Today was an \u201calmost never happened\u201d type<\/strong> day<\/strong>.  First we had planned on moving a little further north but with the tire thing<\/strong> yesterday I was still doing some checking to figure<\/strong> out the problem<\/strong>.  Answer= the extension on the valve stem that I use to get them out of the wheel<\/strong> covers, every one<\/strong> has to that has shinny wheel<\/strong> covers,was the leak.  I had replaced the one<\/strong> on the right front<\/strong> last<\/strong> fall because the old one<\/strong> had a bent dill-valve.  Well the new one<\/strong> was supposed to be for heavy trucks but it sprung a leak because it would not tighten down anymore and had a \u201cwobble\u201d at the screw joint.  Anyway it leaks.  I gave up, took it off, put the tire monitor<\/strong> device on the original stem and put the \u201cshinny\u201d wheel<\/strong> cover back on.  That means to air it up again I will have to pull the wheel<\/strong> cover to eve get to the monitor<\/strong> device, or a cap, or even the valve stem.   I have had it aired up a full day<\/strong> now and no loss when the extension is out.  One less problem<\/strong> but another addition to the big \u201cfix-it\u201d list if I figure<\/strong> to check<\/strong> and air that tire with out nearly taking the tire off.<\/p>\n

Once I got that going, we decided to stay one<\/strong> more day<\/strong> rather than move up for one<\/strong> day<\/strong> and then move again on Thursday.   It is just pretty nice here along the river.  Unfortunately, we had to move anyway, over two spots.  It is almost the same as moving across the county.  We moved the two spots but had to break every thing<\/strong> down, get the sat dish<\/strong> out of the way, etc.  In the new spot, about 35 feet<\/strong> south, I got nearly everything set<\/strong> up ok\u2026 but the sat dish<\/strong>.  I have a new tri-pod that makes it pretty easy if I get the angles and direction<\/strong> all figures out first. Last time (two days ago) I had it set<\/strong> in 15 minutes.  Today in just moving I struggled with it , just could not get a strong signal and I was sure I was on the right direction<\/strong> and the angles should not have changed?  I even got some help from a neighbor , that was not totally helpful.  He kept saying it needed to be pointed more east like his.  I went and looked and checked his angles and even though to him it looked more east it was not and it was a single LNB dish<\/strong> not a triple.  From my recollection the triple takes a bit<\/strong> different aim than a the single and I struggled with that a couple of years ago when I put in the wrong type<\/strong> dish<\/strong> in the setup from the receiver\u2026 I fought that one<\/strong> for over an hour<\/strong> before I figured I had the wrong type<\/strong> dish<\/strong>.  Anyway, I got this one<\/strong> after I moved it back about 15 feet.  Seems as though that big tree<\/strong> that I was shooting over before with no problem<\/strong> was not directly in my path.  Once I moved back, set<\/strong> the direction<\/strong> pointer, leveled the tri-pod and put the dish<\/strong> on \u2013 boom it was on with only a small adjust.  ok\u2026<\/p>\n

I get back inside and said, I am done lets go\u2026 well we didn\u2019t go and finally when \u201cWE\u201d started looking at the maps to figure<\/strong> out where, I said why not go get a new map<\/strong> as ours is about 20 years old and I know the roads have changed.  I figured we would leave from the store with the map<\/strong> and be gone\u2026 by then it was 11:30AM\u2026 I figured wrong.  \u201cWE\u201d had figured to get it and come back to the motorhome and eat lunch and then read the map<\/strong> and pick a spot\u2026 the first spot earlier had been Platoro\u2026 I said it would be at least a 6 hour<\/strong> day<\/strong> if not 8 to get down there from where we are and back\u2026 so that was out\u2026 Our big decision was to just make a loop up toward Summitville and back but not go all the way to Summitville.  That to me looked like at least a 4 hour<\/strong> trip<\/strong>, if we had any small stops for things to see.  Here is the trip<\/strong> route:<\/p>\n

\"image3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Actually the road was good and it could be done in a car and maybe in 3 hours or so but we did have some stops. We checked out all the camp grounds on the Beaver Creek road.  They are  pretty nice but not many would accommodate a mid sized motorhome.  I claim ours is  midsized as we are only 35 ft. and most are 38 and up. We found that there was even a kids camp up there at the first turn but didn\u2019t go up to check<\/strong> it out. Next was the outlet from the Beaver Creek dam.<\/p>\n

\"image4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were numerous little falls and the water was making a good big or noise coming on down the canyon.  Above that we took a picture back toward the lake and noticed that there were few fisherman but over a dozen trucks with trailers parked there.  The 4wheel ATV is the big thing<\/strong> now as it will go more places than a jeep so all the \u201cbig-shots\u201d have $6 to $10000 ATV\u2019s.  It looks like a great idea but all that we saw coming down were wearing goggles, slickers (as it came a small rain further up, and the dust was horrible.  We just rolled up the windows.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The reason we stopped here was this set<\/strong> of stairs that appeared to go to NOWHERE!<\/p>\n

\"image5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"image6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a picture of the wife headed toward the stairs but figured that was not something I wanted to get beat up about here.<\/p>\n

When we got over there and read the really faded sign it turns out this is the trail to the \u201cbiggest fir tree in the Rio Grand Forrest<\/a>\u201d. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

T: Big Tree Trail <\/strong>D:From South Fork travel 1 mile west on Highway 160; then go 6 miles on the Beaver Creek Road to the Trailhead. The Trailhead is just past Cross Creek Campground. A short hike, 1\/2 mile, will take you to the largest tree<\/strong> ever found on the Rio Grande National Forest. Huge Douglas Fir is over 66 inches in diameter or 207 inches around the tree.  Taken from Silver Threaders Org \u2013 trails web page<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a campground<\/a> just below this and the Forest Service page describes the details.  The details on the tree<\/strong> are that it is 66\u201d across.  In this part of the world that is huge for a Douglas Fir.  The link I put in for the tree<\/strong> is about a ski trail, well we weren\u2019t skiing in and beside that it is rated difficult for skiing\u2026 you can tell by the stair that it was pretty much up and there were some \u201cless\u201d  up s pots on the trail and the trail said it was 1\/3 mile, but from the way we felt at the top it had to be a typo\u2026 and more like 3 miles up.  Sure glad we did this now, in a few years I am sure I will have difficulty just making the steps and never mind the 13 mile trail\u2026 But once you get there the tree<\/strong> is HUGE\u2026 totally unbelievable and amazing\u2026<\/p>\n

\"image7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_35361\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not so big?                                         <\/p>\n

\"image8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My honey is 5+ feet<\/strong> tall and standing at least 6 feet<\/strong> in front<\/strong> of that tree<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Oh and she was still winded at this point from the 13 mile trail that said it was only 1\/3 mile?<\/p>\n

On this trail as well as the remainder of the trip<\/strong> we got pictures of flowers \u2013 everywhere.<\/p>\n

<\/b><\/a>\"IMG_3551-150x120\"<\/a>We saw this Ptarmigan but was a bit<\/strong> late getting the camera to the proper spot.<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t make it to Blowout pass but will have to try that next trip<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n

\"image9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the way back down we came through this huge stand of Aspen.  These trees were over 50 feet<\/strong> tall and very straight. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_35741\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We saw the HOLY ROCK..<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3583\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This amazing sign, never saw one<\/strong> like that before and it was correct!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMG_3590\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And, I could not resist this advertisement\u2026 we saw a lot of similar properties out here?  most way over priced\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3595\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We got back to the motor<\/strong> home chilled and had supper.  what a trip<\/strong> that almost didn\u2019t happen.  – WD0AJG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
