Beautiful weather, if a bit warm during the day, for exploring Utah last weekend!

Defenders and rigs like them can get you to some fine places.

Met not another soul on my trip to this lake that's always been a bit off the radar. A forest service road and trail that were never too great; damaged and closed by fire related landslides some years back recently reopened.

I had a chance to drive this vehicle, and one thing that amazed me was - how did the rear glass stay absolutely spotless given the amount of dust the rest of the vehicle collected. This picture was made about 1/5 into the trail, but the glass stayed as spotless as it is on this photo until the very end and beyond. I forgot to ask what the owner used on the glass, and won't have another chance for a long time, so I just keep wondering till then.

My own trick is Meguiar's Quick Wax on all the glass, but even though nothing bigger sticks to the glass, the dust still does. This, on the other hand, is pristine.

Ceramic coating, including windows, was included with the purchase. I’ve been impressed ever since. We had new graphics put on the stern of our boat in San Diego and I immediately coated the graphics. Salt water stains rinse off easier than the rest of the hull, no spotting, nothing. No other tricks…..

A really fun day in the mountains.

Winter is beginning to limber up.

Our hike became a bit snowier and windier than expected.

Checked out a lookout I’ve not been to before. Narrow brushy trail. Had to roll the windows down to maneuver some branches and curl the mirrors in. Stripes are never out of style.

You know it's a Friday when the dentist posts in this thread!
The snow surprises me ! Can't wait to have at it in the next couple weeks ... good times indeed.
