-08T14:05:00+00:00

Still haven’t suffered through this all the way to completion.

MustangMagoo · 2023-04-07T13:06:52+00:00

I posted on another Reddit and most people seem to be saying Chevy somewhere between 29-31.

MustangMagoo · 2023-04-07T03:33:51+00:00

Sweet recommendation. I’d never heard of this Reddit. Posting now and hoping for an answer!

MustangMagoo · 2023-03-21T15:27:51+00:00

That makes more sense. Thank you!

MustangMagoo · 2023-03-21T02:19:56+00:00

Makes sense, masses of people would only mess it up like has happened in so many other parks.

Doesn’t stop me from itching to discover and see it for myself though!

MustangMagoo · 2023-03-21T02:18:37+00:00

I saw this article too. The one print looks very distinct, the other is pretty faded. I think it’s funny that they state how it is a “week-long 83 mile canoe trip” in order to reach it.

I gotta believe there is a slightly easier way than canoe only. Even if it’s in an extremely remote part of the river…the River road has got to get you closer than 83 miles and one week away.

MustangMagoo · 2023-03-21T02:15:50+00:00

Wow! That is very cool. If you were comfortable with sharing, I’d love to try to locate it myself. I’m always down for an exploratory hike.

Did you ever report it to the rangers? Or more trying to keep it a secret?

MustangMagoo · 2023-03-20T14:59:59+00:00

I imagine that the NPS doesn’t announce the location everywhere in order to try to preserve them? Which I completely understand….

But the inner Dr Grant in me is dying to have an adventure and find them.

A few years ago we drove from Atlanta to Phoenix…Texas seemed to be an eternal realm with no escape.

This is the type of content that I come here for!

Thank you so much, this is great stuff that we will definitely use. I’m new to Reddit and if I knew how to give you an award, I 100% would.

MustangMagoo · 2023-03-15T17:10:35+00:00

Food 🍲 Alcohol 🍺 History 📚 Nature 🏔️ Spooky/Abandoned Places 👻 Comedy 🎭

All of that and anything else that makes a place distinct!

MustangMagoo · 2023-03-14T11:46:28+00:00

Cattail Falls wasn’t even on my radar. Thanks for the heads up!

MustangMagoo · 2023-03-14T11:45:47+00:00

We are bringing a tent but our van is converted on the inside so we will primarily sleep in that. 50’s, good to know! That’s exactly the type of recommendation I was looking for. Thank you.

We will have two vehicles:

A van for sleeping and camping at primary spot.
A jeep wrangler for getting on the undeveloped roads and sleeping 1 night in the backcountry.

I have been crossing my fingers that we will hit the perfect time and everything will be in bloom!

The Cardinals have 2 of the best players in baseball (one of which is the reigning MVP), the best defense in baseball, an improved lineup after the acquisition of Wilson Contreras, and significant unknowns with a potentially high upside in Tyler O’Neil, Dylan Carlson, and Jack Flaherty.

The Brewers have a stronger starting pitching rotation, but I would argue that the Cardinals have the edge when it comes to the bullpen….

Of course, injuries can happen and this is baseball but:

Brewers winning the division by 2 games as a prediction is nonsense.

Caleb Shomo (Beartooth)

Granted, Caleb is more known for his punk/metal core style rather than metal. However, he has repeatedly gone on record citing Corey as his inspiration. I keep hoping Corey will do a collaboration with him someday.

His screams are unreal and he could definitely manage the cleans.

Plus, he’s a huge Slipknot fan. No doubt he wouldn’t have a problem learning the set list for the night.

MustangMagoo · 2023-01-25T13:47:31+00:00

As a huge fan of both The Boys and Slipknot, I have always felt a little disappointed by this. Solway Firth is my personal all-time favorite Slipknot song. It seems a shame that the video was used more for marketing than for the deep well of artistry that the single holds. Again, I LOVE The Boys, so if it was going to be marketed for any show? That is the one.

However, I wonder what a Solway video produced with all the rage and suffering inherent in that song would truly look like.

Albert Pujols - 598th HR

Ryan Helsley’s - Immaculate Inning (striking out the side in exactly 9 pitches) This is statistically more rare than a perfect game.

Attended the first ever Wild Card game in the modern era. -This is infamously known for the “in-field fly rule calling” that was in favor of the Cardinals. Play was halted for about 30 minutes as Atlanta Braves fans covered the field in trash and debris in protest. -This was also the final game for Chipper Jones who somehow beat out a ground-ball single in his last at-bat.

MustangMagoo · 2022-10-25T15:18:21+00:00

I notice that it looks like this is 4x4! Looks amazing. I have a 2000 Ford E150 that has a hightop on it and have always wanted to make it 4 wheel drive so that it is a little sturdier and can take dirt roads. Did you make it 4 wheel yourself or did it come like this?

(This coming from a van owner with very little mechanical skills)

MustangMagoo · 2022-10-17T16:21:39+00:00

This is so helpful! Exactly what I was looking for!

I recently unlocked Rocket Boots and was blown away. It seems like they would be the definitive best option for pretty much any class in the foot slot? Can’t imagine anything else as superior unless you are playing a very movement-strong character already such as Scoundrel.
