Black Bart, 07 Tundra

Took a short shake down trip over Independence Pass to Twin Lakes. More snow than I expected on top, but down at tree line it was much better, a balmy 65 degrees and rain on and off. Nice to not have a fire-ban in place like the last several years, my 7 year old finally got to make some s'mores. Tent worked great, lots of space, need to pack a step stool, although the cooler worked pretty good.

how are the Tenacious patches holding up? I'm thinking of using these in some panels I'm putting grommets in. My thought was; hole, patch, grommet.

Holding up well so far, its only been a little while but its not peeling up at all and its on an exposed portion even when rolled up so its seen a ton of rain over the past month and a half.

Got back from Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier for a couple weeks. Was cool and rainy in Yellowstone, and hot and dry in Glacier. Lost a piece of trim off the hood going through the aptly named Wind River Range on the way there. Truck did great mostly highway miles, but still a great trip.

Our spot in Grant's Village, was about 50 yards from Yellowstone Lake. Was amazed every morning we would head down there with our coffee and have the lake to ourselves.

Going to the Sun road on our way to the Many Glaciers section of the park. Very cool road, heard rumors they are looking at shutting it down to the public and only running shuttles within 2 years or so, not sure if that's really going to happen but I would hit it sooner than later, simply awesome drive. Went two different days, got lucky bluebird day one day, and hazy from the fires another. Was just good timing on the Mountain goats, first ones I'd ever seen. Driving through the burn areas was kind of surreal. I borrowed my buddy's inflatable kayak and have to say might need to get one of my own it was great to get out on the water at Lake McDonald and Yellowstone.

Finally cleaned up the front bumper and got a front plate...Colorado still requires one.

Heading up to Oregon, and then to Olympic peninsula in two weeks :)

Olympic peninsula. You'll be in my neck if the woods! Gorgeous area that I haven't explored near enough.
