I agree with the earlier post, if I'd take my truck there before I'll take it there now. Just make sure everything is well secured.

I would do an October trip in a heartbeat, early to mid month if possible. We did 4 nights and I'd like to take 4-5 nights and do the trip again sometime, beautiful scenery and not terribly difficult.

Little bit of bleach, doesn't take much, I want to say a couple tablespoons is the recommended amount for 20 gallons of water. I usually add about 1/4 cup and let it sit in there for a couple days while I drive around town so it sloshes around then flush it really well, about two fills and...

Used to carry a chain and a strap in a jeep. The last use the chain was put to was skidding a section of log to where we needed it. Have no idea where the chain is now, probably in my ex's garage. Use a strap for everything now.

The two biggest limiting factors for me are time and water. I still work so getting large blocks of time away can be tough. Water is pretty self evident, 20 gallon tank. All that being said I've stayed out for 9 nights/days solo and still had water in the tank but have run perilously close to...

Really enjoyed Gila NF north of Silver City last fall, it was 7500'+ if memory serves. Went to Bosque del Apache in January for a few days and it was spectacular as well. Want to spend lots more time exploring the state. There was a trailer in Silver City that had great breakfast burritos...

No hot water heater in the Grandby and pretty content. Like others I heat water on the stovetop for dishes. Showers are of the solar variety or baby wipes, occasionally I'll grab a state park CG where there are showers if I'm feeling really crusty.

Depends on what you want to do as you travel the route. If you want to add some side excursions like the Magruder Corridor or Lolo Motorway to the north in the higher elevations then you'll want to hit those areas in mid-late June at the earliest most years so you could start earlier at Astoria...

Appreciate the extra installation instructions. My old, cheap pop-up tent has seen its final days and the new one from Zero declination arrived with the kit but without instructions yesterday, just sent them a message but haven't heard back as I'm hoping to get it mounted this weekend. I'll...

I had contacted SmugMug support at one point to ask about RAW file storage as Google searches indicated it was available at one time for an additional fee but they've discontinued it. The unlimited RAW storage with Amazon Prime works for backups but can't be used for commercial uses just backups.

You don't have to, you can configure the Amazon Photos app to watch any folders including your My Pictures on a Windows machine or another, I just have it setup that way to handle the volume of photos and to be able to access photos from multiple computers in the house.

In a nutshell I only shoot RAW photos and download all of them to a NAS device that is being watched by Amazon photos. Whenever I add a new folder or photos to the watched directory on the NAS drive it uploads them to Amazon and maintains the directory sturcture, I try to name my directories...

I use prime storage, mostly as a cloud storage for my RAW (NEF) files. I have a SmugMug account that allows unlimited .JPG storage. The Amazon storage seems to work fine and I have it set to automatically backup the folders wherwe I download my cards to so there isn't really any thought...

It's been a crazy few weeks, lots of rain in the SW, I agree with you that the WRT should be CW only, every climb or decent made me nervous, I'm sure the outfitters want to maintain both directions for bike tours as it lets them use a single vehicle/trip for drop off of one trip and pickup of...

I'm not sure it's possible to have too large a fidge in the camper. I replaced my original 3-way with the Isotherm 65 and it is frequently stuffed on a weekend trip with two people and we replenish the beer as we drink it. One of these days I'll probably modify things and put in a 130L but...

2/22/2020 in the AM. Spotted a white Tacoma with a Fleet and AZ plate at the Costco at Baseline and Country Club in Mesa (Gilbert?, never sure where the borders are).

Thanks for the report! I've enjoyed my trips to KofA and you've given me a couple new places to check out.

Wow! Those are absolutely stunning stunning!

Interesting that it showed me just outside St. Louis, MO at one point but I've never been to the state. Turns out a company that I used to be at on a regular basis for a server colo facility now has a presence there.

Bosque del Apache 1-7-2020

Madera Canyon south of Tuscon is a good spot for birding. I like KofA for exploring.

I'm starting a new job January 13th so in all likelihood am out of the rotation this time around. Hopefully another opportunity will come up sometime down the line. Bob

Went last year for one day and that was enough for me to see what I wanted to. Many people camp onsite all weekend and FWC has a space available for owners but there are lots of people and I prefer my camping less crowded.

Thanks for the report. One of these days I need to get back that way, Usal Beach has been a goal for a long time that I've never made it to.

Probably my lowest total since owning my FWC, only 26. I suspect next year is going to be another low total as I start a new job January 13th. Maybe I'll get a good trip in between now and then,
