The Pilling figurines are amazing. And the story of the 11th is kind of wild too.

The family who bought the Range Creek property from my great grandfather found 2 other figurines together in the canyon. At some point the figurines were separated with 2 sisters taking one each. They were put away in boxes with plenty of protection. Shortly after they were separated one of them broke in half through the heart. After that the family put them back together.

Kings Landing has recovered quite well after the Dragon attack and firestorm that burned the town down. (Dubrovnik, Croatia 🇭🇷)

The story of the Pilling Figurines is definitely very interesting and a trip to Range Creek is very high on my list. We have a number of Range Creek artifacts on loan from the Wilcox family on display at the JWP River History Museum.

Side note: If any of you know Jeff Edwards who runs Grand Tire Pros in Moab, his dad was born in Nine Mile.

The drones are doing heavy surveillance on my house right now.

The Wilcox family is who bought the Range Creek property from my great grandfather. You may have come across the name Preston Nutter in historical records. If you do a Range Creek tour, do it with Jeanie Jensen. She is a Wilcox and spent a lot of time in the canyon as a kid and when you do a tour with them you hear a lot about growing up in the canyon. I have helped them with a bunch of tours over the last 10 years. Let me know if you need any help connecting with her for a tour.

Thanks for the info @anderson750. It is Jeanie and her husband who loaned the museum the artifacts. I do know the name of Preston Nutter. It’s cool to know your connection with Range Creek.

How’d you manage that on the way to or from church? 🤣🤣🤣

We’ve got some newer stop signs in our neighborhood, and a particular neighbor, ‘stop sign Karen’ as he’s been named, calls the police so often that they do regular shifts at the spot. I guess my stop was not compete enough to avoid being stopped. I told the officer I have lived here for 20 years and that I am grandfathered into not having to stop. No ticket.

 

[rholbrook]

That’s funny.

While our oldest boy is st Mnt bike practice we go for a walk/hike. I love where I live and know I take it for granted. That is zion in the back ground.

Training in Oregon. Off-road Tire Repair, Recovery and Vehicle Build Considerations. Great attendance and very interested students.

Time for some burnouts on the old tires.

Those are some fatty's. Is that for the Z28?

Yep. The wheels on this car are off a C5 or C6 corvette. So the tires are larger than stock camaro tires. 275/35 R 18 in the front and 285/35 R 18s in the rear. It grips and handles the road nicely.

I probably shoulda traded that truck for that car. 😂

Do you still have it? Unfortunately, the clear coat is peeling and starting to look bad. Doesn't affect the performance. Too many hot days as a Las Vegas and St. George car.

Yep. Still have it. I haven’t done anything with it. Zero motivation.

Recovery training for a onX maps corporate get together. They have over 350 employees, very impressive culture. About 100 of them took a recovery class 😎. We cover stuck assessment (math needs unite✋️), recovery planning, gear type, selection and ratings (WLL vs MTS vs MBS, etc) and then some actual SLP/DLP 1:1 and 2:1 winching. It's neat to see these companies investing in their employees in ways that won't directly bring them business, i.e. a mapping app company teaching off-road recovery to software engineers, customer service staff, etc.

Best way to clean these up? I'm thinking copper wire wheel and then waxing them...?
