@Interior @BLMNational What's up with all the "Sophia's" asking detailed questions about rigs and obstacles on this thread? Coincidence?

The Alpine Loop is a rugged 4x4 road in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains. Climb to 12,800 feet, explore old mines and ghost towns, wildflowers and abundant wildlife. With no services or cell signal, it’s a pure backcountry adventure. Photo by @BLMNational

@Interior @BLMNational If you are in a vehicle, that is not the "backcountry" SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE

@PhysInHistory Pretty sure he's dead?

Happy 170th Birthday, Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) ✍️ The man who gave us alternating current, the induction motor, the Tesla coil, and the polyphase system that still carries power to every wall socket on Earth. He imagined wireless energy before the world had radio. He died with few possessions and hundreds of patents.

@NightSkyToday But does he lift?

@downonafarm @archeohistories Who the fuck are you to tell him how to live his life?

@archeohistories And it's all vanity. Too bad he couldn't spend that much time and energy and studying the word of God. But I've been that way. I don't want to go back to being that way. Thank you Lord for choosing me.I know that I could not have chosen you.

In July 1985, Mel Fisher’s lifelong dream became reality after more than sixteen years of searching for the Nuestra Señora de Atocha, a Spanish galleon that had sunk in 1622 during a hurricane off the Florida Keys. Fisher, once just a diver with a vision, had poured every resource and every ounce of determination into this pursuit. The Atocha was part of Spain’s treasure fleet, carrying immense wealth from the Americas — and for centuries, its riches remained buried beneath the sea. Fisher’s hunt was marked by endless dives and faint traces of progress, but the promise of history’s greatest sunken treasure kept him going. The journey was anything but easy. For years, his team pulled up only small clues: shards of pottery, scattered coins, and the occasional glint of gold. Fisher’s persistence came at a heavy personal cost, including the heartbreaking loss of his son and daughter-in-law in a diving accident. Many dismissed him as chasing an impossible dream, and financial pressures nearly brought his expedition to collapse. Yet he remained steadfast, repeating his motto: “Today’s the day.” Finally, in the summer of 1985, those words rang true — his divers uncovered bars of gold, followed by a cascade of silver coins, emeralds, and priceless jewels, confirming the discovery of the Atocha’s long-lost treasure. Valued at over $400 million, the find was hailed as the greatest underwater treasure discovery of the 20th century. But even after this triumph, Fisher faced a fierce legal battle with the U.S. government over ownership rights. After years of court proceedings, the ruling came down in Fisher’s favor, cementing his place in history as not just a treasure hunter, but a man who refused to give up on his dream. Today, artifacts from the Atocha can be admired at the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum in Key West, Florida — a testament to his unshakable belief that perseverance can turn the impossible into reality. #archaeohistories

@KariLake Pretty safe to assume she doesn't get the irony here, right?

Arizonans know BS when they see it.
