And a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you as well! Enjoy the caverns. Bob

The idea came off a Dirtbagdiaries.com podcast it goes something like: 1=North 2=South 3=East 4=West 5= Cross the nearest state border 6= Stay put/ explore the local area The one rule being no backtracking so if you go north one day you can't go south the next... You can set the actual...

Happy Holidays! Great photo!

Another set of paper maps worth looking at are the Trails Illustrated maps also available on Amazon and frequently available at BLM, FS and NP offices. They are more area specific and therefore generally at a better scale than many other maps but you need more of them but really can you have...

I'll trade you temperatures, high tomorrow is supposed to be 11 and that is warmer than earlier forecasts :D

Will do. The Cooper's have been great for me, also looking at the Kumho Venture AT51. Not sure how soon I'll pull the trigger, have a White Rim Trail and possible Tuweep trip coming up in the spring so might be nice to have them before that. Now back to the regularly scheduled thread...

Wallowa nailed it. E series for the extra sidewall strength/durability. Mine is a heavier load but I went from C to E and am very happy I did. Just getting ready to start shopping for the next set of tires as these (Cooper A/T3's) are getting close to 50,000 miles on them.

Cassoulet in the slow cooker is great to come back to after a day of skiing.

Happy trails to you and the pups!

About 60 +/- Not real good about keeping track of all the nights, especially the ones where I bug out after work and come back into town the next morning. Maybe that should be a resolution for next year but never been very good about making resolutions either :D

Thanks for the write up. Definitely need to get that way sometime.

25' Water hose, water bandit and a 4 way key for various spigots just in case. Never plugin to shore power but do carry a 25' extension cord for being able to plug in my camera and use the intervalometer if I so desire.

Great report. Enjoyed reading about some new places to visit.

Great report Mike.

Congrats on the new rig!

What about a couple dog runs like this? You can always attach one end to the jack brackets, about $40 on Amazon.

Great TR. Looking forward to the rest of the installments!

I've gone from a collapsible step to a e step step stool and now have scissor steps that attach below the door. Found the scissor steps on the local craigslist and picked up the bracket at a local RV supply store. There are still times I just step on the hitch and pull myself in. Part of it...

North Idaho has some places right off 90 at the border where you cross Lookout Pass. Not too hard to get far enough from the freeway to get a good nights sleep. If you want to drive a bit further then up along the Coeur d'Alene river there are some great camping spots and both the Pritchard...

I've seen snow in the Abajos into June, April would be hit or miss, all depends on what kind of year they have had for snow and the recent temps, no snow and freezing would be great as otherwise it could be a muddy mess up high.

Some poking around on the recreation.gov site for one of the sites in Loop D (Site 31) yielded this: has little shade. is for tents and small camping vehicles only. has a picnic table and a fire pit with a grill attached. You can have a maximum of THREE TENTS at this campsite. No recreational...

Thanks for the report. Really need to wander through that area one of these days. So many trips, so little time...

Thanks for posting. Was good to meet you at VotG. Hope to see you around Washington sometime.

One word, Jealous! Good luck on this new adventure it is going to be incredible! Now, about the DR...

Thanks for the report. One of these days I will get down there for an in depth trip along with exploring the Bruneau and Jarbridge drainages.
