Thanks!!

My door jamb decal shows the build date as May 2019. I don't have any oil on my driveway, so I don't think there is a leak. So when you say possible valve cover replacement, that sounds like there could be a leak in the valve cover gasket. If that is the case, I would think that I'd likely...

Thought I'd share my first check engine light event and how it was resolved. I have a 2019 801A SCREW with 36,750 miles. The only issue I've ever had was the cam phaser rattle that was resolved under warranty. I haven't had any other issues at all. Well last week my check engine light...

Wow! That looks wild! I'm not sure I would have enjoyed the temps you mentioned. I much preferred the warmer air temps with cold water on your legs. And trying to walk through the water, you're apt to fall a few times and get your hands and head wet. I'd call in quits after about 5 minutes...

My son flew in/out of Vegas and his ride back to Vegas after Zion got messed up. So we ended up driving him to the airport on Monday and staying the night. We ate lunch at a place my son picked called Parsley Modern Mediterranean. I highly recommend it. Not much seating area but they have...

I actually didn't get to make the trip up Lady Mountain. My daughter and husband and their friends had been at Zion since 7/2. The parents weren't invited until 7/9. They didn't want us to slow them down. :) But the way they described the hike, I'm sure Lady Mountain would have owned me...

Prices are indeed going up like crazy! Every facet has gone up in price like getting a well put in, installing a septic system, getting electricity to the property, and adding a propane tank system. And everyone is seeing the cost of lumber, steel, and concrete going up. Fortunately the price...

Today, our last day here, we rented some e-bikes and rode them all the way through the park to the Narrows. That was so much better than riding in the shuttle buses! The Narrows hike was a lot of fun! The only bad part was always concentrating on where you were stepping in the river since the...

Bonus!! On Saturday morning, we drove through the Mt. Carmel tunnel for some hikes on the east side of the park. We spotted some Bighorn Sheep!!

Here are a few other pics from Zion.

Here are some shots from some of the canyon hikes we did. Incredible National Park! My son and I posing for the wife!

My wife and I stayed in a hotel..... we're old and soft :cool:. My daughter, her husband, and my son (and a few others) actually camped in Zion. They were in tents and had no A/C. There's no way I could have done that. The temps at 10 pm were still in the upper 90's. Here is a shot though...

Here are some additional Zion scenery pics I managed to get over the few days we were there.

Here is Kolob Reservoir. Beautiful body of water. Down in Springdale and Hurricane, the temps were in the mid to upper 110's. The elevation of the reservoir allowed the temperature to be about 80. The water was still super cold. We tried to go around the reservoir, but only made it about...

Too funny! We have one more day here in Zion. Tonight we actually ate at Oscar's and I had the chicken flautas. Outstanding indeed!!

We did make the drive up Kolob Terrace Rd to the Kolob reservoir. That was a great scenic drive. I would have taken more pictures, but I was driving and just taking everything in! More pictures to follow. Having difficulties uploading right now..................

Having a great time here in Zion. We came for my daughter's "marriage" in Zion, so I didn't have much time for off-roading. Here is a great shot of the married couple! They were already formally married up in Maryland, this was just a ceremonial event at one of their favorite places to...

I agree completely! The dry heat here is so much better than the humid heat we get in Houston! We actually ate dinner at MeMe's cafe in Springdale under a shade tree at about 6 pm. I believe the temperature was right at about 105 and it was completely bearable. There was a little breeze and...

It's been slow going. Rain has been delaying things. We finally had our pre-construction meeting with Tilson, so now the construction should start in a few weeks. The property is too wet right now for anyone to do anything. Separately from the house construction, I'm hoping to have the...

Made it to St. George. Here is a shot of the temperature reading when we got to the hotel. The highest temp I saw heading to the hotel was 118 deg F. I'd say things are pretty warm here in southern Utah!! Tomorrow morning I'm heading up to Kolob Terrace Rd to go see the scenery and check...

Hey John (I assume your name is John). I think I'll try both your recommendations if I have time (Smith Mesa and Kolob Rd). It looks like Kolob Rd enters Zion National Park. Is a park pass needed to travel the road? We'll be getting a park pass, but it will likely be later in our trip...

Thanks! We're staying in Springdale for this trip, although we'll be in St. George Washington for 1 night. I'll definitely look at your thread in detail and I'll also look for the trail recommendations you've made. Is the Wells book (Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails 3rd...

Heading up to Zion National Park in early July. Unfortunately the trip is not for off-roading, but I think I will have at least half a day, if not a full day, for one good off-road trip. Would love some recommendations on the best trail for Raptors that have some great views and possibly...

Here's a pic after I mounted all the monitors. Might be the final configuration...........We'll see how it works!

Finally got around to installing my Builtright dash mount! Got the components from the kids for Christmas and just hadn't had a chance to install. Heading out to Fredericksburg this weekend for their big Trade Days craft show and market. Taking the RV and needed to get this installed for my...
