Spud. I had not seen links before, so they are helpful and the history is really interesting. Thanks for taking the time to post. Ron

Hey Dawn. Nice to hear from you. Right now it looks like around the first of August we’ll be in the North Fork Clearwater area because it looks like there are good camping opportunities and hopefully good fishing. Then head to Powell RS and the Lolo Motorway. I volunteer a little further south...

Thanks Cayuse. I’ve been pouring over the maps looking at your suggestions. Not yet sure of the road conditions over to the St. Joe but that’s a good call I had not thought about.

David. Thank you. Nice to confirm FS roads easy on approach.

Thanks Bill! Looks like that would be a good place to hit on the way up 12.

Kev. Keep me updated and maybe we can meet up, which would be great!

Last year Kevin Mcintyre (kmcintyre on wtw) told me about the Lolo Motorway and I’m going to head there during the first part of August. My buddy who has a large cabover and me with my FWC will head off from Mt. Shasta to Idaho. When we get to Idaho, we will be fishing and camping not only...

Color me green with envy! What a great trip and report. I’ve always wanted to explore Beef Basin, North Cottonwood and all the roads that branch off those areas but I’ve been reluctant to do it alone. It’s nice you had a buddy to share the adventure and back each other up if anything went...

I’ll stick with my inreach explorer because it works fine for me. I mostly use my iPhone paired with it so I suppose the interface on the actual device really does not mean much to me. If I were to purchase one today, I may consider the smaller size, but for now I’m very happy with what I have...

It seems that sometimes we take good service for granted. Of course calling out problems and bad service is important as well, but taking the time to point out the positive is a really good thing. I’m sure it’s appreciated by those who deserve it. So: WELL SAID KEV! Btw: I’ve always had...

Good to know. Nice site. Thanks. I’ll keep an eye on things. Ron

Yes I’m going to the creek and I hope I see you guys. I’ve also got my maps out looking at options for Lolo Motorway, North fork of the Clearwater, Kelly Creek and so on maybe in July. I know you’ve done that and we talked but when I get more familiar with the maps, I’ll email you for more...

I was attacked by this savage creature. I plead self defense!

Headed off for another trip to catch the famous Lahontan Cutthroats. There’s nothing better than loading up the camper for another adventure. Rods, reels and flies packed and ready for another great fishing trip. Great food in the fridge for me and the guys and just a touch of my favorite...

don't run into ducks

Great thread. Better late than never. Not particularly uplifting (an understatement) but filled with heart are two of my favorites And

Really nice photos. I especially like the crab shell and the tree with the water in the back ground. Beautiful. You were in our hood. We are from San Rafael, “over the the hill” as the West Marin people call it. I also did a bit of work with the Feds at the Seashore. There are some great hikes...

Marc. Today, March 13, I basically did the trip your taking but from San Rafael, CA heading to Utah via Scottsdale. I just now got to San Bernardino where I’m spending the night. I went down 5 (or when in LA should I say “THE 5?”- - - Nah). I started up the Grapevine around sundown. Then took...

Thanks folks. I appreciate the comments! One day I hope to meet you on the road. Ron

Thanks for report. Nice truck! Here’s to you have a future full of adventure. Ron

Hey wait a minute. You mean no sheared bolts or horrendous dust storms? You must have been bored out of your mind. Seriously. Nice report and photos. Waiting for chapter 2. Thank you!

Thank you for another great report. As is usually the case, you have inspired me to follow your tire tracks for future adventures. Looking forward to part two. Thanks again! Ron

Hello all. I just finished my DVNP report. Its never good to follow ski after one of his great reports, but here is the link to the report I just did: Ron's Ramblin' Retirement - Death Valley February 2018

Must have just missed Jim. I was there on February 6 & 7. Did North Pass both in and out. Going in and out via North Pass was not the original plan, but that’s another story. Easy going even with a small stretch of ice just as you go over the pass and start heading down to Saline Valley...

Great report with great writing. Really enjoyed it and as people are saying, nice reminder to make sure essential tools are carried for emergencies. Thanks!
