Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll pass on a white knuckler! I don't do well with heights, steep drop-offs, cliffs, etc. The funny thing is, I used to rock climb a little bit many years ago back when I was still relatively immortal. Nowadays, the Road to the Sun and similar exposures...

Thanks for the fishing and the brewery advice! Both are very much appreciated:).

Thanks, I'll look into that!

I will be spending a few days camping and cycling with friends at the State Park mid-September. All of my previous visits have been in winter to play in the snow so this is my first visit when casting a fly is feasible. I was planning on taking my float tube and hoping the lake is cool enough to...

One of my friends, Julie Wing, teaches some classes through a local driftwood artist group. You might find some ideas and inspiration on their website at https://www.northwestdriftwoodartists.org/videos/

There are shock absorbing seat posts and head sets that might help. I haven't used the seat posts, but have a friend who has.

As I got older, I changed out the stem on my road bike to be more and more upright about every 5 years. Getting older and less supple sucks, but it sure beats the alternative. I decided to try a different strategy for my Diverge gravel/pack bike and put one of these Redshift bars a couple of...

I got lucky that it wasn't super hot that morning, and I just rode from Sisters to the top and back to Sisters. Didn't go down the other side. It was open only to bicycle traffic that weekend. Fun ride. Sunrise is still my favorite hill climb though.

My road bike is a titanium Serotta Fierte, gravel bike is a Specialized Diverge and my fat bike is a Salsa. My wife has twice that number of bicycles! No room in the garage for a boat

I think the stoat is the same critter as the short tailed weasel. I thought the one I saw at Chopaka was a long tailed weasel, but I could be wrong. He was a bit bigger than the weasels that I've seen around western Washington.

We were having lunch in camp on Sunday and a long tailed weasel walked through our tent site carrying a dead ground squirrel home for his lunch. The squirrel looked about 4 times the weasel's weight. Saw a bear ambling along the eastern shore one evening.

It is still available. Happy to have put to good use. I'll be out of town for two weeks though. PM me around June 17th and we can figure out how to pass it on to you. Steve

I used this float tube for many happy years, but finally upgraded last month to an Outcast Cruzer Max. The Nevada is a U-shaped vessel with a single main bladder and a secondary air bag in the backrest. It is in good condition with no leaks or punctures and the skin has no tears. Free to anyone...

Thanks everyone! Super helpful!!

What psi are you inflating your Cruzer Max to? My little instruction manual just says inflate until you can deflect about 3/4-inch when pressing on the tube.

I just picked up a new Outcast Cruzer Max and have small electric pump that pumps it up reasonably quickly. I want to get a mechanical backup pump and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations. (Will probably get an inflatable seat as @iveofione recommended. That standard foam seat is...

Thanks for posting this SurfNFish. It prompted me to go and get my DTAP booster yesterday. It's been about 15 years since my last one. Up to date on all of my other vaccines though, including shingles.

Thanks! She has perked up quite a bit. Eating now and wagging her tail again. Possible pancreatitis with right side cardiomegaly. Cardiology consult on Friday.

Thanks for the replies. Had to cancel the trip because my older dog is not doing well. Fingers crossed hoping it is something temporary.
