Mostly I agree but I will also be a slight contrarian. We call her GlitterGirl, by the way. If you are willing to sort through an enormous amount of chaff, she does throw out the occasional kernel of useful information. She should get some creds, after all, for going out alone and putting her...

We are looking forward to the end of this endless summer in Portland. The last significant rain was June 16th: And too many hot 90+ days for our so-called pacific northwest temperate climate:

Looking forward to the trip report! :)

Likewise. My brother went a couple of times, which reduced our interest from zero to less than that.

Stupid, immature, ignorant drone owners are going to create a pushback on their peeping tom toys. I am inclined to agree with you. After the first time this happens to us, I guess I will then need to begin carrying a shotgun during nature's necessities. I will look forward to the conversation...

You may want to prioritize that screen. We all know about flies and mosquitos, but we never expected the hordes of tiny black beetle like flying things that swarmed us in the sunset crater area of Arizona. We were sure grateful for that screen then.

Have fun with the new rig, Steve. Lots of great experiences ahead!

Horse stall mat.

Paul, Never tried baking in it yet. We hauled a stovetop oven around for a couple of years, but never used it. It is in a drawer in the attic somewhere now. Tony

Thanks Steve. We use it a lot on our campstove set up outside the camper under the awning. Mostly for steaming veggies, heating pasta sauce to put on sliced polenta, cooking rice, etc. With the small fry pan on one burner, with brauts or polenta slices or bacon & eggs, and the small dutch oven...

We use these, and like them a lot for our camping needs. https://www.amazon.com/Segretto-Cookware-Enamel-Handle-Enameled/dp/B09NYCCFDV/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=small%2Bcast%2Biron%2Bdutch%2Boven&qid=1661390337&s=kitchen&sr=1-17&th=1...

I agree! We spend a lot of time in southern Utah -- but nowhere near Moab!

I open up the back spigot, drain the tank, then run water through the fill pipe until a few more gallons come out the spigot. Let it fill a bit, then run water through the faucet in the sink for a gallon or so. Then fill it up. We are on treated city water, very good tasting water, and that...

A week! That is pretty exciting. Hope you enjoy your new rig.

Unless you have need to take your camper off of the truck when camping, then best to leave them at home. There was a fellow on here a while ago that got his jacks tangled into vegetation and kept going -- resulting in severe damage to his camper. Another fellow hit a mailbox. Both campers...

I always think of:

Same battery, new, for $245. https://completebattery.com/index.php/menu/itemdetail/6239F417-E6DD-4BB2-8161-10E19A66FD4E

Yes. I think so.

We put Continental E rated Terrain Contacts on out Tundra/Hawk. They handle well, are quiet on the highway, and after a year there is almost no wear (15,000 miles). I will do the same when these wear out. Have taken them into some fairly rough Death Valley roads and southern Utah back country. I...

I like that he is self published and includes just about everything in his several books -- if you can decipher his descriptions.

Happy times!

Craig, If you have not been to Newberry Volcano (Paulina Lake) and seen the Big Obsidian Flow, it is very much worth the trip, and it is close to your travels. Tony

Entirely true, Steve!

We used Hullavators on our Tundra before we bought our Hawk. An important consideration is how heavy a Hullavator is -- which is quite heavy. The roof will be quite difficult to lift I expect. We have a couple of 17 foot wood kayaks we built about 8 years ago from Pygmy Boats. They are lite...
