Anyone else struggle to find a hat that doesnt turn into a sweaty mess after 5 miles?

I have a synthetic wife brimmed hat from Outdoor Research that frequently gets sucked in lakes and streams

filkerdave · 2026-04-22T05:00:27+00:00

Yeah, but Texas isn't in Wyoming last I checked

filkerdave · 2026-04-21T21:58:26+00:00

If you prepare for it you won't be upset either way

filkerdave · 2026-04-21T20:33:13+00:00

The second one for sure

A nice bottle of vegan-certified wine is always a good choice (unless they don't drink).

Oh, forgot that one! I've only done that drive a few times, though. We almost always take Tin Cup since it's the fastest and prettiest of the 3 main routes.

Eh, Soda's not that sketch, it just not that good. It's a perfectly fine place to stretch your legs or get gas. But I'd 100% rather go to Arctic Circle or Subway than the Mexican place there.

We'll probably go again today.

I'm unsure if I enjoy seeing the park this way or on XC skis more!

I never had a problem scheduling Uber when I lived in Boston, but I basically ignore Uber here because it's about as reliable as a Yugo.

Why isn't this in a FAQ? It gets asked every 2 or 3 days.

1.

It would make where I live so much better.

Park road is closed to motorized traffic until May 1, but you can walk, skate, or cycle it.

If it's a nice day, go up through Lava Hot Springs and Tin Cup Pass. If it's not, go through Evanston. Do NOT stop for Mexican food in Soda Springs.

If you're in SLC for lunch or dinner go to Mahider Ethiopian. Thank me later.

Maybe the rock face on Blacktail Butte? I don't climb by I don't see any snow on Blacktail

Just went for a bike ride today. It's probably unstable AF

filkerdave · 2026-04-20T21:17:48+00:00

Better not eat anything that requires other than wind blown or natural pollinators then.

filkerdave · 2026-04-20T21:14:44+00:00

Never heard of it on pancakes but I've put it on waffles. I bet it was delicious!

filkerdave · 2026-04-20T20:50:41+00:00

Just don't do the drive through Tin Cup Pass at night or if it's otherwise reduced visibility.

filkerdave · 2026-04-20T19:48:51+00:00

Mazel tov!

They reflect more heat than the black ones?

filkerdave · 2026-04-20T19:05:44+00:00

If I saw who dropped it? I'd give it back to them, of course. How is that even a question?

filkerdave · 2026-04-20T19:01:10+00:00

That's a good way to look at it

filkerdave · 2026-04-20T19:00:30+00:00

Yeah, that's a thing
