    I've only been once. Never knew you could sunburn the bottom of your nose. That's probably something those who ski or drive sailboats can tell ya. Sunscreen just about everything. A good pit bike is also a must.

  2. bullshit, we have had smoke like that all year. No reason they can not run. This is the first I have heard this and I have friends working tech.

    I don't have a gas gauge so,an extra 7 gallons of gas and some math should save me.

    We are in SLC waiting to hit the road this morning still. It looks a bit hazy outside, but I can see a mile or two from our hotel room.

    That's not all you can burn out there that might not otherwise get burned. The guys were telling about a dude who went Commando with real baggy shorts (knee length) a few years ago who was in severe pain with a sunburn where you would never expect to get one with clothes on.

    T Man is right, mudslides have shut down I-70 in central Colorado. Wyoming is a good alternate, faster & less scenic. Looks like this year is going to be great. Wish I was there.

    This salt is awesome just walking around on it. Smooth and firm. Visibility is currently good to 2-2.5 miles on the ground. After that the haze takes over. Seriously get here everyone.

  23. Mine was doing the same thing, so I shut it down and restarted it. So far it is doing better. As soon as I said that I jinxed it! It's doing it again!

    Good chance they are going to get more traffic to the website than they anticipated and it’ll glitch/ stop /Hopefully not go down occasionally

  27. Slim is having HUGE issues with the feed. He took his hardware back to the hotel to try and get it fixed for tomorrow. The software kept trying to update on him. Give him credit, he is not real computer savvy, so anything we get is a bonus
     
  28. I would say HUGE is putting it mildly!
