I’m guessing it was the Jones fire. Depends on when you were there in 2020.

Maybe Loyaltpn fire.

Fuckin meat bees. I heard a strip of meat over a bucket will kill them. They eat till they are too heavy to fly and then fall and drown.

Pics from the con in late 2020 forget what they called this fire but we had a bunch of out of state people with us and all of their tow rigs and stuff were at camp by airport flat campground. Unknowingly we got on the trail right as they were shutting down the forest. Going back meant heading towards the fire so we just decided as a group to push through.

Hows it towing?

 

[cagcig]

What time are you guys meeting at fresh pond on Fri? How many days on Barrett?

 

[Pyleit]

Hows it towing?

Lets just say it's not my favorite tow vehicle! Single digit mpg and every time a big rig passes me I get some exciting tail wag... almost became a you tube fail video earlier this morning. Have slowed it down to 60 mph max, which makes the wag recovery quicker! 😆 left the house at 0300 and just got to salt lake city. Have a work thing here for 4 hours and then ill continue on.

Meat bees can fuck right the fuck off.
Barrett is usually chill with them, I've left Buck cuz they woke me up at day break with buzzing, last weekend at Fordyce lake I didn't see any.
I was really hoping the winter would kill them off.

 

[Pyleit]

Well just got home from work... time to pack and plan for the trip

 

[Pyleit]

Just had 5th fuel stop..... 5.49 a gallon....keep motoring on

 

[2big bronco]

Ok just did the worst pack job ever. Think I tossed in my whole familys worth of camping shit plus some. Probably loaded everything I dont need and forgot the important stuff.

I will say food is way easier going single. No meal plans and a bunch of random stuff that looks good.

No meat bees either.

Pegs is the best breakfast in town. There is one in the Aouth end of town you could go to probably better than downtown.

 

[MigGunslinger]

[Pyleit]
