Thursday July 28. Camp was moved roughly 5 miles, with a drop of about 400 feet in elevation, that unfortunately need to be reclaimed. We camped at an unnamed lake (as far as I know) north of Lower Red Castle. Camp was again at about 11,100 feet. note the crack in the snowfield to right...

Wed. July 27. 5:30 am wake up shot got us off to an early start. Those who wanted to try to the summit of Kings Peak got on the trail (light packs only as we were returning to the same camp) by 6 am. About 1/3 the group stayed behind. We headed up and over Smiths Fork Pass (hair under...

Tuesday, July 26. Moved camp about 1 mile up the canyon, setting up camp two at about 11,100 feet. Camp was located near a small pond between East Red Castle and Smiths Fork Pass Lakes. Rest of the day was spend fishing and recovering. Camp Two East Red Castle Lake produced some...

We took our scouts (I am Venturing Advisor) on 6 days of Uinta Mountain backpacking the week of July 25th. We had 9 youth (ages 11-18) and 8 adults. We started out at the China Meadows trail head and proceeded up Smiths Fork towards the Red Castle Peak area. Monday, July 25, 2011...

mid-90s diesels in general I have been searching the ads on KSL for a truck or SUV that will become either my daily driver or get used by my daughter when she gets her license in another couple months. Since my main requirement is price and 4 wheel drive, have looked at ads for a wide range...

May not be relevant any more, but for hauling a 4 horse trailer, I would for sure go diesel. When you start doing the math it is amazing how heavy they are!

I am still pretty happy with the Coopers. I suspect I have about 1 more year's use on them.

I have an 05. We are about to hit 114000 miles. Engine has been trouble free thus far and no tranny issues either. Only problem we have had is death wobble (I have a thread on that from August of last year) that ran me $2,000+ in front end work to solve. Sadly a common problem in many of...

03 Montero Sport gets 16-17 (mostly highway). I lost about 1 mpg with the safari-style roof rack, plus a little when I first added the lift and larger tires. Our tow rig, an 05 Ram 2500 Cummins gets about 20 mpg normal driving, 18 or so when towing the boat (6,000 lbs). I haven't had long...

looking through vehicles on Craigslist and found this: http://saltlakecity.craigslist.org/ctd/2506914293.html Odd enough I figure some of you would find it interesting. (actually, looks like it could be great for hauling scouts to camp!)

struck out on doe antelope as well.

I'd get pretty frustrated doing entire commute at 65....

how are its road manners?

How are its road manners, esp with the lockers front and rear on ice and snow? About what mpg are you getting? Am after an 85 mile/day DD so....

go to love the trips where everything seems to go wrong! Great attitude, however and glad you had fun.

I am starting to worry about my planned Kings Peak/Uinta Mtn 50 mile hike....I don't want to snowshoe that far!

a great reminder of an unfinished item on my to do list.

We have an '05 Dodge w/ Cummins- used both for towing (22' boat- about 5-6K pounds loaded or horse trailer- pushing 10K when loaded) and as my wife's daily driver. Very happy with it as far as towing goes- does a great job. Of course rides like a truck, so not the most comfortable for the...

Certainly need to be looking at areas with shared boundaries! PM sent. Also may end up focussing on helping my son, and see if I can draw anterless or doe antelope to get my hunting in.

Seemed to be a tough year. We got ourselves in a pickle in that I put in limited entry, then general and my son just general. Having not had issues in the past getting general tags we did not bother to put in as a group. He drew NE (our usual area), I got northern- my last choice of all...
