    NFR It's been awhile since I've had a State Champion.

    I’ll second those congratulations to both you and Wyatt! I never had a chance to wrestle at that age since my small high school didn’t have a wrestling team. However, living in Pennsylvania and being a Penn State alum, I’ve come to ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ wrestling, and appreciate the total commitment it...

    GETTING OLD A little old blonde(dyed)haired lady calls her neighbor and says, "Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get started." Her neighbor asks, "What is it supposed to be when it's finished?" The little silver haired lady says...

    Messing around with new camera, checking out that Chinese Spy Balloon, couldn't believe what I saw!

    I got this picture of an unidentified object on my trail cam as it was flying over Montana several years back. Now I’m wondering if it could have been a Chinese drone spying on some of my top secret fishing spots.

    I invited a bunch of my friends over to watch the Super Bowl.

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    Thanks for your reply and all the information. I had been considering the Thule Outland Awning, and not the Overcast model, and while I believe the Outland awning has a tensioning feature, it still doesn’t have something like Velcro straps to secure the awning from flapping, and I can see...

    You’ve got a good memory. https://www.steamphotos.com/Railroad-Photos/Abandoned-Railroad-Tunnels/Coburn-Tunnel-Poe-Paddy-Tunnel/ (The tunnel has had major restorations since the article was written.) There’s an old cabin that sits just a few feet from the old railroad grade not more than 100...

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    In 1920, many people from Union and Snyder county took the train, or drove their cars over miles of rough dirt mountain roads when they headed west to camp, hunt and fish. Sadly, that rail line was abandoned in 1970, and if you want to get to some of best trout fishing there today, you have to...

    Excellent point. I believe that an awning attached to the bars on my roof rack will be about 6’ high, + or - at The car. The poles on the Thule Outland awning (that I’m looking at) extend to 6’2”. In any event, there’s an advantage to being short, as I’m only 5’8” tall. I wish I could have...

    Thanks, I just took a look at their awnings. You’ve got quite the setup.

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    Thanks. That’s where I was when I started looking at awnings, and now after looking at all of the many suggestions that I’ve received here, that’s the one that I seem to come back to. I really like the idea of a crank out awning like the Fianna, but haven’t found one yet that is small enough...

    Guess that proves “where there’s a will, there‘s a way”...unless you don’t want the debris off that tree branch falling into your scrambled eggs. 😊 I do like the idea of using the canoe, table, and tree beach together to keep the tarp high above your head and the tailgate though.

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    No, I don’t think that’s overkill at all if I wanted to keep my tailgate open while I slept in my car. That might actually be a Subaru pictured (I haven’t looked at the video yet). Actually, I’d seen another video of a very similar setup, but I want to keep my tailgate closed while sleeping...

    This looks like it might work. Anyone know where I can get it? 😃

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    I think it is something like 0.9” higher off the road than the standard Outback models, and Subaru offers a couple different options for under body armor but I didn’t get any on mine, at this point, since the extent of my off roading is limited to 30-50 miles or so of pretty tame gravel roads in...

    For what it’s worth, here’s a picture of my Wilderness Outback sitting in my garage this morning, as I ordered it from the dealer. It does have Subaru’s mudflats on all 4 wheels, which are kind of nice, but in hindsight I wish I’d have gotten Weathertech‘s mudflaps which are sturdier and I...

    And since I’ll often be by myself, anther set of hands would also be helpful to do it faster if it’s raining.

    Any Recommendations for a Roof Mounted Awning?

    That’s a really nice looking setup up you have there. I had a Rubicon Unlimited hardtop a few years ago, but never added a lot of aftermarket accessories to it. Where live and fish (for the most part) in PA we don’t have many skeeters, etc. that are a major problem where you’d need a screen...
