    North Cascades Loop (Washington State)

    Once I get a bike hwy 20 will be the first place I take it. There were a bunch that weekend I was there because of the beautiful weather. Thanks for the info on Ross Lake, I was itching to stop and spend a night there but was running short on time. I'll save that for the next adventure! Thanks...

    North Cascades Loop (Washington State)

    The colors were fantastic. I ended up racing the clock to get over the pass so I didn't have as much time as I would have liked to do a couple hikes. I'm trying to go again in another couple weeks. I'm hoping to try some new glass on my camera. We'll see how that works out.

    North Cascades Loop (Washington State)

    I ended up cutting my trip short because of the cold. Looking back on it, going on a road trip through Eastern Washington in the fall with no heater wasn't such a great idea. But I really did enjoy my trip even if it was by myself. The beauty of solo trips is that you are never really alone...

    Whidbey Island is absolutely gorgeous. If you haven't been there, I highly recommend a visit. My favorite area was the southern end which was mostly farms and vast fields with 19th century homes scattered about. All in all, a great place to catch a sunset. The northern part of the island was...

    North Cascades Loop (Washington State)

    <i>Picture this. A twenty-degree night while traveling through a mountain pass in a soft-top Jeep with no heater. "I'll be fine" I told my dad as I left for my trip... little did I know.</i> I had been planning this trip for months now, but I had to work around the schedule of Hwy 20...

    Seattle to Death Valley

    Gorgeous shots! I really want to make it down there this spring to shoot some photography. I'm hoping to take a two weeks or so off to drive down 101 along the coast, over to death valley, then up to Yosemite, and maybe crater lake. These shots really inspired me! :)

    Makes me wonder what you torqued the inner locknut to? I've never had a problem with my wheel bearings loosening up. (the factory spec is waaaay too low) Try 180-200 ft. lbs. The TTB is a great setup for street/offroad use. Not so great for rockcrawling or massive amounts of articulation. The...

    You need a flywheel and clutch, clutch peddle and line, and a PCM for a manual transmission. The swap is straight forward and only takes a dedicated couple days to finish. Well worth it! ;)
