    Getting to Mount / Washington without a mudder vehicle or dirtbike?

    Once Again Loud Booms are Reported

    Just a wild guess that the booms are from a SR-71 flying from Virginia to the Ukraine for pictures. We might be told in thirty years or so.

    There was mention in the AP article posted by Teegate about, hikers stabbing a mountain biker over a right-of-way dispute. A quick look through some on-line articles about this incident shows it was less like a dispute and more like an unprovoked attack. With the attacking hiker facing an...

    Dash Cam

    Coincidently, this video about the legalities of dashcams was in my feed last night. The lawyer spoke to the problems someone will face if they delete the file or throw the camera away after an accident.

    Maurice River Dredging

    I read that the state is offering to buy many of the homes on Money Island. Which I guess would make it like Thompson's Beach in a decade or two.

    An off-road bicycle association chapter maintains the MTB trails. An outdoor club maintains the hiking trails. Trail maintenance is supervised by staff.

    Food Truck at Batsto

    My new ride

    Nice Jeeps! Day after NYD, I traded in my 4Runner Trail for a Tacoma TRD. I like the change. The motor is not as strong. But it drives, handles, stops, much better and funner.

No big problems in 100k miles. The stock shocks were replaced around 40k, and the bad PRND sensor (common problem) replaced...
