Sold my emotional support tent to an outfitter 🙁🙁🙁 It was painful but the funds can go toward the Alcan upgrade where is everyone? we hiked some Crested Butte and Gothic Colorado trails today and the mountain flowers are just starting to bloom, July is the big blooming season they say Crested Butte is the Saint Moritiz of Colorado

Chilling at Lottis Creek Campground in the Gunnison National Forest listed my canvas wall tent on the FB marketplace in Gunnison, Crested Butte and Buena Vista its my emotional support tent 😢

Appreciate that tip on the coffee shop ! we are no longer in Leadville, but we did have a great Pizza at “High Mountain Pies” Would recommend that spot for Pizza

Cottonwood Lake USFS campground on Cottonwood Pass, near Buena Vista, Co 3.5 miles of miserable washboard dirt road , nice campground, no water available as the well has been broken over 5 years with no plan to repair 🤔 campground is all FCFS and fills up Friday mornings too much dust with folks driving 25 mph in a 5 mph campground One pic in Leadville, Co

Thank you for this detailed information we are roaming around Colorado and I was thinking about contacting Alcan to check on appointment availability for the upgrade. Maybe we will just pick up the springs and haul them home to complete the job after we gather all the other parts , shocks, EZ Flex, Shackle U Bolts and wet bolts Thanks a million

For the Alcan spring Oliver group would you do anything different if you had a second chance to make this upgrade ? or would you suggest any other improvements ?

I admit I was getting nutty about the ticks, in northern Mississippi I got one on the back of m6 thigh, it was a tiny one about twice the size of a flea. 5he bite spot healed up quickly but they say it can be 30 days before illness symptoms show Alpha Gal disease , Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever With Alpha Gal syndrome your immune system reacts and you develop allergies to red meat no beef, no pork i spoke with a local rancher and there is another tick disease that actually kill cattle

Fumble finger post….. sorry

In the Rolla area We went way out in the woods to visit the pioneer cemetery of my ancestors that settled in Phelps County, Mo and visited the house my Great Great Great Grandfather built in 1832. ( permission from the owner ) their house is supposed to be the oldest registered historic home in the State of Missouri I wore the tyvek suit and muck boots for tick bite prevention as this area is crawling with ticks

Question from the peanut gallery did anyone see the need to adjust your tow vehicle ball height higher after adding the Alcan springs and new shocks ? did the upgrade change your ball hitch weight ? lighter ? just trying to anticipate

Looks cool is it the original hull ? Or a new hull ?

The Entrepreneur made twin M 18 battery housings listed on eBay and ESTY would be the cats meow . They must be three D printed plastic if these makers could take that idea one step further and use a short pole to get the mini out of the brush or grass and maybe get a little better sky reception Hope I didn’t derail this thread two much 🙄🙄🙄

Edit AI search shows the APP sleep mode can be set via APP sleep mode is not a complete shutdown but is a low power mode designed to conserve battery use so its sleep mode you want to set on your APP ——————————————————— For sure Need to review the APP to confirm this because my mind and memory are not 100% anymore. Plus I only played with it for 3-4 evenings i can get mine out tomorrow and double check

We just got our mini and activated it from our home base, then switched the subscription to pause so I am not too swift on the operation but I thought I saw the option on the phone APP to turn off the mini via IPhone so I thought it could be turned off by APP without us streaking in our camp site also on ETSY and EBay are some pretty cool offerings that accommodate two batteries and have a small shroud cover that covers the batteries and holds the mini giving the batteries a small amount of weather protection look pretty neat to me
