Welikecamping The reason as a family that we camp campgrounds and typically avoid them between July 2nd - August 20th is due to the lack of flexibility in our schedule. The only way we can “go camping is having a reserved spot to land” Yellowstone trip before July 2nd / before covid was...

I race sail boats and have been around the design and building of modern competitive composite boats. All the Fiber glass RV stuff is chopper gun spray in stuff. Which is basically not a engineered composite structure. From a generic comparison aspect a “engineered” composite structure shares a...

They both look great. Decks are fun the work / reward factor is a nice balance.

You haven’t ventured beyond the parking lots I take it?

I bet its $130,000?

The bronc sport over heat diff issue was only the low trim basic version lacking the added cooler. The higher trim gets a different setup same setup Ford was wheeling in Moab during final testing. If your shopping a Cross trek for cheap transportation then the basic bronc sport trims are in the...

We have one of the first New state campgrounds going into a severely lacking region on an old defunct US base here in CA on the coast dhould be done this next yr. Its a small step in the right direction. Lots of great cycling trails in that area and close to a major US tourism destination. Its...

Oregon and Washington is loaded with super talented and highly skilled crafts people!! Some of the best boats, camping gear and even bike racks are coming out of that region all using locally made stuff wherever possible. This is great to see!! Nice kit!!

Agreed Not to mention more properly engineered hiking and biking trails!! Regions that have taken to bike trail development have seen increases in event permits, small business growth etc. All good , healthy and low impact stuff. Sadly the ATV stuff has gone off the stupid scale even long time...

Tow companies clear illegally parked cars pretty damn fast.

First come first serve is not the solution ? Best fix I’ve come across is the old fashion telephone call to a real person at the campground with a reservation book?. Cant game that.

Today in my region you send the neighbors college kid 4 days ahead of your desired arrival with a trunk full of beer as payment to secure a site. If they fail you skip the trip and they got a fun beer bender in the woods for free.

If I were shopping Outback/ Forester Trek etc today the Bronco sport would trump them for a number of reasons some big due to established decent engines and transmission history along with better capability both terrain and rear hatch / shape etc. ? I was huge on Subaru for 20+ yrs fantastic...

In my region lots of heavy daily commuting then long hot summer loaded trips Sierras etc my local dealer prior to selling out his techs were awesome. They said most of the cvts have pretty cruddy fluid by 60,000 miles and should likely get a drain fill by that point. Today same region all 6...

The various types of packaging- I’m guessing GFC is using whatever is locally available at time of shipping so every buyer is likely seeing different packaging ?. Ie Crap shoot

8.2kwh system in California between May-August no marine layer impacting full solar day you do between 30kwh and 50kwh - 50 being in July only. Thats also a cool coastal location not a hot location where 20-60% hit on production due to high heat is a factor ie Mexico ? Panels need to go 200x...

Yep!!!

Vacation with kids doesn’t work with roll of the dice “we might get a spot” approach. I have two weeks in the summer where kids sports schedule and work make a trip most practical. Its not being gambled on First Come first serve which in my region gets snatched up by available friends and family...

Yes huge problem!!! But has been going on for about 15yrs. Its such a huge business the scalpers are using custom code and high speed automated robo booking software to book up open slots the moment they are opened up. Its so pervasive there are Face Book groups actually named “canceled camp...

Socal sun eats tires! Same with norcal sun. Once tires are 5+yrs old its a fast down hill run in tire decomp. Rubber continues to cure add sun / heat it cures quicker, as it cures its less flexible so any flexing will cause cracking etc
