    What not to do?

    Roof racks. I have tried to cheap out twice with low price roof racks. The first rather self destructed, with the help of my girlfriend who doesn't understand clearance under tree limbs. The second is probably 5 inches narrower than the first, and won't hold much more than my spare. They always...

    Why did you go with your current vehicle?

    I bought the first ZJ as my pickup is a dual 1 ton and I had lost capability for the high mountain trails. the Jeep was available from someone I knew moving out of state and paid 1,000 for it. I discovered about 1,500 worth of parts in it, I had a capable trail vehicle, and it's slightly larger...

    Strange occurrences and tales of the unexplained!

    A long time ago while living near the front range in Colorado, a friend and I took his 8 ft. plastic boat into a glacial Circ lake just below timberline. Wanting to be on the water at sunrise, we launched the boat in the dark of predawn. After rowing from shore we began to hear strange moaning...

    You don't know how much I agree. The older I get the more geocentric I get. I just can't live without having a view of the Rockies.

    Fly Fishing

    Winter of 74/75 it never got above -50 through January. I remember stopping my car to shoot at a coyote in North Park one year and got back in the car, put it in drive, and it never moved. I could get out and watch the rears spinning but not gaining traction on the ice.

    New Mexico Hiking And Astrophotography

    These are marvelous. I used to be able to see the Milky Way almost every night from my place, but over the years light pollution has almost blocked it entirely.

    Wonderful write up and intro. Any time you hit SW Colorado again, hit me up. I would be delighted to make a run with you and maybe show you some new trails.

    Your worst mechanical fail???

    Wish I had pics, but years ago lost the pitman arm link on a K10 Chevy with an overhead camper on a winding road out of Los Alamos, NM. Got it shut down on the side of the road before we went over the edge. Stayed the night in the camper, and next morning I used about 20 feet of baling wire to...

    Fly Fishing

    Outstanding. Loved the area, but only place in the lower 48 I knew had worse weather than Hayden was Walden. 40 years ago, I used to hunt coyotes in that area. I need to take a run back up there this coming spring.

    Fly Fishing

    You have to be kidding me. I went to high school in Hayden CO, and we got snowed in one night after a basketball game in Walden. When I used to come out of Ft. Collins back to Hayden when the roads were bad, I always turned up through Wyoming and came down through Walden to go over Rabbit Ears...
