Finally a few days ago I saw two nights in a row had opened up so I snagged them, and canceled my original night (different sites). Now I'm still trying to find a spot for the third night. I probably will eventually but it is a TOTAL PITA. And don't get me started on the whole vehicle reservation system.Quote:

Yeahman, double-check if you need a car entrance reservation if you have a camping reservation. I've heard that if people have reservations for horses, hotels, or boat tours, then a car reservation is not needed. It makes sense, but I'm not 100% sure.

No you don't need a car res if you have a campsite, sort of. But if you're camping at St. Mary your car res is for Going to the Sun road only; can't go do a hike at Many Glacier or Two Medicine. And if you give up on the park campgrounds and pay extra to stay at a private campground, where it's easier to get a spot...no vehicle res at all. So basically you either take the chance you'll get one of the reservations they open in the morning (again playing the stupid internet game) or you get up early enough to go through the gate before 6 a.m. This last option works okay for me since I'm climbing peaks and want an early start anyway, but nonetheless...the whole situation is annoying.Quote:

Yeah, ticks suck. Not too many of them in the high desert country around Helena, which I'm grateful for, but I remember all the years I spent climbing in the Bitterroot when I lived in Missoula. Those canyons are infested with them in the spring. Like literally flicking 200 a day off yourself when bushwacking to crags.
Thing#1 does CRM and encounters a lot of the fuckers while digging pits.
Those to me look like the type of moth that infests a place and you may need to hire an exterminator if they've got a toehold at your place. This happened to us when we lived in a condo complex and the neighbor brought them back from somewhere. I kept finding them in the house. Finally went down in the crawl space and there was an entire wall covered with them. Had to bring in the pros to deal with that. Just something to keep an eye on if you keep finding them in your house. It's not your garden variety moth that flies in through your screen door when you step outside at night. (Those are generally bigger than the kind that infest a place.)Quote:

I used this plastic "tick spoon" for one I removed from his head last summer. Worked pretty well. Of course it hadn't dug in too far yet. Nobody likes hearing "Dad, can you check my head I think I feel a tick?" They keep giving him some Doxy after each bite. Hopefully he remembered to put a spoon back in his field pack this year. He started this season on Monday. But he's living up near Ottawa now.
I can't pass up a chance for a favorite quote (and occasional sentiment)!Quote:

RE windshield cracks. Inspired by boot crack and top box crack threads I dremeld a hole 3/4 through the windshield with a diamond bit. It worked. I keep the Dremel in the trunk.

Old man complaints alert!
So, my blood pressure is too high, the Flowmax I am trying isn’t working, my kid is failing out of Biology, my wife is coming home early from San Diego and the house is a disaster, the dog needs a run, the trails are too snowy, I’m still 8 pounds overweight even though I go to the gym three times a week and ride my ass off, I need a few surgeries, I didn’t sleep all night, and I’m getting my ass handed to me with ego-crushing music lessons.
But hey, the local restaurants are still having 2-4-1 Entree sales for off season through tonight, so party on, boys!
Thanks for listening, you may now return to griping about your local traffic and weather.
Maybe some 2-4-1 shits and you'll be back at fighting weight.
Thanks for the info. Hope you're wrong about infestation but it's hard to explain why so many otherwise. Found 1-2 per day after the initial batch. Been away a couple days now, we'll see what I find tomorrow when I get home.Quote:
