Just bought my first ice house (used). It has a heater in it, but I'm putting in a stove as well. Its of the Coleman variety with it's own regulator. (kind made to run off of 1lb tanks, but can be used with a bulk cylinder with an adapter). Here's the problem. Every single time, and I mean every time I turn either on, the OPD valve kicks in.
Here's the set up....tank to a 3 ft hose, to a tee...from one leg of the tee is the heater regulator going to the heater. From the other leg is 8ft of 3/8 copper going to the stove regulator. If I take the tee out, and hook up each device directly to the take, they work fine, however with the tee in place the valve kicks in. Not sure why...there are no leaks in the system....any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
