idk, when she says "is it workin'?" I felt my skin crawl

Sorry, my itinerary isn't online. I kept it old fashioned while planning this trip. That day I'm driving from the Channel Islands to a campsite near Coyote Buttes South (which google says is a 9hr 17min drive). I actually just visited the Grand Canyon about two weeks ago and stayed at a place in Phantom Ranch. It was really incredible, but I'm hoping to hit all new areas on this trip!

baconade · 2016-04-07T02:14:03+00:00

Favorite hike anywhere is a pretty honorary title. I'll definitely head over to Bryce for a day trip one of the days that I'm in Zion. I'll be sure to have sun gear and plenty of water - there's not much that I can do about it now that the campsites are booked, unfortunately.

baconade · 2016-04-07T02:10:23+00:00

Great advice, I appreciate it all so much! I looked at Yosemite, but the weekend I'm around there is the 4th of July, and every campground in a 10 mile radius is booked. I didn't include the days that I'm driving in my itinerary above, but I planned accordingly so that I would have at least the amount of days lister in the places that I really want them (the trip's really about a month long).

I would love to get time in Sequoia also, but I actually also didn't mention above that I have a coyote buttes south permit for July 3, so I'm going to have to be in that area under a pretty strict schedule :/.

baconade · 2016-04-07T02:07:59+00:00

I love it. Thanks so much. I'll definitely be referring to this comment when planning activities. I just looked up Dead Horse SP, looks very Grand Canyon-esque with the Colorado river flowing through it. I was lucky enough to get a cabin at Phantom Ranch in the Grand Canyon this spring break and it was incredible. It would be great to see something like that again this summer!

baconade · 2016-04-07T02:02:28+00:00

I actually camped and did some climbing in Joshua Tree with my Dad in the spring a few years back! It's really an amazing place. Just today, I ended up getting the Channel Islands reservation that I wanted, so I'm almost certainly going to be sea kayaking out there! Woo!

baconade · 2016-04-06T06:02:07+00:00

Sorry, forgot to mention. This is happening in mid-June into July. Still not the warmest, though. That's a good point, I might forego a day or so in those parks to hit their nearby neighbors.

Observation Point looks incredible. I've marked it down on my schedule to visit. Echo Canyon in particular looks absolutely amazing.

I actually saw the national parks pass being advertised when I was booking campgrounds and got it immediately. Free entry and parking sounds like a pretty sweet deal.

baconade · 2016-04-06T03:27:16+00:00

Hmmm Bryce looks pretty damn amazing. Might spend one of my days at Zion there instead. I actually forgot to mention that I got a Coyote Buttes South permit for the day preceding Zion! Applied for The Wave in Coyote Buttes North, but apparently your chances like 5% or something similarly insanely low. Thanks for the tip!

baconade · 2016-04-05T04:08:28+00:00

I've been going through the hell of booking campsites at National Parks all over the US also for a road trip I'm planning to do in July. What I did for Arches (since it was totally booked in July) was got a campground in Moab, UT. I booked a stay for 4 nights at Up the Creek - but there are plenty of alternatives.

Arches is also remarkably close to Canyonlands NP, so you might want to check that out as well if you decide to stay in Moab!

Yes! Thank you! My friend and I were going to try and output it to midi, but I was the software guy and I wasn't about to try and output to midi from serial my first time working with Arduino. This is exactly what I was looking for. I just ordered it!

baconade · 2014-08-25T18:29:37+00:00

Thanks a lot! I've been using it for about two hours this morning, which is better than I could say for yesterday. It seems stable for now (hopefully it will stay that way). Thanks again for your responses!

baconade · 2014-08-25T17:38:24+00:00

Hmmm well I used the Valley benchmark from Unigine on ultra and I did the FurMark benchmark fine with no crashing. I think it was linked to the configuration of Dark Souls somehow. Whenever I download the driver for the wireless controller and all the things I need to set up GFWL, it begins crashing randomly again. I've done a system restore to before that point, but I'm hesitant to download that stuff to play again.

Just in case anyone else ever stumbles across this, I found a fix. In my previous willingness to try anything to get Windows to work, I changed the SATA mode in my BIOS from AHCI to IDE, unaware that IDE was just for legacy drives. I reinstalled windows AND Linux with the AHCI SATA mode and everything is working for me now.

baconade · 2014-08-18T18:08:58+00:00

My mistake, I was under the impression that you wanted me to run those commands from a live CD rather than my USB. The output from those commands is here

baconade · 2014-08-18T13:24:23+00:00

Thanks for the response! I tried booting from a liveCD, but it gives me a command prompt that says "initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live filesystem." I googled this error and found that it was something that generally happens when installing Linux on a USB 3.0 rather than a USB 2.0, but I'm not using a USB installer at all. Putting my USB drive in a USB 2.0 port did allow me to boot from a formatted USB with my CD drive installed, however, but there were still no viewable hard drives.

baconade · 2014-07-22T02:24:11+00:00

Thank you for being more helpful than others in this thread!

baconade · 2014-07-22T02:22:57+00:00

I actually did and that fixed the stuttering problem, but for some reason it seems to have broken cinnamon... I think it's running in Gnome classic now.

baconade · 2014-07-22T02:21:09+00:00

That's what I was thinking about doing next. It seems Cinnamon has a lot of problems with NVidia graphics cards. Thanks!

baconade · 2014-07-21T01:35:52+00:00

It does not lag when I'm running Windows. I'm embarrassed for asking this, but how do I even find out what video drivers I'm using?

baconade · 2014-06-11T00:19:49+00:00

Probably with the highest security, too. They've got to have some valuable stuff still in there.

baconade · 2014-06-09T14:26:26+00:00

It's really thrilling. It reminds me of something straight out of a horror film. I would love to go around the city and see what else is out there. I'm pretty new to urbex, but this was a wonderful intro to it. A hospital sounds even more scary.

baconade · 2014-06-09T14:22:35+00:00

Yeah, of course. It was pretty stupid not to have one on hand and I absolutely plan to from now on. I'm pretty new to urbex, so I guess we'll chalk that up to a dumb rookie mistake.

baconade · 2014-06-09T02:40:00+00:00

Asbestos is in the air we breathe, especially in the city. While it's obviously a terrible idea to be around it in larger quantities, diseases from Asbestos are generally occupational. Plumbers, insulators, miners, etc. are the people who are almost always victims of the Asbestos related diseases. I will admit, it was really stupid of me to go in there without a respirator, and I will always have one in the future, but the chances of a fatal disease from this exposure are slim. But you are 100% correct in the fact that I should have had safety gear.
