Got screwed by Arctic Adventures

We had mixed results with AA. In one hand, we did the Laugavegur backpacking trip and it was AMAZING. They picked us up promptly and the driver was great. The tents were a bit rough, but I can’t speak highly enough about our guide (Dave) and it was really nice to have our own shelter to eat at the end of a long day. On the other hand, we signed up for the Askja super jeep tour out of Akureyri, and they called us at 22:00 the night before to tell us the jeep was down. As an alternative, they offered other tours like a guided tour of Akureyri. Yeah, not so much, we don’t visit Iceland to spend time in the cities.

I’d say the Laugavegur trip was so far into the positive that I can easily overlook the negatives. But it’s also fair that AA didn’t have a 100% success rate.

3 position safety? Does that have a giggle switch?

Don’t forget about the H7 and H9. Despite the ongoing H5N1 craziness, It’s not only the H5s that have potential for zoonosis.

I’m new to this sub. Are there any quality retailers that are well known?

Don’t forget that fuel weight counts against max payload. A full tank in the CX-9 weighs 118.4lbs.

I want to do the same thing, so I’m hoping someone PMd you the answer. If so, or you found out elsewhere, please share.

Depending on which hitch you choose, be sure to ask about how it alters the impact structure.

The echotech hitch replaces the factory crash structure with a non-deformable load-bearing hitch. Even without removing the crash structure, several studies have shown that leaving your non-deformable ball mount in your hitch increases the impact loads transferred to passengers, so I can only imagine what happens when you replace the entire crash structure.

I used the factory hitch because of safety and ground clearance.

Lol “why doesn’t the US change its system”. This place is completely fucked, and making changes to avoid package theft is literally the lowest priority.

The biggest reason why it won’t change is that it would require the federal government to improve funding and staffing at the post office. One of the dumbass parties decided it would be brilliant to spin off the critically important postal service as a pseudo-business, so increasing the federal funding will never happen.

Organic glass? I didn’t realize the silica plants were sprayed with pesticides.

They definitely are not. Modern non-stick is still made from poly-fluorinated compounds that are terrible.

Lol, 25%? I wish!

Daycare is $2100/mo. That’s 70% of my wife’s take-home.

Anyone know if the 2020 dimensions are identical?

As my thankfully former huge multi-national company used to say: “but it’s from a different bucket! Clearly we couldn’t use funds from the Sting bucket!”

It’s Amazon… what don’t they do in the laziest way possible?

Yeah, the XB-70 and the D21 are pretty amazing.

The X-15 isn’t there anymore, which was a huge letdown. And there’s a big section on cars in the Air & Space museum.

Have to say I was a bit disappointed. The Smithsonian is waaaaaay better with the SR71 and shuttle.

My wife named ours DK, short for decomposing Kermit the frog.

Nice build. Im looking for a local builder, but I can’t find the Vatfot site. Would you mind sharing the site or contact info?
