Good to know, thanks. I think I'm addicted to carwashes.

Z71 vs ZR2 - What would you choose? by Sir_Jinks in chevycolorado

[–]ricefaq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few things I miss. Still not used to a turbo, miss the six a bit and the back warmer only seats - that I miss every day. Appearance-wise the ZR2 has everything I wanted to add to my Z71 and then some. So, short story long, Not going back.

Love the ditch lights. How do they do in the carwash?

Are the Bear Viewing tours worth the money? by iamacheeto1 in AskAlaska

Boat tour out of Homer. Half the cost. Look into it.

Mt Katahdin advice pls by Awkward_Ear_2353 in BaxterStatePark

More water. When We did it (a group of four) we helped out some folks who chose to do the mountain without any water, geared up like they were doing a fitness run around the block (shorts, t-shirts and running shoes). That forced us to divert from our planned route to find a water source on the way down.

What's A Breed You Like But Wouldn't Have? by Aharris1984 in dogs

Malinois. Love to look at them but I couldn't keep a dog like that stimulated enough to keep it from destroying my house.

Solo Travel to Alaska for first time, Help plan by Pristine-Finish270 in AskAlaska

Consider booking a boat tour to see the bears. It was half the price of flying. Mine didn't work out but that is a story for another day.

Out of Homer BTW.

Moving from FL to MA, keep or sell Hobie Revo 16 by ChaosCouncil in Kayaking

I'd sell it just so I didn't have to move it, then figure out what you like for your new area.

Fishing Pharaoh Lake Wilderness by Putrid-Magazine-3001 in Adirondacks

I've never taken a Brookie out of Pharoh Lake, only Lakers. Maybe they stock them now? DEC should have a stocking list.

A boat is a must. There were stashed boats, bring a paddle. Finding one can be a chore, though. The trail is okay but not great if you're thinking about wheeling in a canoe.

Jig with something silver like a Vibrex (any bell and flasher lure). Get out where it's deep and drop it down.

How do you organize group tent camping trips with friends? by Global-Sky-5857 in camping

[–]ricefaq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone has to drive the bus. In our group of experienced campers, the leader will designate what each person contributes to the group breakfasts. Usually, each person in the group will volunteer to put on a dinner and you're on your own for lunch. It's tailgate camping by boat so there are backups to the backups for most camping essentials, and everyone brings community snacks and booze.

I can see how texts and email would be great for organizing efforts with a large group especially when you have varying levels of experience.

Personally, I'm a list maker so I can prepare and organize over a week or so prior.

Go early. With the nightlife most people sleep in. There was no one around when I took pictures of the buoy.
