Camper 357: I will pass this on to my husband. Bnf3: street photography can be fun. Of course you probably heard of that nanny who shot all those street scenes who unfortunately didn't get the limelight before she passed on. I am thinking that she would have shied away from the publicity...

Bad habit: for the scissor stairs, my husband drilled two holes on the opposite sides of the holder that attaches to the step platform. Then, he found two lynch pins (I think that is what they are called, sort of like fat bobby pins.). You just line up the holes and push through. I almost took a...

Here is am update after two plus years "Wandering the West". 2008 Ford F250 Superduty XLT: Last spring we bought a Ranch Hand replacement bumper winch ready ($$$) because of all the idiot drivers who pull out in front of us or make a left hand turn at the last minute. The sight of our rig has...

Oh my, I use a lot of them on my ipad: topo maps: Gaia, You Need a Map, Maplets, Scenic Map west, Scenic Map Grand Canyon, Avenza topo maps: Google, Maps (Apple), Google earth, Public Lands, Benchmark (Oregon, California, New Mexico) photography: Photographers' Ephemeris, Stand Here skies...

Foy, I have the state geology series of book in my saved for later list on Amazon. Do you recommend them? We don't travel the interstates much but do travel the old US and state highways some to get us where we need to to go to jump off on the back roads and county roads. We have the Benchmark...

to ski and the Lady: I really enjoy your outings to my favorite state Nevada. We plan on traveling through that area again this Spring on the way to San Rafael Swell and GSENM. We have driven by Fort Curchill State Park before several times but usuall stay at Lake Walker. We will have to stop...

Agree 100% with your sentiments. In our state we have plenty of casinos. The parking lots aren't empty so that means more outdoors for you and me. They can have their mind-numbing slot machines, expensive drinks and smoky atmosphere. The saddest thing I ever saw (went to a concert at one) was...

Which on board air model/manufacturer would you recommend? On our list for the year plus a winch. We have the Ranch Hand front replacement bumper that has a mount. Thank-you and happy trails and New Year.

Photography equipment has always had sticker shock impact on me and still does. Should have taken up knitting. Also, beef but doesn't affect me as I am a vegetarian. Organic is still way too much money. Housing in this area compared to places we have traveled. Neighbor has his 5 acres plus home...

I enjoying both truck campering and photography. I have been a photographer for some time, mostly self-taught, but could always use a new perspective or trick. I mainly shoot landscapes and concerts but have done a few weddings, band and portrait sessions, and macro. I know quite a few places to...

Slogging through my blog, I just finished part 2 of 5 (?). Now I need to decide if I want to upgrade for $100 at Wordpress as I am almost to my free limit of 3 gb of data. You can find Part 2 HERE

Very beautiful area that you described well with words and photos. It is already on our list for Fall 2015.

TR marathon while the PNW weather is drizzly and cold. BLOG

Thank-you for sharing your explorations, We definitely couldn't climb to that obscure ruin so glad you could. Its inaccessability is what has saved it from vandalism. These sites are sacred and should be left alone. We were in that area toward the end of October. It is so beautiful in Southeast...

Whew, finished the last part of four TRs. Part 4 I am taking a small break then will resume my narrative of our Southwest trip during October/November where I we met some WtW folks.

can be found HERE

I almost flew there about 10 years ago from Cancun but had our daughter with us and I was much more law abiding back then. Looking forward to the narrative and photos.

This is fun reliving our adventures. I want to go someplace now. LINK

Craig, I have tried to build a Google map but had trouble trying to map our often off road travel. Do you know of a better way to map our travels? i would love to have an iPhone app that would keep a running tab on our route and the ability to add photos and comments. I will give it another try...

I am finally beginning to document our last 2 trips wandering the west. I mean, we really wander. Hopefully, our travels may encourage you to get out and check out where we have been. Our September trip found me a bit lazy and hazy on details as I did not write notes except for scrawls in the...

We returned just a bit over 3 weeks ago from 2 back to back trips of 3 and 4 weeks. Since then, I have had dreams aboutboon docking in the desert and exploring technicolor canyons. I want out of this cold wet dreary state. Truck just got an oil change, front brake pads replaced and 2 new...

Retired early at 60: hubby laid off and I quit my PT job due to unstable boss. At the time it was scary, especially in 2008. However, one door closes and another opens so fate was kind. 2014: total 103 days * fuel: $$$$ * food: about as home as we cook on board * camping: around $300 more or...

We want to thank all those who organized the meetup and who came. It was great to match up faces and forum names. Great pork feed for hubby cooked by XP Camper folks and wonderful onion soup by Marty and other great veggy entrees by Ted and others for me. I got the last sliver of Mark's walnut...

We spoke with a ranger at Lewis Lake campground in Yellowstone. He said that in the campgrounds as long as you were outside with food it was fine eecially making noise. If you were in the camper preparing food, you were fine. Or, at night as you were sleeping inside the camper with food. The...

Currently camped at the rest stop in Summer Lake, Oregon. We hope to to be there Saturday am. Still not sure what to bring. Honeycrisp apples are definitely not on par with walnut pies or roast pig. Should we stop in Susanville for something? Chips? Dip? Pop? We aren't drinkers but don't mind...
