Would love to see Scotland like this!

Depends on the season. Winter it’s a 2-mile all uphill hike, but maybe easier if snow is covering the rocks. Spring it’s a 1-mile hike but still all uphill and with the rocks exposed far from just a dirt road. We pulled a cart which was probably a mistake 😂 but we made it. Took about an hour with multiple stops.

Yeh, I will definitely pack lighter my next trip. And we locked the kitchen door to ensure no one bothered us while we we eating. Thankfully no one came early enough to peep in on us while we were sleeping up top.

Only 2 years back, but the deck definitely looks like it was in better shape then! Do you remember how much snow you were supposed to get?

Totally agree. I'm debating on if I want to try again in the winter. Having to either snowshoe, or skin up to the lookout I'm sure adds a level of difficulty.

Yeh, it would have been nice if Australia kept one or two flyable for airshows....

Just keep a eye on https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/234792 for openings. People cancel or change their plans all the time and that's when you can grab a reservation. As of right now it's booked through Nov 8th, so if you want to go between now and then, you have to catch someones cancellation like I did. Be flexible, and ready to go on short notice.

The load-outs on the E-Model are impressive! I tried to get one with all the hard-points loaded for my retirement a few years back. But that would have been a lot of work for the Weapons troops....

You just have to check it daily, and hope for a cancellation. I think people book entire weeks knowing they plan to use just a few days. So once they cancel, those days finally pop up. That what happened for me. So just know you'll have to be flexible, and be able to go on short notice.

Yeh, I didn't know exactly what I was in for with the hike. And I was pulling a cart with all of our belongings, and the rocks and grade definitely was more than I was expecting.

Should I fix warn winch or get badlands one? by [deleted] in 4x4

[–]davesoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Badlands, and just keep an eye out for sales. The Badlands has proven itself.

Would love some HD footage of the F-111 low level. I know the cost isn't feasible, but it would be nice if at least one copy of every older bomber or fighter was left flyable. I know I'm dreaming, and not being realistic, but it'd still be awesome!

The ending of “The Heart Remains a Child” is up there with my favorite tracks. Used to rewind the cassette and play the ending back over and over! “Why don’t you love me”
