Nice. Captures the sense of place. And as a bonus: Take nothing but pictures and memories. Leave nothing but footprints.

Agreed. My Tundra double cab has been hauling our Hawk and two of us everywhere I want it to go for 3 years now. Recent Toyota service found no significant brake wear at 40,000 miles.

Craig, it is great to have a reliable adventure mobile. Congratulations!

Thanks, I sent the link to my brother in Phoenix, who is looking for a pop-up.

There is a thin floor covering in the back, which I left in place. Honestly, after I built the platform, I did not notice any sound issues. The sound muffling likely increases when we load up all our stuff before a trip.

Wow. Sounds transformative! I am happy the new camera has opened so many opportunities. We are lucky to have so many choices to fit every person's preferences.

The entire rear seat comes out as one piece in my 2019 double cab. Which I did to create a platform with underneath storage. Did not move the antenna.

I know some folks may think I am a knuckle dragger, but I am with Steve. I will keep my Nikon DSLRs until they or I die. I relish the feeling of seeing something I want to photograph and use the camera almost like an extension of my hand and eyes to get the photo. Likely it is a sign I am too...

Yes! Thank our lucky stars the herd instinct is strong in most people.

Beautiful and functional. Just perfect!

Yup! Weird, since I spent my whole working career doing hyper-social work.

There are literally millions of acres of wildflowers in the southwest in a good year. Why people need to swarm in a few areas, for any purpose, has been a mystery to me my whole life. Perhaps I am anti-social.

David Great recommendation. We are trying to decide how much we can see in late March and early April. A lot to choose from: Death Valley, Organ Pipe, SE Arizona and many places in between. Tony

Thanks. I will look.

Oh man, do I ever feel seen!

Good call. We figure we have about one more long trip with ours before replacing -- even though the service folks say they are fine.

Congratulations on your new freedom machine!

He lived a lot of history. I have deep respect for those old USGS survey crews. It wasn't just the climb -- it was all the gear they had to haul!

Hey Doc, I used this software back in the day and really liked it. Maybe they were too far ahead of the times -- my issue was what to do with maps once I generated them. Now we have tablets and ultralight laptops and GPS devices everywhere. I do like the new USGS mapping option now that I have...

Enjoy your time in the land of tea. We do love a nice tea. both taste and aroma, as well as coffee. If we do encounter you in the back of beyond we can introduce you to the delightful smell of the beans, then the ground beans and finally the extract we love so well, the actual coffee drink...

But, but, but... aren't you living in ground zero of the coffee culture? ODE TO COFFEE 01/14/2016 -- sinahodge O sweet coffee, I adore thee, Providing energy for tough days, I hope the day never comes when we have to part ways. Without you I’d be useless, Lethargic and sedated, I can’t...

Craig Coffee taste comes from oils and volatile compounds. Some of that will off-gas from the coffee beans and even more will off gas from ground coffee. It is a surface area thing. But it boils down to what your taste buds are accustomed to. Tony

https://topobuilder.nationalmap.gov/ I fiddled with it for 20 minutes and created eight 7 1/2 minute topos. Having them e-mailed -- soon I hope.

Vic, what is the 'Coors' you refer to? Is it some kind of Kool-Aid or vitamin drink?

Vic, you are right about Italian Roasts, overcooked for sure, but the art for us is to stop the roast well before that -- it is dark, but oily and has a great nose as well as a fine complex palate! Our favorite beans are Yemen, some Ethiopians and some Guatemalans. In that order. I ignore most...
