Oh, this hat's seen its fair share of adventuring (and rough trips through the washing machine and dryer). I'm familiar with Akubra, I know what they are, I know my hat's not an Akubra but I know it's not a cheap nylon pretender, either.

Rhoades isn't indoors, it's under two adjacent overpasses. The one and only indoor park less than 6 hours away from Boise (Lucky 13 or something) shut down when all the free city parks opened up and the revenue dried up. Which was sorta lame 'cause before I moved to CA it meant I'd get two short seasons to ride before it's either raining / snowing or too damn hot to move, let alone ride.
