Yes, Phil is bringing back 24” Spinners.
I like it!
My daughter's initial driving lessons back when I had my '94 F250 IDI Turbo Diesel were fun. 5 spd in the woods was fun. We did some roads when she had her permit but she had one experience on a slight hill with the manual with some hag behind us being impatient that ruined it for her. Dad used some Idaho sign language through the back window of the truck to let said hag know that was enough! She spent the rest of her time learning in the wife's Jeep Cherokee that became the daughter's when she needed a car in college. Sadly that was the last manual for us since they just are not available in the trucks I need now. I would love to get another 70's F250 highboy or an old Willys Jeep to bounce around in the mountains with. Neither is in the budget though.Took the mini Ranger out for a drive.
Thing 1 is learning how to drive, so we use the mini Ranger as a visual aid when talking about driving concepts.
It was the first time out on the roads (instead of just the parking lot) in a regular vehicle without a second set of controls. Originally was just going to do the country roads part, but ended up doing the whole trip home, including some major city streets.

The high tech Hawaiian Good Luck Salute!! I still prefer analog!!I just keep this on my phone for easy sign language use.
Even better if you have an iPad with you.
My fly fishing buddy from church is a retired geologist and he worked in Owyhee County for many years. Still registers his plates there on his old Landcruiser. He did that so the locals wouldn't give him grief while working there. He would analyze core samples for the mines during exploration and sometimes pulling out ore. Looks like an awesome trip!Ranger made a trip to Silver City, Idaho a mining ghost town in the Owyhee mountains. HWY 78 starts with 7 miles of paved road then another 15 miles of dirt/gravel road.
I'm not THAT regular!!Hopefully you made an appointment before you arrived.
That is something I didn't need to know.I'm not THAT regular!!
Beautiful location!
They do have a couple pit toilets for visitors. Most houses are privately owned and get vandalized so they are locked up. Some people use the old cabins for summer camps.I'm not THAT regular!!
Sounds like a great job seeing the backcountry.
