How cool. I hope they have a successful mating and produce a litter. Glad he found a mate so he can wander and not be lonely.

We will be south of there in a few weeks but would like to check out Lockhart Basin. Is Lavender Canyon gated? I heard it was off limits for camping. Thank-you for the great fotos yo illustrate your travels.

Fabulous TR, even more so that we plan on being there in 3 weeks. We will probably miss the wildflower show so that would be a great incentive to return next early May. Thank you so much for sharing, especially the images that really illustrated where you were.

I knew some of you have been on the same roads we have. Maybe we will see some of you out there. Wandering Sagebrush: The birds appear a few at first then about 25 or so. It had rained so the insects on our truck and camper were moistened and easy to remove. They made short work of it. We were...

Just finished TR for our 3 week trip from April 7-27. There are 5 parts organized by state: WA: http://clikrf8.wordpress.com/2014/04/08/ OR: http://clikrf8.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/ CA/NV/CA: http://clikrf8.wordpress.com/2014/04/17/ NV/OR: http://clikrf8.wordpress.com/2014/04/19/ OR...

2008 Ford F250 Super Duty 4x4 Off road package 2013 Hallmark Ute loaded lightly as possible: 2 people + 1 60# dog, rarely used grey tank and black tank emptied when we can, fresh at about ⅔ full Mileage: between 10.6 and 11.0 depending on whether we are on paved road or off road, pulling...

We have several trips planned but can swing by on our way to or from. Mid-May to Mid-June: Monument Valley/Canyon de Chelly/AZ Strip/North Rim GC/Ruby Mts/Cedar Breaks/Southeast Utah, etc Early September-early October: Yellowstone/Tetons/Western Wyoming/Southern Idaho Mid October-mid-November...

We just arrived home from a 3 week journey about as far south as Bishop and far east as Battle Mountain, NV. Located way up in the PNW near the Canadian border takes us a bit longer than most in the west. So, we don't zoom but meander the backroads as there are many ways to get to the Southwest...

I am thinking that most if not all folks who follow WTW would honor the location judging from the posts. Any of you who have 4x4s with pop ups could make it as our lumbering beast did just fine. I am going to post some photos on my website today and perhaps some of you will recognize the area...

Count us in. We just returned form 3 weeks in WA/OR/CA/NV and plan another jaunt from mid May to mid June. Then we do local stuff during the week until after Labor Day. Steens, Black Rock, whatever.

We just returned from an isolated area in Nevada that was absolutely stunning. I believe it is state land as years ago there was talk about making it a state park. The scenery rivals anything in Death Valley or other state and national parks. You need to have 4x4 high clearance to get back in...

On the "itinerary" for April trip to Death Valley. Enjoyable TR as usual and as others said, it reinforced our intentions to visit.

I have never been there, either, but depending on weather and time, we may drive on the Saline Valley Road if this is the one near/in Death Valley. That's the one I have highlighted on the map. My feeling is that if it is already developed, then maintain that level. The problem is money or...

Wandering sagebrush: pm sent. Thanks for sharing your stunning photo and photo locations. Smoke: we won't be going as far east as Adel and Denio. We did travel 140 to Adel in September last year but will go that route on to Denio in May or June of this year. We didn't travel too far on the...

Depending on the weather, is 140 from Medford to Klamath Falls better than 58 from Eugene? We drove 140 last fall and it was a good road. 58 was also so which would be better for an early April trip? We decided on March 30 departure. Searching for nowhere: Thanks for the heads up on the caves...

Okay, after looking at the map again and factoring in that we love the Oregon Coast, we will head east from Florence on 126 to Eugene the 58 to 97. We have traveled 58 before from Oakridge down to 97 and it was somewhat steep (but what do you expect when you travel from mountains to the high...

I should be doing income taxes but this is more fun. Frustrating at times but anticipation is high. We will be driving from our home crossing from Whidbey Island to the Olympic Peninsula then down inland Highway 101 then coastal 101 to the Oregon Coast. It is preferable to running the I-5...

What a fun-loving creative bunch. I bring a small wood art easel/storage kit with paper/pens/pencils/watercolors for when I get a creative urge. We both bring our camera gear including tripods, wide lens selection, Mac, etc. We also pack along rockhounding stuff like picks, goggles and sturdy...

Boy, I live in a beautiful state. When I was younger, my family camped at the NF campgrounds along the Mt. Baker Hwy (542). It is funny that growing up your surroundings become commonplace and you become used to what others call a vacation destination. We have been so intent on visiting other...

This morning while shopping at our local Fred Meyer, there was a 2011 FWC Eagle on a quad cab Toyota parked next to us. Nice looking rig. WE had to get home or would have waiting to chat.

How cool. We love our dogs: chocolate Standard Poodle/German Shorthair cross and black Standard Poodle. They are each others best friend and ours, too. Craigslist finds. The poodle cross we take camping (and, he hogs his side down the middle and shares the back seat with the camera gear) and the...

Hey Ted, happy trails with your new Hawk. My best for continued happy camping.

Oh boy, I needed a laugh before bed. Somehow, it reminds me of the Oatmeal. I love this kind of humor whatever type it is.

Hmmm, I am wondering which photo you saw that shows me on a motorcycle. No, not me. Maybe on the back of one when I was younger. Hubby used to ride trailbikes but he was younger, too. Now, I am puzzled. After my sister's 3rd divorce, she bought a brand new turquoise Honda or similar and rode...
