So...Yoder

Hey I super appreciate the offer! I can make it up to camp or trailhead no prob, it's the fun stuff I would need a empty bed spot or something of the like.

If the dice roll out to not having my rover ready, any chance there's a seat or two open for ride alongs? Edit 🙃 I have a little car with a good gear ratio, I can make it to most gate keepers no problem. Just the actual fun stuff I would need a seat or two for

Speaking of trails, white pines has a couple ohv parks north of it, and a popular venue , blue mountain events center, a short ride up the logging roads. Just throwing more future trail ideas out there! I haven't explored them much myself and it would be nice to have a second vehicle if not more

I should make it! Golden pines is where I've been dumping the RV while up at the claim behind white pines. Nice folks and a fun campground with laundry and full RV hookups

Long time ago I'd throw a huge tarp down under the tent. Then throw an extra sleeping bag over the tent. I was tired of crawling out into freezing temps, and the bags worked great for my body area, why not the whole tent? Worked great. Sizes vary for sure, but having it not completely cover the tent works well for making sure venting still happens. Humidity will build quick so move the bag and let air out frequently. (Didn't do this for a couple weeks and it wasn't pretty) In half an hour of playing cards the tent gets warm enough for t shirt. Little candle for a few minutes or cooking would get it hot. Fold the rest of the tarp over and tie up for a makeshift vestibule or weigh down around the tent for storms. Wool socks. Wool gloves, wool hat. Polyester under layer, fleece or wool fuzzy layer, puffy layer, tough/water layer. Last week I learned about Hygge. Pronounced "huega" it's the tradition of comfort and conviviality with wellness and contentment. There's a saying "there's no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes" that I've adopted. Bad weather is fun if your comfortable, so put that first.

Saw this cruising around for fun stuff. LT230 PTO with optional 1.2 gearing and 8k-30k winches. http://www.koenigwinches.com/

I may have to cancel. Misfire 4&6 came back. Gotta go through the motions and figure what it is. Just did plugs wires, but didn't do the coils. PO had the left cat clog and replaced it, original still on the right side, and it's had rpms creep down after holding steady... Could be easier than internal stuff at least!

Count me in! I've been eyballing Donnell lake and the ohv up there, probably is Niagra creek ohv. (Niagra rim is somewhere north). I'd probably scout this area before/after the trip. Its a ways off, but beardsley lake is beautiful, power boatable, but smaller camp ground. Caught a 14" brook trout at 2:30 in the afternoon just floating a worm throwing sticks for the dog. Gas is just down the road, but wasn't open at 5pm on a Sunday, bathroom break? I tried to get to Sand Bar 9. It's ten miles down ohv trail from the nearest campground at the end of the pavement. Another nice hosted campground. Lots of OHV trails lead out from here, if SPI didn't just permanently close their lands (I might have gate codes that still work🤣), they used to offer permits for camping on their land, and it would be possible to drive up to the Dardenelles and Slick Rock. I was looking for a place to ride down the long ridge on my mountain board and with the dogs when I found all this stuff. I got about a mile down the trail in my Civic coupe loaded up with too much gear before I was forced to turn around due to passenger and dogs, though it looks awesome on Google maps. Little resivoir and a bridge that looks like good jumping or tying a raft off to. The trail I was on has potential for some serious fun. Either because is an old overgrown narrow railroad log road or because of all the springs making washouts/falling rocks. The offshoots who knows!

I plan on coming by for a bit

We're planning on playing around Utica resivoir, head on down to camp if you don't find us

Reading this from camp (ATT provider) the link near the bottom of the first post is right on top of camp! Worked great for Google maps!

Count me in! Previous plans fell through, meeting up Thursday sounds great.

I've been looking around the Dardanelles for some wheeling for almost a year now, didn't realize slick rock was so close. Unfortunately I've had another camp trip planned since March for this weekend, if it falls through I might join, I'll be halfway there anyways

#3 isn't too pretty

Digging into the valve.cover gaskets... Yesterday I cleaned up the drip pan, oil mud so thick it was like play dough, even left my fingers clean The PCV on the intake was gooped with rtv, and some of these globs in the second pic actually feel 1/4" thick... First pic is the bottom of the intake second the plenum on the block... funnnn. Oh and the valve covers don't even have matching bolts.....Danger zone...... Scared to pull the covers and lose threads. Not to mention, every nut, bolt, and bracket that could be missing is. Nothing holding any of the sai stuff on (made things easy) It's going to look a lot better and run a lot better when I'm done. Any references for a hot tank shop? Should probably get the rest of the intake dipped as well... Ramble on
