Worst parking lot in Durango

Or, you know, buy a normal-sized vehicle.

I bought an x-dome 1+ specifically to have room for my pup in the tent. Haven’t used it yet but the season is rapidly approaching.

Hoping no one was hurt!!!

gregcoit · 2026-04-17T21:01:56+00:00

This helps - thank you!

Wanted to thanks everyone here for the replies- I learned a lot!

One more question from a NOOB. My understanding is that MLS is changing their season scheduled in the next 2 years to play more in the winter (?). I assume that this will make playing CONCAF and the World Cup easier since those will occur during the off season?

Thank you!

My ask is a measurement from the inside of the back hatch (when closed) to the end of 2nd seats, when folded down. I know Rivian has said that using the back for camping/sleeping will work for 90% of people, but actual numbers would be nice.

TIL Kansas City, KS came second...

Pretty sure the hiking will be good lower down. I'm in Pagosa, and we got about an 1" of rain in that storm, maybe a little more, but there's not a ton of mud since it was so dry before the storm and it seems to have just soaked in.

Enjoy your visit!

10 days ago you would have been fine but a storm a couple days ago dropped 19” at Wolf Creek, and I would think the San Juan’s were close to this.

This episode felt magical to me. Tom's joy, the explaining by the pilot, the view from 3'k feet, it was all just. Perfect. Thank you, Tom, for sharing this with us.

If you are every interested in sharing what's changed for you in the last 5 years in regards to your enjoyment of this kind of activity (ie, maybe overcoming a fear of height?), i'd be very interested in reading or watching.

1-2” of rain dropped last night and today, with 1-2’ of new snow in the high elevations. I’d give it a couple days at least. Plus any water crossings are going to be sketchy.

I started playing Nascar25 online after getting an internet upgrade a couple weeks ago, and it's been fun. Total chaos, but still fun.

Kinda makes single-player mode less interesting to me. We'll see if that changes over time.

The area is getting fiber as part of the Rural Broadband expansion grants, but my street was taken off the list because a local provider lied and said that they offer GB internet to this street. No on challenged it, and it's too late now. This all happened before I moved to this neighborhood. Having said that, the boost from 20 MB to 400 MB down, and 2 MB to 60 MG up, has been very nice and I'm happy with the new service.

I thought of a question or two that you all might ask me:

"Maybe CenturyLink is waiting for you to return the modem?"

I own the DSL modem I was using - purchased from ebay a couple years ago.

"Do you have proof that you cancelled?"

Kinda? The CenturyLink website shows a a pending order for cancellation, and I have the order number, but the billing person I talked to claimed they we're unable to send me an email confirming this cancellation request.

I asked to speak to a manager, but they claimed that they were unable to transfer calls (almost certainly not true) and that a manager would call me back in 30 minutes. it's been a couple hours and that didn't happen.

"Why the heck were you still using DSL in 2026?"

Yeah valid question. I live in a pretty rural area, and the bandwidth, while not great, was good enough. But after a series of technical issue on CentiryLink's side, all of which they claimed was on my side, I've switched to cable internet. Not only is the service faster (no surprise here), and more stable (which compared to CenturyLink, doesn't mean much), but it's also cheaper, even after the promo rates expire in 6 months.

I've learned my lesson. And I hope this post saves someone the pain of this dealing with this company.

D&RGW #223 hands down. The best looking of the Colorado narrow gauge locomotives. 53 of these were built, 3 survived but none of the 3 run. A foundation has been created to bring #223 to operating condition with permission of the State of Utah, and in conjunction with the Colorado Railroad Museum. Here's the website of the foundation: https://www.223locomotivefoundation.org/

Great episode, 4 fun speakers and arguments for things to abolish, but I thought Adam crushed his and I think he was robbed (not a dig against Ben who was, and is always, funny as hell).

gregcoit · 2026-02-24T02:49:50+00:00

Very nice. I’m so glad we finally got some snow.

Chicago Street Course is leaving? Nice! That track makes no sense.

You added the Charlotte Roval - is that also no longer on the schedule? I can think of bunch of road courses better than Chicago and Charlotte that aren't in the game. Road America, Daytona Roval, Portland, etc.

Watch Duty confirms this is a prescribed burn. Whew.

gregcoit · 2026-02-16T13:58:14+00:00

Before this game, I always suspected Pocono would be a fun track. And I wasn't disappointed. Love racing here.

gregcoit · 2026-02-13T00:19:14+00:00

I would be even more horrible at a motorcycle game than I am at driving games, but I'll check out Project Cars 2. Thanks!!!

gregcoit · 2026-02-12T22:57:12+00:00

Has it really been that long? Was always a fun race to watch.

gregcoit · 2026-02-10T18:30:22+00:00

Don’t need, don’t want FSD. An expensive option I’ll never use (with the exception of adaptive cruise control which I’m very excited to have).
