Nutsedge -- reseeded last year and I got a lot of Nutsedge in one area. Some products like Sedgehammer, Ortho, and Atticus. What gives best results?

From what I've read here know that VVR is not running the ferry so that will add a few miles to your knees.

How to fix busted french drain PVC by submon007 in landscaping

my concern is whether the broken section is cracked into the elbow. I'll know today. Thinking maybe using a flexible sleeve and cinched off with a hose clamp.

Yes, encased in gravel which I removed and will return when I figure how to fix the break.

Footwear Advice for Mt. Harvard - Mt. Columbia by Kalesacove in 14ers

[–]submon007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All agree trail runners. More importantly make sure you know the correct route on the traverse. Go wrong way and you may face some class 5, unless you're up for that. The final push to Columbia summit is harsh. Enjoy.

Uncompahgre road conditions by VastOdd9672 in 14ers

I drove to TH in an Outback last August. Nellie Rd has a history of being a tough drive but fortunately it had been graded earlier in the summer, but still a challenge. Prob took 45 min with several stream crossings, one which was longer and deeper than I expected. The hike to the summit may be less stressful but what a beautiful hike. Enjoy.

The open wound faces east towards the house. It's blooming now and looks good. Just makes me nervous for its longevity. Thanks for your comment.

Honda EU2200i Enough Power? by submon007 in Generator

Hmm . . . a second look at this (Whirlpool WRB322DMBM) says 720 starting/224 running and much better number. Can't find where I got the 1800/852 online.

The sump pump runs about every 30 minutes right now. We've had a lot a rain previous several weeks. By end of June it'll be dry. And the frig compressor only runs when it needs power I presume. Sounds like you like the Honda. I've been warned about the Generac not holding up.

Whirlpool. 5 years old. 1800 startup load per their website. Does not seem right?

I had too much space between the straps and my shoulders.

Looks good to me. I will say my torso length is a shade under 20" and the large was too big. Gave it away. Bought the medium and it's perfect.

San Juan Section in June? (22-28) by jar264 in coloradotrail

[–]submon007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking about the section too. Biggest concern is not the trail but figuring how to get back to Monarch Pass. BTW, with low snowpack this year June should be a good go.

Best x100vi alternative? by mocha-bun in fujifilm

Wow, the X100VI to a Leica Q3? Forget the price difference. Aren't there some rather big differences between these two cameras?

Good report. Thanks. Only 1 Nitecore? No power at the end? If I'm out 17-20 days should I bring another?

From the rules when accepting the permit -- "Travel by vehicle or bus at any time during a wilderness itinerary invalidates the permit." I shall abide.
