The Cabins
I took a little overnight trip yesterday to one of my favorite places, Lava Hot Springs. I had the choice of camping in my truck, paying tourist season ripoff rates at the motels, or trying something new. I chose Bristol Cabins, a funky little place on the river that offers small one room cabins with no bathroom, no TV, and no internet, for $50.
I went the back way around Palisades reservoir, through Freedom, WY and got stuck in two long construction waits. I just got out of my rig like everyone else and made the most of it.
It was a fine day at Lava: two good soaks, dinner and huckleberry ice cream in town, but it was a rough night at my cabin. I had really bad leg cramps that forced me out of bed every hour, and the bed creaked loudly so all my neighbors knew about it. I could hear them get out of their creaky beds also. At 0500 I was out of there…
So, you know the drill, click the photo below (which was not my cabin btw :-) to see all of the shots.
Limitless
I visited a cool car stereo store down in Idaho Falls today called Limitless. I needed to upgrade the original radio in my old truck and they did a great job. When he first looked my setup over, the tech guy said “You know you won’t be able to play cassettes anymore?” Ah yea, that’s ok…
They had one of those mix and match things going on but I knew what I was looking for, so I just pointed and we proceeded. I went with the Alpine UTE-62BT. This receiver is mechless (no CD drive or disc mechanism) and supports FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec), similar to MP3 but better quality. I’m going to burn all of my CD’s down to FLAC and store them on a single $20 low profile 64G flash drive which plugs right into the front of the unit. Goodbye CD’s!
