Figure I'll make this as "semi-live" a dive trip as possible.
Stayed in Hurghada, Egypt where our taxi driver said they gain their drivers license via Grand Theft Auto video game and after the drive he may not be joking.
Lane paint to drive between is a suggestion, not a requirement. Seemed...
Great information relayed by several of you from another person's thread a couple years back regarding activities on Kona Hawaii. I had a particular interest to check off my dive "bucket" list to dive with manta rays and it topped my expectations!

Clearing a bunch of trash that's taking up space on my computer, I came across this short clip from a 2015 Black Bear hunt. This was a few miles up a gated road. I believe a HT member turned me on to check this general area while we were group camped.
Not sure about other States though I'd...

Anyone ever build from nada to complete travel camper?
Thinking of building one. Wife wanted a "tear drop" style to tow behind her jeep and I think they are useless especially considering her jeep package includes the heavy tow kit. That permits light full sized campers (19-21').

Spurred to research further, based on the current setting in Jackson, WY.
Interesting to know. It doesn't sound apocalyptic though something worth evaluating while glassing when hunting.

About time for the Griz to stomp on their little puddy cat sister. We've helped build MSU's confidence up to represent our State better than they have in the past by taking a few for Montana's sake. Now... hopefully now - we put the puddy cats back in their cardboard box.
