I've been cutting on a low carb diet, which is going quote well so far (down close to 20 lbs). So, the grill has been in full force. Last weekend I threw down a turkey breast and 10 chicken breasts. I find with the duo that I need to refuel it every 2 hours or so. So, I upgraded the grill this weekend.

I pulled the ash tray out and removed the grate for the charcoal. I welded in a couple cross beams and larger basket to handle a decent load of coal. I also welded up the extra holes in the fire box and used high temp sealant to make the door and tray seal properly.


If this works out, but I need some better control on temps, I'll rig up a fan controller to use on those overnight shoulder smokes.

Good times!







I may build a baffle and insulate the whole rig at some point, but I'm going to let it roll for now and see how much of an improvement this makes first.


That's what I did this weekend.

Nice view Yeti. Is that graffiti or is those makings for some other reason?

that trail is probably the most traveled trail in the area, easy enough of a trail to attract all types of people.

Hi guys. I just found this thread. Are new posters welcome to post hiking trip pics?

[cavymeister]

Don't see any reason why not. It'll liven the place up a bit.

Cool. Are you guys avid hikers or climbers?


I've been doing a lot of traveling this year. Here are some pics from the last two weekends.

Pyramid Peak in Desolation Wilderness (Tahoe-CA)

(seen from a different peak in mid-July)

Brokeoff Mountain in Lassen NP

Anyone here from NorCal?

[barbrox]

Speaking of graffiti, some chick vandalized at least 8 national parks with her "art" and was stupid enough to post pics on IG.




The NPS is already investigating her.

[Yeti06]

Nice pics, I've been to shasta-trinity area before. But not from that area

[HairyScandinavian]

Nice pics. I'd be a hiker/climber if I had a place to go nearby.

Thanks guys! HS - Nothing nearby, really? I've never been to San Antonio. Is it flat? I'm pretty fortunate in that respect. Lots of places to go within a 2-3 hour drive.

[HairyScandinavian]

Texas is mostly all private land but even so yeah pretty flat around here. Out West there's some places to go just not nearby here. I almost almost made a trip out to California with a friend for a Mt Whitney climb but it never came together.

Halloween party tonight, drunk L&D nurses are always a good time. I guess fisting vaginas for a living drives them to go crazy on the weekends. To top the night off the wife ran over a rattlesnake on the way home. Not a horrible Saturday for not going hunting or fishing lol.

Lolol! Sister does ultrasounds, and I know a few nurses. The stories they tell are friggin hilarious.

I was watching a show about some people ending their trip with a climb up Mt Whitney when I saw your post. It looks amazing. I didn't realize you could day hike Mt Whitney, and it's not even a technical climb. It's not that far from where I am too. I'd like to do that next year.

This is why we can't have nice things.

Avid hiker checking in.

Wish there was a hiking thread here, I think the last one was removed.

The summit photos you posted look amazing, much different than the landscape up in NY

Why was it removed? It seems odd. How bad could the posts have gotten?

I'd suggest starting a new hiking thread, but it's getting colder, and I don't see myself going out as often as summer. I do want try winter hiking this year though.


Edit: Nvm, I think I found the old thread. Looks like it just died to no activity.

I'm a sweaty beast, so I much prefer the cold/cool for my hikes. Anything above 70 and I'm soaked.

Good find! I searched a couple times for it with no luck.

Definitely post some photos from your trips in there if you get the chance.
It'll be interesting to see the landscapes from the other side of the country.

Wish more people on this forum were active in the realm of the OR section

I saw the note you added above. Thanks! Your ADK pics are pretty cool too. You're in NY, right?

You've got me thinking about starting a new thread. A trip log of sorts to post lots of earth p0rn, talk about gear, and get tips from more ecperienced people. I'm putting together my winter gear now, so I'll be ready when there's actually enough snow in the mountains.

I have a bunch of trips on my wishlist already. I hike mostly in Northern California, but I love Washington and Yosemite too.

[Hartski]

Hiking is what you do when the vehicle breaks. No offense to those that enjoy it.

Haha! Your truck or car can only take you so far though. There are some gorgeous places that you can only get to by foot.

[insomniac23]

looks like an awesome place to hike. makes me want to get out

this sub section i think has died :/

Thanks and you should!

Yeah, it's pretty dead. There's only 2-3 active threads, angling, hunting, and The Walking Dead. Lol Its good and bad. Bad for obvious reasons, but good because you almost have a private space in here that you could point people to if you wanted. I ended up starting my own thread for that reason.

Yep NY hiker here,
I know a few people who would regularly contribute ideas and gear reviews to the thread if you start one up, including myself.

I ended up starting my own thread for that reason.

EDIT- I see you did start a thread, very cool

Opening day of the hunting season is tomorrow up here, it literally feels like Christmas.

I swear I look forward to the season more than the holidays

You guys start really late. Archery opened in most counties down here Oct 4th and Sept 29th in some places, gun seasons started Nov 1.
