Dispersed camping recommendations near Rushmore?

Howdy from New Mexico!

We’re going to be coming up to explore the Black Hills for a few days at the end of the month, and we’re on the lookout for good dispersed sites, ideally within striking distance of Rushmore, but we’re willing to explore further as needed. Feel free to DM, I’ll keep your favorite spots hush hush!

Thanks!

PSA: Plan for the worst

Hey there fellow old dads. A friend of mine, an old dad to an 8 and 6 year old, died last week.

He had a lot of assets— three homes, a car collection, presumably good cash reserves. And no will. He was in his 60s, very fit, climbed mountains, was a former body builder who weight trained regularly.

His stay-at-home wife is in shock and has absolutely no idea how she’s going to pay the $100k in tuition that’s about to come due for this school year.

It doesn’t matter how healthy you are, something could always happen. And the older you get, the more resources you have, the more you need to plan for and protect your family.

Lens is in excellent condition. I only shot with it a few times and discovered that I prefer 35mm for my style of shooting, so it's been sitting on my gear shelf for a couple years. Includes both caps, a Leica UV filter, and the original leatherette case.

Price is for payment via Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay, crypto, or PayPal FF. $3000 for PP G&S.

Experience with Motorola insurance

My Ultra comes tomorrow, and I’m trying to decide whether to get T-Mobile or Moto coverage. The Moto plan is cheaper, but have folks had good experience with it?

Looking for a talented modder to replace hands

I bought this custom GM-B2100 a couple years ago, and, while I love it, the hands are too hard to see, there's not enough contrast in anything other than perfect conditions. So I want to swap them out for white, fully lumed hands.

I'm clumsy enough to know not to try this myself-- are there any recommendations for modders/shops who can do this for me without screwing up the watch, and who will maintain the waterproofness?

SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD

Fully loaded-- the equivalent M5 Max now is $7,700 + a 6 week wait. Images: https://imgur.com/a/unnXYwK

Includes computer, charger, charge cord. Ships or in person from Santa Fe, NM. I will be in Denver next week if you live up there and want to do an IRL transaction.

$4,000 shipped, $3,800 IRL

My back story-- I had a fully loaded M2 Max MBP with Apple Care on it, and it got water dumped on it on a flight, so Apple replaced it with this M4 Max unit a few months ago. However, while I was waiting for them to go through their claim process, I bought a Mac Studio and have ended up not using this nearly as much as I thought, so I'm selling it.

Haven't bought or sold on appleswap before, but I do have a couple watch transactions on r/watchexchange: https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/wiki/confirmations/wombatmcgeez/

Repairs: None

2005 9-3 Convertible Top Liner

My '05 9-3 is needing to have the hydraulics rebuilt, so they're going to have to take the whole thing apart. The interior liner is somewhat tattered, and so I'm trying to figure out where to source a replacement while they have it apart anyway.

Anybody have any leads? (pic for attention!)

First bike recommendations for big and tall?

I'm 6'6, 260 lbs. Have never ridden a motorcycle before, but would like to get into it. Budget is flexible. Riding will be mostly pavement/dirt road (not trail), but I live off of a forest service road (4 miles of dirt), so I need something that will be comfortable to drive to/from my house.

Thank you!

Not the most durable for regular rough roads...

I just wanted to add this to the corpus of information online out there for potential buyers.

I've owned two Rivians at this point:

  • A very early 2022 launch edition
  • A 2024 Gen1 R1S

I've put over 120,000 miles on my Rivians between the two. I love these trucks.

Last fall, I moved from my house in town up into the mountains. The last four miles on the road to my house are a dirt forest road, maintained occasionally. Plenty of bumps and washboarding. I generally drive into town twice a day (so, 16 miles a day on dirt).

In the last seven months, my R1S has become a creak and rattle machine. Everything feels loose, the drivetrain feels sloppy, it just was not put together for this. More and more, I find myself driving my 22-year-old Land Cruiser that's as stout as an ox.

All this to say: I think the Rivians are absolutely fantastic vehicles and they are highly capable off-road, but after the experience I've had the last few months, I would not recommend them if you are going into the dirt daily.

YMMV
