Reminded me of this...good driving song.

"Snowin on Raton" by Townes van Zandt

When the wind don't blow in Amarillo
And the moon along the Gunnison don't rise
Shall I cast my dreams upon your...

My default position is opposition when it comes to designating more land as wilderness or quasi-wilderness. I have not looked into the specifics of Browns Canyon though. Hope it is a good thing. ...

My FJ60 has a Warn 8274 mounted to the front ARB bumper. The winch is bolted to the bumper with four socket head cap screws.

I seem to recall a theft deterrent method which involved driving a...

The Colorado Gem Trails book says black tourmaline crystals can be found in an old quarry located in the Royal Gorge Park. It was a warm for a Feb 8th, the FJ60 looked lonely, so we packed a lunch...

Hello Jason

Sold my M1009 CUCV along with an M101A2 3/4T trailer in September. It was a lot of fun once I got a lot of electrical and brake problems sorted out. Had to cull the herd - now we are...

If you can scrounge up a second anvil, and they are both forged rather than cast, you can do something very entertaining for folks into pyrotechnics:

According to the FS website, they do run guided vehicle tours periodically. I have not checked the details yet.

I had not thought about it that way but you are correct.

Yikes.

What a thought....a public/private partnership between the EPA and insurance industry.

Yup - the nanny state is gonna keep us all safe.

Makes me think of the song "mother" by Pink Floyd:

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they'll like this song? ...

Me neither

I love the mountains but I got to admit like the prairie as well. This area has some mesas and canyons, not just grass and hills. But I get the impression vehicles are not permitted...

Existing stoves are grandfathered in. New ones will affected if this rule is implemented.

I looks like its worth a visit. It is hot out there in the summer. I'm thinking spring might be a good time since the high stuff is still snowed shut.

Comanche Grassland is near LaJunta and closer to home for me. I know there are some canyons there. The Picketwire Canyon has the biggest collection of dinosaur tracks in the US.

I should have been more specific - Comanche Grassland is near LaJunta.

I hope you're right.

I'm about a year away from installing a wood burner in my house. Wanted to get some remodeling done first. This has got me worried that if I wait the new improved zero...

A person should not implicitly trust anything he reads. That goes for progressive publications as well.

As one of my college profs was fond of saying:

Mind if I ask why?

After reading the New American magazine for 20 years I find it to be extremely credible. You may not agree with its editorial slant, but you will have a tough time finding...

Most everyone heads for the hills when they want to do some 4-wheeling.

Does anyone have experience in the Comanche Natl Grasslands as far as 4WD tracks, scenery, camping...etc?

I'd heard nothing about this in the news but ran across an article about it online.

Seems the EPA has issued notice that it plans to reduce emissions from wood and pellet stoves.

Here is a link...

A 2 1/2 pound hammer would mean a LOT of beating.

Then if you're in an unheated shop or outdoors, and the tire is cold it is stiff as a board.

It can give a whole new meaning to the phrase "beating your brains out".

Tires are fairly easy to mount/dismount with a few cheap tools:

--Bead breaking hammer aka "Duckbill" hammer or "wedge" hammer with a short handle

--(2) tire spoons

--8 to 10 lb sledge...

I have a split personality regarding stuff left behind by people.

The trash around old mines, home sites and ghost towns is part of history and I think ought to be left in place.

Everyone needs to be aware that taking what .gov considers to be an "archeological resource" from public land can get you busted. Archeological resource meaning anything having to do with humans...
