Still dreaming of doing this hike someday. Beautiful shot!

Maybe it has something to do with the crazy amount of darkness we get in the winter. I hear ya tho, my eyes are really sensitive so I always think ppl have their brights on!

I am just starting to explore Baker in the winter and LOVE Heather Meadows/Artists Point but am also just beginning to understand avalanche awareness and how to navigate. One of the things that is stressed in almost any class/group is that Bagley Lakes is an extremely dangerous terrain trap with a high probability of avalanches from that mountain face just out of the photo on the right. Had NWAC lowered their Avvy Danger yesterday?

This will just be a new way for the police to apply systematic racism/classism. The white and wealthy will, on average, get a pass, and the rest will get arrested.

But how else will they compensate for their teeny-tiny ding-a-lings?

My great grandma lived in Provo and that's my memory of Utah.

I just turned up my headlight dial. Really helps with the nights.

As well, the new Tesla and Rivian brake lights are so bright they’re like laser beams that burn your eyes

Everything flat...Utah...?
Have you been to Zion, Bryce, Salt Lake, Flaming Gorge, Kanab?

This has me wondering now how I could legally mount a good sized mirror on the back of the car to help show them the folly of their ways and encourage some following distance...

Somehow it always seems to be the spotlessly clean giant truck with an empty bed, no passengers, and nothing on the hitch.
Bro, you don't need a fucking Ford F9000 super-blinder to pick up groceries.

>"I'm not saying this to be dramatic. I still have nightmares because of some of the things I witnessed, going to a fatal collision where a number of kids were killed," Lovick said in an interview with KING 5. "All of these things were preventable. A drunk driver makes the choice, and it's a bad choice, and they make the decision. You don't have to drink and drive. It's pretty simple."
>Lovick also said of the more than 700 people killed on roads in Washington last year, over half were DUI-related.
I would like to know how many accidents were caused with people who had a .05-.07 BAC. Is this bill being proposed because the evidence shows that people at .05-.07 still cause significantly more accidents?
I'd think a former trooper would be able to get those numbers pretty easily and see if the numbers make the case for him.

Real roads are perfectly flat, but only in places like Utah where everything is flat.

I thought so too until I saw bright blue ones.

I've noticed folks whose headlights are not working properly who use their high beams. For example: someone with one headlight out. I'm "that bitch" who will blast my high beams right back at jerks who fail to dim theirs for oncoming traffic, and sometimes when I do that the other car will turn their beams off and I can see that only one of their regular headlights is operational.
As someone who is light sensitive and drives for a living, it sucks and sucks a lot.

It's not just you. They are so bright now, and sometimes when a car goes over a bump behind me, for a split second I think they've flashed their lights at me.

it does make driving at night scary, i'm so glad i'm not the only one who's been feeling this way!! i have astigmatism too so driving at night is already a little uncomfortable sometimes... a quick blinding doesn't help

As much of a problem as this may be I fear the people who don't turn on their lights. Worse ore the ones that have headlights on but not taillights. Make sure your taillights turn on when driving in the dark or rain. For your own safety.

There was a visible trail but it snowed about a foot yesterday. That said, Bagley Lakes are pretty easy to find!

Try wearing yellow safety glasses at night. It cuts down glare, and can help enhance contrast. That’s what my optometrist recommends. Works pretty well for me day or night.
