We must have just missed you as we were there 10-19 and 20. Rained out at Succor Creek. I believe we have met you at the BLM/CCC Campground near Hart Mountain. We were the retired couple with the Hallmark. I enjoyed reading parts of your journal and agree about the cubicle constraints. That is...

Yes, we were caught at Succor Creek Campground by rain mid October. Beautiful evening; rainy night. We left due to camping by a creek in a canyon and miles of potentially gumbo road before 93 or is it 95? It is a gorgeous area for sure. And, the hot springs is a great place to camp but not on...

Funny, we were at Twin Harbors about 3 weeks ago. We tried Grayland, but it was full of Class A and B monsters. Twin Harbors had a place for RVs with hook ups but we don’t use them. We wandered over to the ocean side where there were mainly tent sites. No one there and probably 50+ (?) sites. We...

We find a spot, park, hubby sets up while I walk the pups to the pay station. Sometimes, I get lost on the return trip. Or, I forget the site number.

We do the same thing: photograph receipt attached to campsite post. I always put it in a small baggy to protect against rain. We also use a very small orange cone to place at our campsite. We put it the bathroom when not in use. I can’t imagine why people steal things like chairs and levelers...

That is a well-crafted and thought out camper combo. It has all my wants checked off. I love the recessed hardware, that simple and functional jack bumper, the Pass-thru, side door, etc. I would buy it. I wonder if it is a one-off? Lots of interest here. I believe they have a winner.

I was not offended by your photos and I am a vegetarian. You harvested cleanly and will consume the meat. This is much better than eating packaged meat from the store. Also, sportsmen's tags pay a good share of the funds that support our public lands not to mention their vocal support. I grew up...

A great choice.

Good for you! My husband was banished to the garage after we found out I was pregnant. He quit after about 3 years only to fall off after losing his job. He subsequently quit again for good. Having a child is an incentive. He also quit drinking after 3 DUIs 35 years ago before we were married...

I am glad you all had enjoyable journeys and succeeded in attaining personal goals. 2016 saw us stay closer to home by visiting only 5 states in the NW: WA, OR, ID, CA, MT. But, we did see some new places. We are sad about missing the Utah get-together but perhaps this year it will happen...

Now, we fill up when half full cause we always have to explore where every road goes, especially those backroads N and S between 6 and 50 in Nevada and the ones E and W through the mountains. Whew, yeah, just made it. There were few places to pull over, too, especially on the last curvy part...

Caught up on this topic. And, to add my stupid error. We had just left our Boondock Spot just east of Tonopah, NV heading east toward Ely. We decided we had enough fuel plus a bit to explore. We went up one of those canyons to look for our fave wild horse herd. We drove for longer than we...

Oops, missed this one. January: 2 birthday in North Cascades N P February: 9 Oregon/Washington coast April: 20 Oregon/Washington/California May:11 Eastern Washington July: 4 Rockfest August:6 Blues festival and Whidbey Island September-October: 28 Washington/Idaho/Oregon...

The NatGeo Trails Illustrated maps are also available for download on the Avenza app. They are gps enabled. BLM in Urah is currently updating their maps for BLM land for each office. These are free from the individual website. Also, ODOT has more detailed maps of Oregon counties for download on...

We stayed overnight in several during off season (fall and spring) in Oregon. Sometimes they are open and sometimes not. Free with vault toilets. Pack it in, pack it out. One on 395 southbound was open; one on 20/126 wasn't but in a more popular area. Another idea for off season camping.

Thanks ski3pin. I am thinking they were a limited production item that didn't sell well. I was thinking maybe used but if there were only a few sold.....

Aha, found it in the thread that Old Crow posted about models. It is or was called the "Cajita". Anyone have any info? Thank-you. I will do a Google search.

I would have done a search but couldn't remember the name of the model. I know it was short-lived and was designed for folks with low garages. Does anyone know anything about them? We had a FWC Eagle on our 1999 Tacoma but was too small for us, dogs and uncomfortable for hubby. Also, weight was...

We would be interested depending on time and place. It does get warm in that time frame in the desert unless we hit higher altitudes. I like the Hart Mt. area, also, Alvord, Steens Mt. and that entire Upper Basin area. Black Rock? Eastern Sierra?

Always enjoy your TRs. We also love the solitude of Nevada. We are rockhounders, photographers and explorers. We also are history nerds who stop at all the historical markers. You could spend a long time in Nevada and still not visit all this state has to offer. Nothing to see in Reno or LV...

Wonderful memories of your explorations. I too was blessed with the ability to draw. Musucal ability, otoh, is woefully lacking. Your watercolors have inspired me to buy a small colored pencil set with tablet in a case. I have tons of drawing equipment at home but too much to carry so a small...

Oh, yes, the Owyhees. We have only been there once but will return soon. Maybe next fall? I, too feel the great sadness at pioneer cemeteries. We have even camped near two in Nevada. Our pioneer ancestors were a very hardy bunch, especially those who mined and ranched. I really enjoyed this trip...

Ooopps, we didn't have great cell signals so didn't return to this site until after we returned. Plus, we have a new plan and only 2 gb of data to share among 3 devices. But, I have noted your ideas and will incorporate on future trip. Yep, we got the rain which made exploring problematic...

Well, here we sit, still trying to decide where to travel for about 2-3 weeks after having to forego Utah. This is what as have planned for the next few days: Baker Lake area off Hwy 20 to rockhound, Frenchman's Coulee for photography, Channeled Scablands, Columbia River around Tri-Cities...

If you stop by and say you are a WTW member then of course you can camp for free. Otherwise we charge $5 for a place to park with a picnic table and access to 3000 acres of trails.
