I keep hearing about investors buying up homes. It does not seem like an investment to me when the prices are sky high. How can a person make money

Then I came across this article and it explained a lot of what may be going on , carazy

That's great. RPR would be a tough place to dig a hole. 

There is that lake nearby. Lots of rocks for weighting the body

My wife is from Munich and as her dad was a pilot she has traveled all over the world and has lived in some cool places.
She speaks 4 languages ( I barely know one )

I wouldn't have have to twist her arm to move out of the country.
Plus it will kill me to pay a huge sum for another house and to keep paying stupid propert taxes.

Every time I see these types, I just think.........and you wonder why you can't get laid. 
 

I honestly don't think they care like we did at their age

thread derail: what aspects of suspension service are you unwilling to do at home or leave with a local shop?

I think my fork needs more love as the rebound adjuster no longer adjusts.
That would indicate to me that it needs more that the basic service.

Has anyone tried Trail Labs out of Missouri ?

is the stuff I use to help condition the soil to build up the beneficial microbes. You’ll never have to fertilize if you have healthy soil. 
 

Good stuff right there man

This past weekend I took a solo trip to BVille. I stayed at the recently opened Coler Campgrounds   https://www.peelcompton.org/coler-mountain-bike-preserve/camping/

Since it was just me the small platform was plenty good. There are 16 well spread out site and 6 pads for camper vans (did see a dude with an Outback and teardrop) The sites don't have water and no fires allowed. 

That was fine with me. There is a community fire pit if that's your thing. 

The area itself is on the west side of Coler and about maybe 200 yards from the paved trail but people dont come over and through all the trees I doubt they know there is a campground there. Airship coffee is a short walk away and a couple green trails are right there leading toward the south end and connecting over to Coler.  From this location it is a short ~10 Min drive to the Little Sugar trail. You can ride the paved path south and hit 3rd St and then wind your way over to downtown BVille in maybe ~15 min , so located nicely.

There was a gate that required a code to enter to keep out the riff raff commoners and you park once you go through the gate ( Cars \ trucks are in a lot and and so you don't potentially have your car near the sites)

Every time I came in driving there was a docent there to check my name and pop in the code for me. Super nice people.

The grounds are very clean and nicely kept.

The bath rooms are separate from men\woman and there is a code to enter the bath rooms. They were amazingly clean and heated. The men's room had 5 showers and 3 toilets . Looked nice with the wood and tile.

I was concerned with my bike , I noticed some people would leave the site and keep their bikes at their site. Some people left them on their racks. I kept mine in the back of my truck , I have a cap so it was locked. 

Anyways I'd definitely go back there and was pleasantly surprised how nice it was.

I live in NW Austin . Parmer and Anderson Mill area. New Apple Campus adjacent and across from 7700 Parmer that's about to add almost a million sq ft.
Couple weeks back a house went pending at 600k in my hood. A newer section of the hood listed a house for 879,900. Nice home but really? I dont begrudge the sellers at all. Told my wife we should just pick a number and when homes consistently hit that range then we sell then rent. We can't move for 6 more yrs then we are out.

That's clockwise.  I've only done it ccw.  Will do it cw next time.  Thanks!

I love that G Out in that direction and the flow is nice,, but that is me ,, I ride that whole area "wrong" as it is 

I dunno about any of that. I prefer starting at the end closest to the creek main trail end. Faster and all once you get past the initial hill

Going back to the thread topic.  Is the roller coaster section the Hawg Jawz trail?

Yes sir. And definitely runs better one direction over the other

Is this at Olson Meadows entrance? Can’t quite tell from pic?

I see a camper van spot in the near future for me.

Right. If you never been to that location it is pretty cool and super ez to ride in and out and drive if needed.

I went up there a few weeks ago for a change of pace. Parked at the marina and went up the road and through the gate on the left. Rode in and was very surprised how much and how fun the trails were on that side. As it got flatter and closer to the lake there was a huge uptick in hikers and people. A local husband and wife said it was their local trail and locals tend to stay and ride on the marina side (dont know if that's the west or east end tbh) the terrain is different and hikers thus dont bother. MtB Project has great maps of it all. My way back i found a trail that ended up next to the gate house on the road leading back to the marina.
Across the road above the marina is newish trail. I talked to a dude parked next to me and he said behind the bath room building is a trail that winds around a few miles and crosses the road up by the gate house. But seems to me the normal entrance where it should start gets a ton more traffic then the end I was at.

Oh, planning on a 5 day trip, 3 full days of riding......maybe a short one on arrival/departure day.
thanks again,

Yall will have a great time. I stayed directly on the Back 40 when I was there recently so can't speak of the hotel route.
But zero shortage for places to stay. I loved the Back 40 and Little Sugar. Coler was amazing to ride and hang also. The Slaughter Pen trails has absolutely no shortage of options. My boy is 14 and he was quite content spending hours and hours and more hours riding various options there.
I'm going back for some solo time soon myself.
Its really amazing and friendly and very extensive. The OZ website has great trail info

It's a sinkhole which dispersed into the creek bed, and every time the water level rises it will continue to erode beneath that section of the bank until it eventually all collapses. The Army Corps might be able to fix it, but our easiest solution is an inland re-route.

Correct. And also goes under the tree line a bit. Re route. But ultimately isnt it AJ's? Maybe he is concocting a plan of attack? Anyone actually ask him personally?
