That's why we are having a diesel shortage. Ha hs

Mine is duly registered and titled. Farmers was more than happy to insure it. We set an agreed $20,000 value.

The lat/ lon is listed down the sides of the Gazetteer maps so just get that from your phone and look it up on the paper maps. I carry a sextant with me for backup.

GPS is cool but a lot of hassle getting the right maps and such. I have had mine crap out multiple times. I try to never go anywhere without GOOD paper maps. Not the best, but Delorme makes the Gazetter series of maps by state.

The problem in Colorado is that you are typically in a canyon or down low. The repeaters are rarely even close to line of site which is commonly around a half mile. If you can get to the top of a mountain, ham works pretty good but there are lots of areas with zero coverage. Terrain means...

Radio communications is sketchy at best in the mountains. More power rarely helps. The best bet is satellite. I love the gal that ran off the road and down a mountain in Rocky Mtn Park. She was there for several days. She tried to sue the park, saying it was a government responsibility and...

I checked it out and the trail is not in the closed area.

I've been here working for two months. I am an aerospace engineer. I am just getting settled so I can go out. I ran a trail up to Crown King a couple of weeks ago from the south. It isn't the standard way and I did a 50 mile loop out through the desert. It was cool but I was by myself and...

I am new to the area and want to find all the best trails. Anybody have any tips, or want to tag along? I am hoping to head out tomorrow or Saturday July 18 for anything from one to three days. Like to take lots of pix and with the recent rains, hopefully the desert will be blooming.

Wanting to head out this weekend July 16... Anybody have plans. Was thinking of running Crown King but I am new to the area and living in Prescott. Could use some tips on good trails and places to photograph. Tom Houston 970-391-8927

What trail was that? I am going to go out this weekend somewhere. Looking for company. Anything from a day trip to three days works for me. I'm living in Prescott at the moment, We need to grab lunch sometime.

Put a cap right at the LED and a ferrite a couple of inches away towards the switch.

I am looking at kicking up to a 50gig pixel Nikon from my 24gig pixel. It will require a whole new suite of lenses.

Nothing fancy but here are some pix of my solo run Friday. It was 107 at the bottom and 102 at Crown King, 7200ft elevation My gopro mounted on the windshield crapped out due to the heat. I started the trail just north of Phoenix at Lake Pleasant and and wound up the mountains for over 70...

Spoken by someone who surely has years of experience (sic). I worked as a surveyor and never saw any inaccuracy with a compass that had a bubble. If you have to be within one degree, I want to hear how you compensate for local magnetic fields such as minerals in the rock, or a wrist watch, or...

Why is everybody worried about a bubble. I has no bearing in the operation.

Nothing other than the hot water kettle pulls that much power.

Then she kicks you out of bed when she gets too hot.

My frustrations lie in people that think if they buy all the cool stuff that they immediately become an expert. In rock crawling for instance, they argue that if you don't have 42" tires you are a nobody. Hell I ran all the hardest trails in Colorado back in the day on 31's whey they were...
