It all who you know, 5 years ago you could call sandcrab and he would close down the spots you wanted before you got there, I think he did that for all GD members,  

Sandcrab took care of us a few times!  We camped at all 3 campgrounds and Egin was my favorite, clean and close to the dunes as others have said.

We went to the demolition derby a couple times and had a blast, full on redneck party! We also brought our golf clubs, there's a decent muni course in 'St Anthony.

We also would stay a week at the dunes and a week up in Island Park for trail riding. Great trails all around Island Park and can ride into West Yellowstone from there.

At first glance here were some thoughts:

"The project received $3 billion in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the rest will be privately funded, according to the company." ......I'm not a fan of giving taxpayer funds for privately owned for profit projects. Why does Solyndra come to mind?

"This 218-mile passenger rail service will operate from Las Vegas to Rancho Cucamonga, California, with 96% of its alignment within the median of the I-15 highway.".....Does this mean they are receiving a ton of free real estate along with the $3B?

Final thought....what's the big guys cut?

Don't forget the Pat Tillman Memorial bridge. Rightfully named for a true patriot and hero!

Another.....no shortage of idiots among us!

Here is one....

I don't see many of these up here. 

OJ could slice and dice with the best........and he was pretty good at playing football too.

Stress is the worst. I believe that stress causes more deaths than any other condition, it's just that stress comes with many names attached to it, but the bottom line is a ton of ailments are brought on by stress. I retired at 58 due to stress, a stressful job is not worth your well being. I kept telling myself I can handle stress no problem, but I was fooling myself. I gained weight the last few years before retiring and suffered other effects that I never was aware of until I retired.

I quit drinking 30 yrs ago and don't miss it in the least.

And sleep is critical to good health, and I mean good sleep. Stress causes sleep issues for a lot of people, at least with me it does.

There some things that happen to us we can't control because of genetics. We can mitigate them sometimes by taking action such as a lifestyle change or medication. I was fortunate to inherit good genes, I was always in good shape into my mid 50's. Good blood work results every year, no extra weight, and good strength and stamina. I did work out regularly until my late 40's but no other dedicated efforts other than working hard and playing hard. But then a few months after I retired I was diagnosed with ALS (which is not genetic of course) so you never know what life will throw at you! I had to give up duning, which was my passion, a year after my diagnosis but am 64 now and still somewhat upright and breathing.   

I guess what I'm getting at is get stress out of your life, do what you can to take of yourself, and enjoy the time you have because life doesn't always come with a warranty so enjoy the ride while it lasts!! 

(And if I post some weird chit sometimes, cut me some slack, I have a good excuse!)

Oh damn, a camera, gotta clean the dirt off that side!
