Why not, no one else (in their right mind) will claim me.
@PusherX11 - i thought that Cabelas looked familiar.
Havent been in there too much and less since they sold out.
Have a bunch of gift cards to go spend one of these days when stuff is back to normal.

The Four Corners area is home to the Navajo Nation. One of the gems of this region in Canyon de Chelly National Monument.
"Chelly" is pronounced "Shay". The canyon has two major arms that drain towards the west. The southern arm has two impressive sub-canyons.
I've spent more time in the southern canyon but while we were on our Social Distancing Tour 2020 last week, we swung by the northern canyon to check out the Mummy Cave area. I was blown away. I've been trying to learn how to take larger and larger multi-row panoramas and the Mummy Cave Overlook was a chance to go ape shit. I took 8 rows of images, each 35 shots wide. The composite image was 55 feet wide by 25 feet tall at 72 dpi. Shrinking it down to page width takes away most of the fun:
But when you zoom in, the fixation of large montages starts to justify itself:
And then, zooming further in:
I'd like to check out the Mummy Cave ruin up close but the Navajo are very private people and they are very protective of their land. You can hire them for jeep tours of the canyon and I'm tempted to check it out.

Do it! I was up there 15 years ago. It was a blast.
What's the story on that building, an old fort of some sort?
I would love to visit the US one day and visit the reserves to learn about the native Indian culture, it's something that has always fascinated me more so then other traditional cultures around the world.
They need to learn from the Aussie garbage trucks in how to do bin hydraulic lifter arms...
Ancient Indian cliff dwelling. Google spider rock in canyon de chelly. The Navajo legend is a big assed spider came down and taught the people to weave.
I was on a 12k forklift with 12+k on the forks and a hose blew, I bailed right the fuck off of it and thanked God that it didn’t catch fire because taking a shower in hydraulic fluid sucks!
Worked on shit like that for 13 years. We had fires in the back of truck a few time. Once they put dpf systems on the trucks that was when we lost our first truck to a fire. High psi oil and 1200 degree exhaust is not a good combo ?
The Navajo Nations are the shittiest lands in the west, bar none. They've flushed the entire history of the area down the toilet and replaced it with meth , heroin and alcohol. All of my worst memories come from the Nations . Feel free to never post that anti-motvational trash in the future.
The wife and I did a jeep tour several years ago. Well worth it, I highly recommend.
Eons ago I was picking a pallet of advertising literature from the 5th level of the pallets racks using a Crown stand up reach truck when an earth quake hit. It was in the Bay Area and I was working for Atari, that will give you some idea how long ago. Anyway, the reach truck started swaying, the pallet racks were swaying and creaking, shit was falling everywhere so I just dropped and curled up in the fetal position in the reach truck hoping nothing was going to hit me. Fortunately nothing did. It took us about 2 weeks to clean up the warehouse and fix the bent pallet racks.
On a funny note, during this same earth quake there was another guy in a stand up stock picker, the kind the operator goes up with the platform. He was at the 3rd or 4th level when the quake hit. Everyone is his department said the never heard someone scream "Help me Jesus" so loud and so many times. It was a running joke in the lunch room for a long time that everyone in his department would yell "Help me Jesus" when he walked in.
You should try it with a real shop, try in the neighborhood of 20 tool boxes and another 50 equipment cases...and that is just the little shop
I DON’T want to try to itemize 20 tool boxes. I can’t even get 3 right. What the fuck dude. Don’t fry my brain!!!
Fact of the matter is @Hookturnr, my garage is in no comparison to a shop, large or small. I can do shit but the “shop guys” are capable of much more than I can offer. Some of those dudes are true artists and craftsmen as I’m sure you know.
Well, definitely go to the West. Don't go near the Smithsonian! Worst Indian Museum and Casino ever.
I'm not kidding.
Sirhr
Other fetish.
Both are German...
Mine is on the left...
Anyone else motivated by overlanding/off the grid camping? Can’t wait for this Covid19 to be over and try out my new Kodiak tent!
Yes I have. I have not dug deep into the area though. You?
I'd rather spend time in Navajo Nation than San Fran or LA, but to each his own. I won't make excuses for the shape of the reservations of the 4 Corners area, but it's not like white man is totally innocent in the big picture.
