My weather station recorded 28.79 in/hg or 975 millibars pressure. That is Cat2 hurricane range.

Where?

 

[Kevin LaCroix]

Castle Rock, Colorado. Some readings in Kansas were lower. The storm we just had.

Yeah, they were showing on the news in San Diego a reporter in CO talking about a Cyclone Bomb. Something about a very rapid drop in pressure around a center core. It was showing some crazy weather.

Y... about a Cyclone Bomb. Something about a very rapid drop in pressure around a center core....

Wasn't that the theme in the movie Day After Tomorrow?

If you look at this as a "normal" winter storm, then things a really screwed up. If you look at this as a Cat2 hurricane, we got off lucky.

My 1984 Mazda B2000 pickup, it was a great truck, had a right hand drive radio in it. It was left hand drive, just to clarify. My first new vehicle.

One thing that annoys me is, hard product, websites that do not feature their product on the front page.

People have to be "challenged" on the internet to do the right thing.

Sad.

Headed toward Chicago yesterday and saw @Dave 's new tires for the jeep.

Random thought for Friday... Over-landing is ridiculous. I'm embarrassed for all participants. I just watched a 10 minute shovel review where the shovel was never used as a shovel. I say "Campers" need to take back the internet! Thought over...

Less Gear, More Go

 

[Kevin LaCroix]

I don't overland, I travel for adventure and camp. I travel over land because I am neither bird, nor mole.

 

[bob91yj]

Before "Overlanding" became the catch phrase I referred to what we do as "adventure travel" as well.

I've always been partial to the European phrase "wild camping". Who wants to be confused with someone spending a long weekend in a state park?
