Lots of pics are missing from the photofuckit debacle so that sucks.

Is your head all back to normal now @skunked ?

Thanks & I'm pretty close to fully recovered, no more headaches and no dizziness so I'm feeling pretty damn good overall. When I'm physical for a whole day I have a weird upper back/neck pain that's annoying. I also lost my sense of smell in the process but that's not going to keep me from doing anything. I just had my first cup of coffee that wasn't decaf and I was doing hot laps around my garage like a maniac but no negative effects from it. Still no alcohol and I probably won't try any for awhile. I've heard too many horror stories about it from others ending up in the hospital again.

I partied with some non-alcohol beer on this last trip though :rotfl:

So how’s the unleaded?
 
When you leave Fordyce via Bowman Rd do you just go out to Hwy20 and then pick up I-80? I was up at Grouse Ridge last weekend and was wondering how close it was to the trail?

That’s the quickest way out of you take Bowman Lake Road.

That's one of the routes.

We typically take another route out of Bowman (Gaston Road) up over the mountain down through the little town of Washington and out 20 to highway 49. A couple of us are geared without overdrive so the scenic 55mph roads are preferred over highway 80, especially if we're driving out on Sunday with all the idiots coming down 80.

I can’t understand how 80 gets so jammed up all the time. If everyone would just keep their foot on the gas going up the hills and maintained 65-70mph it would be so much nicer.

How long does it take to get to trail from Bowman Rd? My family has property near Grouse Ridge and I’ve always wanted to try and do a little wheeling when we’re up there.

From the intersection of highway 20 and Bowman Rd it's about 15 minutes or so til you hit dirt. It's about 45-60 minutes to the lake. Of course this can vary a bit depending on traffic and driving style. I like to drop to 12-14 psi as soon as I hit dirt and I usually haul ass.

Haven't been doing much with it other than trips to Home Depot, dump and grocery store. A couple weeks ago I was coming home from the dump and some asshole in a ford truck did a lane change and I found out real quick that I need to adjust the proportioning valve. The rear tires left 60' of rubber and I'm pretty sure a half dozen soccer moms pissed their pants. So yeah, there's my update :D

I need a helmet, better life insurance policy and a divorce attorney first.

LOL I'll take it for an update, it's nice to reach a point of simple, enjoyable drive-ability. Just checking..... ;)

It's definitely nice that I can unplug the battery tender and drive it whenever I want.

I have some maintenance work and a few small projects planned for this winter but I'm not planning on starting any projects that will keep me from wheeling.
