Check out camper builds here. Storage was what I wanted in my Shell Build. Did not need hot water for the way we camp. Always used the 20 gal tank for drinking water, learn how to sanitize the tank and no problems. Good luck with your build, take lots of pictures, we love pictures. Bill

Until my grandkids are able to be vaccinated I will continue to wear a mask around people I do not know. I am fully vaccinated but going to protect the kids. Bill

"Been wondering the same Bill. I think I will wait until the time is a little closer as smoke and heat will factor into my decision." Ted you are right on that. Change in the wind and some areas will be out. Let me know where you decide to go, may join you and check your Tiger. Just can't be...

Still the best Trip Reports to read and enjoy your painting. Milt please keep them coming. Thanks Bill

Forgot to say, It is good to see Julie out camping on her new knee.

Looking for advice on where to camp and watch the Perseid Meteor Shower. Looks like the peak will be August 11th and 12th. Thinking about eastern Sierra's along 395. Now traveling in my Class B van so nothing rougher than a forest road to get to the camp spot. Moon sets at 10:05 PM in Bridgeport...

The Teds have officially moved to glamping. That is one fine looking rig.

+1 for the crowds dissipating. I sold my Tundra and Hawk in January for $34K may have gotten more now. But I am happy and got my Class B van about 20% off MSRP, that would not happen now.

Everyone will have tough decisions to make as we get older. I sold my FWC and went to a Class B for more comfort. Remember the forum is call WANDER the west. Keep wandering, it doesn't matter how you spent the night. Stay around and tell us what you see on your travels. Bill

Milt I always love the art and heart you put into your trip reports. Bill

Dump was the beach in Fort Bragg years ago. You can still see the concrete pad trucks backed up to, to dump. There are still some rusted out engine blocks and rear ends in places. Most of the junk has rusted away or was claimed by the ocean. But glass was broken up and polished by the sand.

Just put up our report on our trip to the Redwoods, Mattole Road and the Lost Coast. Plus Glass Beach. Trip report here. Bill

Just read an article in Outside Online. Do I Have to Share My Campsite? Dispersed camping is getting less dispersed. Our ethics columnist weighs in on whether you need to share. I may not agree with everything in the article but it does give you something to think about. I guess we...

I love a good cup of coffee. Use a Jura at home and an Aeropress on the road.

Bolts Antique Tool Museum. Oroville CA. I have not been there but do want to go.

Not disagreeing on being a pessimist. But I feel that being a user and being a steward does not have to be mutually exclusive. I hope we can be both.

"We have met the enemy and he is us." Pogo I hope the education works. Most of us have enjoyed the backcountry and boondocking for years. I hope we all leave the areas we visit cleaner than we arrived. But just the number of people can be a problem. Last time I was at Alabama Hills there were...

I have a 2021 Coachmen Class B RV on a 2020 Ford Transit 350HD with a 3.5 Ecoboost. I have been very impressed with power and milage. Took a trip to Texas and back, never lacked for power. Just set CC and goes up any hill without slowing, 10 sp trans is smooth. As far as mileage running the...

Ted. Going to copy part of your trip next week. Have a reservation at Burlington Campground in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, Monday night. Going to go to Ferndale and take the Mattole Rd south back to the park. Then south and try to get a site at Westport Landing. Any Wander The Wester's...

+1 one. You will feel just a little better and safer when you go out. Two weeks after getting our second shot we went inside a grocery store for the first time in over a year. Still used our masks but felt much safer.

84,769 Yea, for replacement body parts. Several friends have had hips and knees replaced, all doing well. I am looking at a new knee. Getting old is not for the weak.

Some of my best trips in the FWC was when we did not know where we were going. Going to have to check out the Walker River State Recreation Area.

Good to see a trip report in the new rig. Keep enjoying. Bill

Unfortunately it is starting to look like a trend at National Parks.
