I finally had a chance to do this the other night. On my first one, I failed it by one question. I immediately took another exam and passed that one by one question, so I guess you could say I was averaging about 75%. Last night, I went back and re-read two sections of the book that I knew I...

Okay, that makes sense.

Some family members have one of those big ass RVs the size of a city bus. They also have a KJ Liberty which they flat tow behind it. The tow bar brace sits on the KJ such that the tow bars are perfectly parallel to the ground when it is hooked up and being towed. Recently they traded in that...

See that big rock that people are standing on? That is what the white Jeep in the video I posted is going around. This is the devil's postpile. First you must go left around the moderately-sized rock that you see in the sun, then you cut to the right and squeeze around/up the bigger rocks in...

Well, duh, I thought that was a given. ;)

While searching for other videos, I happened upon this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5DBpzoKIMo Looks like a simple, elegant setup. Nice.

For this specific shower, meteors typically radiate from the constellation Perseus (hence its name) and thus people will tell you to look to the northeast. However, when viewed at the peak period you are likely to see meteors almost anywhere in the sky. I'm tellin' ya, this is a good show. If...

I'll say. ;) Now that I see how long you've had to deal with it, I feel like a complete moron for pointing it out to you on the trail. Sorry about that.

That's what Brett kept calling it, too. The guy in this video makes it look outrageously easy. It was not. Most of our group stalled and/or had difficulty finding a good line on this obstacle.

My favorite thing to do in St George is have breakfast/brunch at The Egg & I.

For any given year, the Perseid meteor shower is generally visible from July 20th to August 20th. However, the number of meteors visible on any given night in that date range forms a bell curve (more or less). This year's peak is August 11/12, so that's why I'm going out on that night (again...

I've always had a low-key interest in most things celestial. One of my favorite activities is to go out of town (relatively speaking) to catch a good meteor shower. Year in and year out, the Perseid shower is one of the best. As an added bonus, it takes place in August so you don't need to...

I have read all the way through the manual once, and have re-read a few sections a second time. I have not yet tried any practice tests yet, though. Sounds like that is my next move.

It's me, or more accurately my web server. It's still down (for how long, I don't know) so nothing is visible. Sorry.

I finally sat down and added up my gas receipts for the Suburban. I had filled it up the night before leaving home to establish the start of the trip, and I filled it up again when I returned home. The totals: 1,235 miles and 128.98 gallons for 9.6 mpg overall. Considering I was doing 70+ MPH...

This. I have a friend who used to drink gallons of sweet tea daily. When he decided to stop, he quickly realized just drinking water wasn't going to work--he needed something with flavor for his body to be satisfied. He chose fruit punch, and had near-instant success. As for your exact...

Don't let your wife hear you say that! Oh, umm, nevermind.

Climbing all the way up the Big Sluice ought to be fun.

How about this little video from the first seriously challenging obstacle (which was well before the Loon Lake entrance): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtcSOexAne8

Marc has a number of good pictures in the web link he posted above.
