My home and why I love it. I'll (probably) keep updating this. In this first post, all the photos are from the 4th of July weekend to now, all taken with my phone. I know that this is a forum about urban developments and things of that nature, but perhaps this thread will help to serve a nice reminder that we really can't do anything nearly as spectacular as mother nature can. The world in which we live is an amazing place, go out and enjoy it!

Yeah. Track bar was loose. Not good, but a quick and easy fix.

Can see what was making that rattle, I broke the bump stop clean off (it's sitting inside the spring).

That's a steak. You don't see any silverware because we were eating our steaks with our hands. Don't need no knife or fork!

For reference, that's my size 13 footprint in the snow, at the base, to use for scale.
