CBI is in Idaho, fwiw.

At least Zinke won't have to fly commercial.

x2 on that for sure.

I agree that financial filtering is not in the spirit of the parks but I've also tried a number of times to 'win' lotteries 6 months in advance without success. In a lot of cases there are slots available locally by lottery as well on a day by day basis, but that also costs money for many folks...

My problem with the lottery system (other than the fact that I have yet to ever 'win' a spot ;) ) is that folks who travel long distances to see the parks often can't hang around long enough to get in. Neither system is ideal; fees favor those who can afford them and the lottery favors those...

A secondary reason may be to reduce overcrowding.

Nice TR and pictures, and x2 on the joys of fly fishing.

Sadly too, a lot of what were 'boondocking' places in the east are being posted no camping because they have been trashed by over use and under appreciation for the resource. :(

I have an Eagle in my 6' bed 2nd gen Tacoma and think it's the perfect fit for the truck.

Thanks folks.

Went back up to the Smokies to see how the color had progressed in a week. Looks like the leaves that were showing some color last week were mostly down and not a lot of new ones changing. Had a nice crisp evening at camp with a great steak, mushroom and potato dinner on the Skottle, though. And...

I have one that I've used in fly tying but hadn't thought about camper repairs, good idea.

Based on that time of year I'd be tempted to drive down the Oregon and California coast and then east by Joshua Tree, the Mojave, etc.

Here is the OSHA rule: Grounding Requirements for Portable and Vehicle-mounted Generators Under the following conditions, OSHA directs (29 CFR 1926.404(f)(3)(i)) that the frame of a portable generator need not be grounded (connected to earth) and that the frame may serve as the ground (in place...

Thanks guys, we're going back next week to see how the colors are going.

A little fall color in the Smokies.

Sliders and running boards are two very different things. Sliders attach to the vehicle frame and, at least mine, don't stick down below it.

Check with CBI Offroad Fab and see if they have sliders for your truck. They make both bolt on and weld on sliders.

I like my Eagle/Tacoma combo but I did upgrade my suspension and tires.

Take the Blue Ridge Parkway over to Cherokee if you have time. Looking Glass falls is a short way off the parkway as well if you like that sort of thing.

Wish I could but I'm working on a Habitat house that Saturday. [emoji853]

Now that the D850 is out you should start seeing a number of used D800 and D810 for sale (and maybe D500's as well) and I expect the prices will drop as more and more hit the market.

Will do.

I haven't had a DX lens in years but my last one was a Sigma 10-20 and it was an excellent lens. If their 18-200 and 18-300 lenses are the same quality they might be something to look at.
