Wild roses that give the area its name

Rosie and I completed a 3,000-mile road trip through WA, OR, NV and CA.
The original plan was to spend 3-4 days camping in Death Valley. However, upon getting there we found that many of the trails we planned to do were closed due to rain damage from last winter. Instead, we spent a couple of...
Well, that is one of the unintended consequences of offering 15% off MSRP for months on end.
I got 26% off MSRP late last year: MSRP was $67,555; I paid $49,995.
Stellantis's stupidity is decimating customers' resales values.
Thanks! Rosie is the sweetest dog, too.
It is this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJV2ZY9H?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
I have purchased a dozen different dog pads over the past several months; this one is by far the best in terms of comfort, appearance and ease of care.
A few days ago Rosie and I completed a 3,000-mile road trip through WA, OR, NV and CA. Our final destination was supposed to be Death Valley, but the harsh winter rains damaged a lot of the trails we were planning to do. So instead we ended spending time on the Eastern Sierras.

Day 2 wasn't nearly as spectacular, but it had its highlights.
Sunrise over the Columbia River, Wenatchee, WA

Rosie is done with this business of "sharing" a bed!
Rosie and I left on a 2-week road trip to Death Valley, CA.
We did the first 250 miles today to Wenatchee, WA. Took Scenic North Cascades Hwy (WA-20) through North Cascades Natl. Park.
I moved to Washington State 7 years ago; this is the 7th consecutive time I do the mountain crossing once...
Sadly, we live in an age when ridiculous = normal.
A couple years ago I replaced both batteries on my 2018 JL with Super Start batteries from O'Reillys; paid $107 for the auxiliary battery and $199 for the main one. It took about 3 hours of my time to drive to O'Reillys, pickup the batteries...
These sales figures are not flattering.
While Jeep is up 2%, the overall market is up 5.5%. Worse, Stellantis as a whole is down 10%.
More factoids:
Hyundai-Kia outsold Stellantis by 44,000 units
Stellantis outsold Honda by a mere 1,000 units
Jeep outsold Subaru by only 4,000 units
Ram, the...
It was a dealer installed Mopar lift. If the dealer doesn't know/cannot install a Mopar lift, and will not honor the Mopar guarantee, then there is no point of buying a Mopar lift. A key part of buying Mopar parts is so that Jeep and its dealers will honor the warranty.
If you do a bit of...
I had the dealer install a Mopar lift on my 2018 JL Sahara. If I were to do it all over again, I wouldn't got with the Mopar lift.
The ride was smooth and the articulation excellent, but I encountered too many issues:
The Jeep came home with the front axle off center by 1.5 inches. I swapped...
