Doesn’t look like a lot of snow in them there mountains

Starting some SAS4 prep now that the weather and my procrastination is getting better.

 

[Manitou Decline]

Went out and got lost in the mountains this weekend. Had this 18 yr old kid find me and said he needed pulled out. I now have a ticking noise during acceleration that I got to look into. Got to get these runs in to make sure it is SAS ready.

And also.... stay the trail

Yeah @Hojack We had a good start to winter this year but we didn't get the normal big spring snow showers. Whole state is in a fire ban. We had to do propane fire places.

Worked at the Mt. Hood Brewing Company today into the evening getting the well system moved to new building for expanded brewing. Scored a growler of Hogsback Oatmeal Stout

Cant wait til SAS4. Was working or this pic would have my 60

Why so many pressure tanks?? While I’ve used multiple pressure tanks 15 or 20 years ago if your water source can’t keep up with demand a couple of thousand gallon tank with a pressure pump seems like the best option these days.

Sounds like things are opening up in Colorado.

 

[Manitou Decline]

We are slowly opening up. Still under a state wide fire ban

Years ago they had a 1,000 gallon steel tank with an air compressor to keep the tank air charged. The tank rusted out so we removed the tank and installed these tanks. Later we pulled the pump and converted to a VFD with 3 phase motor. The Brewery expanded last year and so we decided to install all the tanks as they were already there and they had space. More tanks give more storage and longer run time. One tank would have worked just fine with a VFD system.

Thanks, I was just wondering. As the bladders go bad you’ll lose pressure quicker, but if you have them you might as well use them.

Confirmation on the presence of Sasquatch/ AKA Darrel in the San Juans...

 

[Dilspec]

Makes me real happy to see this.

does anybody have a status on when Colorado will open its national forest campgrounds? I was hoping to go up to Grand Mesa above Delta and Montrose and explore those places. Per Jeremiah Proffitt the ones around him are still closed.

I haven't heard of anything positive yet. I have been hearing that they are thinking of closing the forest down and will give out tickets... Praying that doesn't happen.

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

Be patient folks. We are working every day on ways to keep our gathering open. Still a ways out and things are changing daily.

I also want to add when I say forest, I do not mean the trails we do at SAS. I mean wilderness and NF dispersed camping. I have zero doubt that we will all meet in August. I cant wait to see everyone. I am with @mesa man on this, have a strong immune system, and live your life.
