Now back to the weather... -9°F this morning- won't get above 0°F today. :ph34r: Good day to hang out indoors and eat leftovers. :)

Dodged a winter storm here. Heading into the deep freeze now. The solstice here means we are heading into the coldest time of winter in spite of the increasing daylight. It takes a while for things to turn. But we are thankful for the season just the same. x2!

Yes, cold- but not as cold as I remember as a kid. One winter day, probably in the late 1960s or early 1970s, I was directed to go pick up my Grandma at her place and bring her over for dinner. I went out to start the family car and the gear shift lever snapped off in my hand- true story. It...

MarkBC: maybe this will make you feel better (or maybe not...). While we may get some snow, it will be colder than we would like for the holiday. :)

x2! Good shots! What a neat area to have close by.

I missed this the first time around also. Looks like a great trip. Thanks for posting your report!

Wow! Way cool photos. Thanks for posting them.

Thanks for sharing another nice trip. Those hot springs look pretty good to me as we descend into winter here. :)

You're welcome. I liked it as well.

Nice!

Not all in Utah are in favor. Here is the Salt Lake Tribune editorial response to the event: http://www.sltrib.com/opinion/editorial/2017/12/07/tribune-editorial-anti-monument-celebration-was-utah-at-its-very-worst/

Yes, nice to hear some good conservation news!

Well done on the birthday trip! I enjoyed the report. As others have said, I appreciate the effort you put into them. Thanks!

Nice photo- looks like a nice campsite.

Nice photos. We had clear skies Saturday night for a good look but clouds last night obscured the view.

I've had this problem and since discovered that Google Photos does not support sharing photos on forums- very frustrating. I used to do it using Picasa but Google discontinued that. Lately, I either put the photos in a blog posting or upload to the forum gallery. Not totally satisfactory.

Wow, that looks like a great trip! Nice photos, thanks for the report!

Well, that should be accurate... I guess I can't believe everything I read on the internets, haha. I'm just jealous 'cause my newer truck carries less weight. I have a shell camper and am still overweight sometimes.

Check out this page: https://truckyeah.jalopnik.com/the-1986-toyota-truck-and-2016-toyota-tacoma-compared-s-1710386683 The GVWR for your Tacoma is approx. 3900 lbs, so you are similarly overweight. The 86 Taco's curb weight is 2800 lbs vs 4000 for the 2016. The newer trucks have gotten a lot...

Great idea for a trip- tracking down interesting relatives. Interesting to speculate what life was like there. My Dad's family were ranchers in South Dakota before the Depression (when they lost everything in drought and severe winters). I've often thought it would be fun to try and find their...

What a great hike! Cool rocks too. Hard to imagine the processes that resulted in those rock formations. Thanks for the report- looking forward to the next installments. Have a good turkey day!

Just finished a day of cooking. Tomorrow the turkey... Looking forward to family time. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Welcome to WTW. Lots of these old campers being brought back to life here. You are in good company!

Exciting! Remember to fill the propane tank before leaving town (I didn't, haha). Have fun camping and post up some photos when you get home. :)

You won't be sorry. I made a spout out of pipe parts: I agree about the wrench. I've been going to make one of those too but haven't gotten around to it. I use a strap wrench now. Works, but I think I could make a nice wrench out of oak, or maybe baltic birch.
