Great! I think we are starting just under 4000 feet elevation east of Georgetown. Supposedly our local guide is prepared to make some elevation adjustments if the first spot does not pan out. [My hope is to be shown more than the one area I alread

Traipsing through a wet woods made me jealous of the folks who wore gaiters to bridge the boot-ankle-pantleg gap. Blousing my pantlegs to my boots proved not entirely bulletproof as apparently brush or something outdoors likes to eat blousing garter

Pre-Paid ATT and Verizon vice/versa depending on what you have I think would be good. Or, you could like my folks and pay the $10/mo for a verizon phone that shares my minutes... (With your friend/family of opposite carrier.) -Todd

Mark_M-- You're so right about listing the meds (there's another forum on that...you've probably seen it). After my Mom had her stroke, I created med cards for her and my Dad. They (and I) carry them in our wallets and leave them on their kitchen ta

sybert777, Welcome to the Forum!!! You may want to check out the cheapo soap holders at the Big Blue Retail store. They are a buck and you can have some real fun with them. I agree with everyone else about begging (asking) people you know. I am go

The tempered safety glass used in vehicle side windows is engineered to withstand large force spread over wide areas, but is easily defeated by even moderate force applied to a pinpoint area. I have seen side windows broken in by rocks, hammers and

A few years ago I retooled my bike for touring and my local bike shop built a wonderful set of wheels using Sun CR18 rims, 700 size (I believe they are also available in 26" size as well). Mine were spoked 36 in front, and 40 in the rear, basi
