Hey, I recognize that truck and that dude in the low viz jacket! More cold weather camping, Andrew?

Do you think the heat may have helped as well?

Maybe, just maybe......Forrest Fenn is behind the Monolith Mysteries!

When shooting metal targets from inside 25 yards, I suggest standing off to one side just a bit. It's possible for a bullet to fragment and come straight back and hit the shooter when standing straight on. Don't ask me how I know.

I have asthma, my wife has lung cancer (3 years in remission, probably got it from second hand smoke from her father, but who knows she never smoked one single time) otherwise we are both quite healthy and active and aren't on a crap ton of meds. We have been protective of her since the...

I had a thought this week. I wonder about mask effectiveness....one could say that more people than ever are wearing masks and yet more people than ever are getting sick. I realize that it's a super simplistic statement and not a scientific approach, but I haven't really heard anything since...

If it's just for parts, I question what you'd really need to have......perhaps just a letter from the property owner stating the timeline of how he came to "possess" it, and a bill of sale? If that VIN is not going to make it out on the road, I don't really see what problem to solve other than...

I can't find solid info, but it appears that night time temps were 16-19 degrees. Sleeping was fine, but you sure didn't want to get out of the sleeping bag in the morning!!

Day Two we ventured off to find the White Wash Sand Dunes (neither of us had ever been there). I had built in some "navigation" into a new GPS app I'm using and while it worked, I however have some learning to do!! When building the route to the Dunes, late at night, the night before we left for...

Well, Rot Box and I (wife and dogs included) went ahead and meandered the Swell Friday and Saturday. We met up at the Wedge Overlook as planned and ran down Buckhorn Draw Rd/Temple Mountain Rd all the way to Goblin Valley. We took in the views and the wildlife and some diversions. We ran over...

Good thread! I'm grateful to still be here and struggling through 2020. It's been one for the ages for everyone. I'm grateful to still be employed, to have a roof over my head, for a healthy family that also are all employed and happy. I'm glad that we got my daughter married (between covid...

And the tire balancing weights!!! I know how you like to be thorough!! ;)

We well head out early on Friday morning and are about 4 hours away.....shooting to arrive at 10 (ish) Red JKU. We'll bring some firewood as well. I have a couple of ideas on where to go, but we can discuss and I'll bring my good maps of the Swell. It will be me, my wife Nancy, and the attack...

I'll look at maps tonight....we're game. Temple Mtn Rd from the Wedge south to Goblin is more scenic than you'd think, really nice, and super easy road. That would take us to Goblin Valley....the Campground at Gobilin still has a couple of tent sites open. The Mrs said as long as we can have a...

We are thinking go down and meet up on Friday AM......run the Swell area and camp somewhere...Goblin Valley? Then some add'l exploring on Saturday and we'll likely camp along the river by Moab Sat. nite.....and wiggle our way home on Sunday.
