Gulch (horse) Puns

This one was curious - why was Dead Horse Gulch searched on Day 1?

It was said it was based on a psychic's tip.

Turns out that "psychic" is a guy, Ed Dames, who considers himself an RV (remote viewing) expert, who was a member of the CIA STAR GATE program.

The Star Gate Program was terminated in 1995, and the program was declassified after a CIA report concluded that the information from this remote viewing program was never useful in any intelligence operation.

Mr. Dames claimed to have developed information that showed Suzanne Morphew was located at a specific Latitude and Longitude, and he wrote Sheriff Spezee a letter providing this information.

That location lat & long was in or around Dead Horse Gulch near Salida, CO.

It’s often joked about that Red vs. Blue hasn’t been about the Reds and Blues fighting since BGC ended. While this is true for the main conflict of the series, the truth is almost every season after contains a Red fighting a Blue in some capacity.

Season 6: Sarge/Lopez and Sister are still opposed in Reds and Blues Blood Gulch Battle. Also Simmons/Grif and Caboose are briefly pitted against eachother at Rat’s Nest.

Season 7: The characters are once again pitted against eachother. Their not fighting all that much, but it’s not that different from their Blood Gulch days.

Season 8: Tex battles the Reds. Also Wash spends the entire season fighting the Reds (and Blues) and at the end becomes a Blue.

Season 9: As a recreation of Blood Gulch, the characters are once again stationed against eachother, even getting a few good shots in (Donut against Church, Tex against Lopez)

Season 10: Tex drones fight The Reds (and Blues). Church also has a brief falling out with the Reds (and Blues). The Reds briefly “surrender” to the Blues.

Season 11: Hoo boy Chorus Trilogy. Ok so the Reds and Blues are on 2 bases against eachother again, but their not really in any sort of war (unlike 1-10). Lopez 2.0 does retaliate against the teams but doesn’t attack any of them.

Season 12: So 2 of the reds and 2 of the blues are on apposing sides of a war from 3 of the reds and a blue. but these aren’t Red team and Blue team, they’re 2 independent factions. And the reds and blues on side don’t directly fight, they actually team up the minute they meet up. still, worth a mention.

Season 13: I….honestly don’t know. Like the only season where all the reds and the blues are teamed up 100%.

Season 14: Variants of this fight. We see the fight of the reds and blues, the origin of the reds and blues, other reds and blues “fighting”, the possible inspiration for the starting fight, a lego variation, the leaders have a rap battle, caboose gives his view of the fight.

Season 15: So this one’s interesting. our Reds and Blues fight other teams of Reds and Blues. Sarge also joins the evil reds fighting our blues

Season 16: Donut breifly joins a force that fights the (Reds and) Blues. Also briefly go back to the fights between the Reds and Blues and The Rs & Bs and Bs and Rs.

Season 17. The main antagonist possesses Church and Tex to fight the Reds. Also we see flashes of when the Reds and Blues fought.

Zero (because I know THAT GUY will point it out): The reds aren’t even in this seaso

actually its an even smaller sttring of islands off the caost called the gru ming minors

I have no idea how this area made it past play testing I seem to can't find a way to differentiate the poison statues from the regular ones. I originally thought the darker ones were the poison ones but that's not always the case which is objectively a horrible design choice. I have common fruit but it doesn't make a consequential difference.

I hope this isn't breaking any rules, if so my apologies :) I could go in detail on the reasons why it's a great map to me but this is already going to be something people label TL;DR

I miss that beautiful map, and am hoping enough people feel the same that one of them whose into map designing create it in Forge and made available for public use. I don't know how the rights and other legal roadblocks are from Bungie>343 as far as being able to use the content from older games in newer ones, so I don't know if it would even be a possibility as an official release map. But that is a reach anyways, just hoping if the capability in the full-release Forge mode is as high as I have heard that someone makes it happen.

Don't get me wrong, I think 343 deserves some serious recognition for the way they make their maps unbelievably well-designed on all levels; from player count to match quickness to spacing of Power Weapon pickups and utility(stuff like the grapple) pickups, and the muti level design(called verticality I think?)honest opinion of mine is their work on MP arena's has been absolutely top notch on all 10 maps we have seen. But of all the Halo games I've played from 1-5, ODST, Reach, and MP for Infinite, the first thing that comes to mind thinking of 'Halo' is the Blood Gulch map from the first game. Of course nostalgia hits me thinking about the map, but that isn't a factor in me making this post. I will pay you personally in Subanese crystals for filling my request. For those unaware, that's what Needler ammunition is made from ;)

I’m visiting with a friend this weekend who lives in the Gulch. Wondering if anyone here has some pro tips to park closer to the Gulch without blowing 75-100 dollars for the weekend on parking.

When I first started playing Flames of War it was because I wanted to represent the 101st Airborne with 2nd Armoured Sherman tanks at Carentan. I want to do the same in Bolt Action and I have written the following 1000 point "all-comers" list using the US Airborne Reinforced (Normandy) selector from the US-Sector book, which I think ticks every box but was wondering if I could please get some opinions on it?

>US Airborne Reinforced (Normandy) - 998 Points
>
>Airborne 2nd Lt: Officer, 1x man - 80
>
>Paratrooper Squad: NCO, 6 w/ rifle, 1 w/ BAR - 117
>
>Paratrooper Squad: NCO, 6 w/ rifle, 1 w/ BAR - 117
>
>Paratrooper Squad: NCO, 4 w/ rifle, 1 w/ BAR - 89
>
>Pathfinder Squad: NCO w/ smg, 5 w/ smg - 108
>
>Medium Mortar: Regular, Spotter - 60
>
>Bazooka: Veteran, Stubborn upgrade x2 - 80
>
>Sniper: Veteran, Stubborn upgrade x2 - 69
>
>57mm Anti-Tank: Veteran, Stubborn upgrade x3 - 93
>
>M4 Sherman 75mm: Regular - 185

Any and all opinions welcome. This won't be a competitive list, just a fun list for down the gaming club!

Cheers

I’m considering bringing my dog on a one night trip through Buckskin Gulch next spring and am not quite sure what to expect. It looks like there are at least two boulder jams, one with a ladder and one with steps carved into the rock. My dog is about 50lbs and I’ll have a ~40lb pack with me, so my biggest concern is the jam with the down climb that has the foot holds carved into the rock. Is this doable for one person with a dog? I’m an average sized man and can carry my dog, but I don’t know how steep it is. One thought is to bring approach shoes, but again I don’t know what to expect.

Second question: is the gulch harder in one direction than the other? I’m debating backtracking from the Paria River and heading north to White House campground, as one way requires a shuttle. Is backtracking to Wire Pass doable?
