Did a day trip out to Darrington on Sunday. Just heard they rebuilt the bridge that had washed out going to Rat Trap pass. Use to do some camping back in that area 10 years ago before it had washed out. Tried to access the area from the other end off Mt. Loop but that was washed out a few years back. Guess they repaired the entire thing since then.
I had some dew when I got up yesterday morning but no rain here thank god

Was doing great! Had about a week straight no top or doors...nothin like a surprise hail storm to really throw u off! Damn you weather channel! After I threw some tarps on I checked the weather channel to see if they had any changes....apparently it was clear sky's and a 10% chance of rain as I stood there getting pelted with hail and rain. Just thought I share that sweet story with y'all

Still topless in Stanwood. The convergence zone is a fickle weather effect. Some times you're in it, sometimes you're not. Good weather started here and has been consistent since the 4th.

I think my Jeep likes topless. For some reason my mileage improved. ;-)

But I barely get highway so drag is no effect. It's mostly the insane traffic between Lynwood and Redmond going through Woodinville's wine country to avoid 405. Same retard traffic but a much nicer scenic road.

However, this weekend I drove to Kent on I-5 with top down and the Spiderweb up because of the wife and the mileage was virtually the same as with the hardtop on.

Same up here in the San Juans, good weather came on the 4th and will be in the 70s-80s the next week or so

Took the doors & top off last week as a heatwave has swept across Alberta. I'm loving it!
