And Travis is 4' over full. I think Austin about to have to take the full length.
4 feet over conservation full. It’s not full till it gets to 714, or when it gets to the spillway. Spillway at Buchanon is 1021. They have lowered the full pool level to 1018 while they repair floodgates.

So is Buchanan.
No it’s not. Buchanon does not have a built in flood pool. Only Travis does. Buchanon is opening gates at 1018, Travis can absorb nearly 75% of its full capacity after it hits 681.
so as he said, Travis is by design to flood.

We were talking up-thread about them. If Texas had more dispersed camping, I would already own one. Make sure and do your research, as from mine, the mattresses in each are very different and can make or break your experience.

Still super fucking jealous

The wife really wants one of those roof top tents so we can do the dispersed camping thing with more comfort. She doesn't want to do dispersed camping in our tent, but I guess the roof top tents look cool on Instagram or something.
If we lived closer to more dispersed options, I'd already have one regardless of how dumb my wife thinks they are. But we end up in my two man tent or in hammocks more often around here, cause we are way more often away from the car.

Just looked it up. Like $200/day. That's amazing. I'm all about backpacking, but the wife would probably love this. Thanks for the rec.
And honestly, we joined their email list, got a percentage off, and since we were off-season, we only paid $150 per day.
Since we just did dispersed, there was no campsite cost most nights, and we cooked at least one meal a day in the truck.
It's not backpacking, but it's really comfortable camping.

Not my wife in that one.
It was a rental through Wonderland Expeditions. 07 Tundra with a Four Wheel Pop up camper on the back. I want one really badly for my own Tacoma, but they are just so damned expensive compared to a similar teardrop style trailer. Has a queen size bed, a fridge, sink with 12 gallons of water, and a two burner gas stove. When popped up, can stand in, but only adds 12 inches to the top of the truck while traveling. We could be stopped and cooking dinner in 3 minutes from hopping out of the truck. Just really simplifies things.

Yeah, it was just beautiful, and we didn't hike nearly as much as we wanted, cause we wanted to see as much as possible (and weather was bleh, and we may not have planned the best clothes for some of it.) Other than the two days of hard rain, the weather was gorgeous. Never got above 65 during the day, and was mid 40's at night. We only had to use the heater in the camper the one night we camped at Mt Hood. We will head back, with better rain gear and explore more.
I will say, if you are looking to be mobile and still want to get into the back country easily, look up Wonderland Expeditions. We only camped 2 of our 8 nights in campgrounds, and one of those was by choice, because we wanted to be in the redwoods. We dispersed everywhere else. We loved the camper (wife especially, I'm already looking at ultralight tear-drops to purchase), but they do 4runners with RTT's and the will also rent you a classic FJ60 with RTT.
I'd move there tomorrow if the wife would let me. Bend may be the coolest town I've ever been to.

View from our first campsite on the Nehalem River
Some pics as we explore our way south down the coast. I think most of these were in Samuel Bardman State Park
The Lady Bird Johnson Grove and our campsite in RWNP.
Rogue River Gorge
Not much sun the day we were at Crater lake, but the occasional sun really made the blue water pop on occasion.
Umpqua Hot Springs carved into the side of the mountain.
View from the Timberline Lodge.
Views from our campsite near Mt. Hood.
Waterfalls in the CRG
This was the best view we got of MSH. Tons of rain and wind. It had snowed there earlier in the morning.
The edge of the blast zone, 14 miles away, and the new bridge.

I just got back to my office, what happened to get them stuck?
-
Finally have a campsite with cell service, and without the options to post pics via Tapa.
In the shadow of Mt Hood in front of a campfire 20 miles from pavement. Gonna get to 38 tonight, and the mountain is getting its first snow of the season. Will post pics when I get back to civilization Monday.-

I went Max, but I’m noticing quite a difference in pictures I’m taking. Mostly low light. I’m also not the photographer that Swayze is, but reviews from other folks are confirming my suspicions, the differences are significant.

wireless charger recs?
I have a very cheap one on my nightstand, but I got the Samsung one for my desk and I like it. It supports the 7.5 faster charging.

It’s fantastic, the watch too

Just don’t go first weekend in June. You will melt. Ask me how I know.
we drove from Austin to Van Horn and stayed the night there. Got up really early, and made it to the trail around 7 am. The drive in from van horn isn’t bad at all.

I’m thinking I’m going to get an XR next month.
I’ve always put my phones in a case. My current phone is an SE. I’m concerned the bigger models will make the phone to obnoxious. Anyone here run without a case and not eventually drop it and crack the screen?Been naked since the 4. Only 2 screen breaks in that time, and both, I had slipped the phone momentarily into a shirt pocket, only to lean over. Last time that happened was the 6.

I use it next to my my bed at night, and on my desk at work. The car ones were garbage.

Anyone in Austin tried to hold theirs at the UPS CC and it show as unavailable? Never seen this before.

Same here. Didn’t realize that they were coming out so soon wasn’t preorder last year like a month out from launch?
The X preorders started a month later, both the the 8 and X from preorders to delivery was a week.

So the Apple Upgrade program includes AppleCare + Theft and Loss insurance? The bill for the phone was about $169 more than I thought and I'm assuming it's the applecare.
you had to select that option. It 100% includes applecare+, but the theft and loss was an extra choice.
