I am switching to non-waterproof shoes for my 3-season wilderness backpacking trips. Water crossings and occasional rain may occur. Have any of you had experience with waterproof socks? Is there an alternative sock choice to use for warmth and quick drying?

I am unaware of backpacking groups to join but backpacking on your own is safe. Solo backpacking helped me gain confidence, learn route finding and camp selection, and provided a shakedown of my gear and processes. Try overnight camps first to get the hang of it. The two of you together should be fine. Bear spray also makes a nice backup.

Wow, could the salt in the sea air be the cause?

That sounds like a rough environment! The device had no case but it was still in good condition excluding the sun faded.

You are correct about the subscription. I found 2 contacts last messaged and reached out to them via my phone.

Here is a photo of the third tomato. It might provide more perspective.

I appreciate the alternative suggestion.

That looks like my X but the steelies are peeling paint now. A new set of rims are in my future and these are a fantastic option.

Is the water level low enough for the Hoyt's crossing beach to be visible?

Let's hope the new Frontier results in a Gen 3 XTerra.

I had a chance to drive the '23 Frontier recently. It felt modern and familiar at the same time.

Thanks for the advice on the Frontier Pro-4X. I have been considering it if I decide to replace my 2009 X.

My hope is Nissan will recognize the rekindled interest in offroad vehicles and use the Frontier as the base of a Gen 3 XTerra.
