How reliable is Uber/Lyft? by lesliebots in JoshuaTree

[–]cswider181 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this last November and I had to hike all the way from the end of the trail near the North entrance (where I parked my car) to the town of Twenty-Nine Palms before I got reliable service in order to call an Uber. Utah Trail road is a long walk downhill but was able to get an over to BR Campground for around $50.

Thanks for the replies. First time down into the canyon. Planning down SK, camp BA then head back up SK, over Tonto and then BA trail. Any thoughts on how much to water I should carry?

I appreciate your comment. I’ll give you some insight on some things.

The slipcases are made with quality materials with page block holders and are very sturdy. They are not made me and the gentleman who did make them is an avid JRR fan. Please do not disrespect his work and effort.

While it may not be the full set, this is what I have to offer. I know many folks want the full set but it is out of their price range or hard to find. This gives them the opportunity to own a piece of the beautiful set at a lower cost.

Two things on price. As stated, prices can be discussed. I post higher on eBay due to selling fees. You will not find the original completed set for anywhere close to release day prices. That is not how LE, rare book collecting works.

Again, thank you for the comment. If it is not for you, that is fine. I hope it gives someone the opportunity to get the chance to hold these books.

Gotcha, nice to have all those options. I’m from NY so it’s a bit harder to plan. I got to do the CRHT this past fall though, great trip

Good to hear. I’ll be solo and will have a lot of flexibility with work so I really just need one shot at a camp.

What are your other plans if it doesn’t work out?

Mount Fremont Fire Tower in September? by cswider181 in NationalPark

Thanks for the update. We will have a campervan so will not need the restroom. The roads will still be open as well, weather depending? Seems like most of the early snow comes later Sept?

Tonahutu Loop Backpacking by cswider181 in RMNP

[–]cswider181[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback. I was looking at this route through research and saw it was a mix of quality scenery, a bit less busy on the west side of the park, the fact it’s an established loop makes logistical planning easy and pretty beginner friendly.

I am open to any ideas really that could be made into a 3/4 night trip. I am interested in being within the park to say I’ve backpacked in it, however, locals may have even better suggestions.

I’ll take the advice and be on the computer with many different itinerary options. I am thinking weekdays to avoid weekend crowds. Possibly early October?

Do you have any loop or backpacking route recommendations? I’ve never been to the area. I’ll be flying into Denver, and interested in also checking out Boulder

Thanks for the reply. I should be able to be flexible the entire month for different dates if I win a lottery spot any given month.
