We haven't had LEO issues @ W9/10 We saw the Permit Staff once on Friday morning. I saw them I realized our permit wasn't up, so I went outside. "Do you have a permit" "Yeah I forgot to put it up" "Okay". That was it for the weekend.

We had to replace the carb on our Onan within a year due to fuel varnishing :oops: Yes I did try a rebuild kit first & it was a little better, but wouldn't run consistantly or start easily :( Rebuilds even @ the factory have a 50/50 sucess ratio, so you can give it a shot & if it doesn't work put a ...
I can't get enough detail from these maps on my computer to tell :? , but wasn't there an area of previous military training use that ended up in a Wilderness Area :shock: .
