Copy

You could run a section of metal mesh screen or small spaced chicken wire where the condeser was.

- was thinking of something along those lines as well - wonder if anyone has tried it? Thanks!

Did about a 1000 miles run down and back to Eastern OR for the eclipse with @xtiaan2000 who flew up from S. CA for the trip meet up with @Kleatus and @lovetoski

We ended up on top of Marble Pass between Baker City and Sumpter. The area outside of Sumter is all old gold mining and really cool.
If your looking to explore a place this would be it.

I think there needs to be another Seattle Crusier Head trip to that area.

We saw you there. Did not realize that was you. We (me and my boys) were in a dark blue 60 and pulled out on Saturday. Had spent the previous 4 days up at Slide Lake. Was overwhelmed by the # of folks on the trails and at the trail head when we came out. I've never seen that many people in the 20+ years I've been going to the Winds.

Saw you guys too!

Got some new shoes.

 

[LittleRedWgon]

@CUMAPART what size/type are those shoes?

 

[CUMAPART]

BFG Muds 33x10.50. Spare is my best old 33.

I surprising passed 3/4 of my emissions test! Totally bitchin considering I graduated high school with 0.0 GPA.

took Peaches out wheelin' with a bunch of top notch caliber Cruisers, and she held her own. Got props on my truck and realized I am not meant for the fancy life of 80-200's. She has some pretty well worn bushings in the shocks, which added a WOW factor on the rough terrain.

My "flute" had one of these thing-a-majigs out of place, which made a clacking noise for a couple weeks. Good old James Brown Weld took care of that problem rather quickly. Chee is coming along quite nicely

How does it drive? I hate mine, they won't balance worth a damn.

 

[CUMAPART]

Drives great. No issues at any speed.

Yes, I have been all over that area for about 35 years and never saw that many people. However when I left on Wednesday it seemed the whole place was mine.....just like it usually is.

Had to post this. my brother (@kmj64 ) saw this sitting in hurricane evacuation traffic south of San Antonio.
