    Washington State - best areas near Seattle?

    If you really want to live in Washington and want to be near the mountains. Just move to Wenatchee. you are a couple hours to Seattle if you want to go visit and you are minutes from the mountains and such. It's not a huge city but big enough to give you all the amenities.

    Ford 5.0L V8 vs EcoBoost: High mileage experience?

    I have a 16' 3.5EB. it currently has 170K on it and I got it with 60K on it. I have the stupid manifold leak and have for awhile now and I just keep putting off getting it fixed. Replaced all the coil packs with high performing ones as I had some misfires but this solved it. Had the electronic...

    I’m not looking for honey holes but…

    My goat packing experiment

    Do you think there is an argument that if they are spending a lot of energy keeping warm that they will have less energy to pack? That was my thought on the coats as I know they can handle pretty nasty weather. They don't get pampered too much at home, just a shelter to keep them dry and out...

    My goat packing experiment

    I wanted to update this thread since I finally got to pack meat with my goats. This was a rut hunt here in eastern Washington that I drew. I was expecting some snow but it ended up being in the 40s and super mild. Great for backcountry hunting, not so great for deer movement. On the morning of...
