Dang! I didn't know about these. I ordered a set of ActionTrax recovery boards a couple of days ago after momentarily getting stuck in the mud in a turnout on Coalinga Rd last week during the hard rain. Had I been aware of the Gotreads, and that you could use them for leveling too, I would have...

I think you are probably right Kolockum, it's time for me to rethink my approach. My rolling lift table supports most of the weight once the camper is on it, but I can't get it far enough under to take all of the weight off of the front jacks, so they are still seeing some stress as I move it...

Not what I wanted to hear but exactly the sort of thing I needed to hear! Thanks sagebrush!

Yeah, I think the casters are the weak link too but it sure makes things easier, I just don't how much risk they add. If I heard a few horror stories I might be better able to judge. The lift table has a half ton capacity and has caster wheels of it's own. Once it's on the table it's easy to...

I ask this in hopes of not having a "done something really stupid" story to submit. I've search the forums looking for instances where a camper jack collapsed, and why, so that I may avoid it happening to me, but I haven't found any horror stories, and I worry. I have a large level, flat and...

easy bike mount with no drilling.

It is a rough ride in, and fording the river to the hot springs should obviously only be done when the water level is low, but I've heard the fishing is great!

Camped two nights on the East Fork of the Carson river last week, one night at the hot springs and one night further down river. I won't bother with pictures considering the wind had shifted the day I went and blew a lot of wild fire smoke over the Sierra and into Nevada. The aspens on the...

Or maybe east to Three Forks? Another location on the Oregon Military Wagon Road where the original stone works are still visible. It's scenic, and WAY out of the way.

Great fun trying to trace your route on the map just based on your descriptions, and you completely lost me after leaving Hole in the Ground, but I assumed you were being especially coy to protect the locations of the petroglyphs, however when you mentioned milkshakes I knew where you were...

Mystery solved, Thanks Ski!

Your trip reports are great, and have occasionally turned into my trip planning, plus I always get hours of fun trying to tease out your route on Google maps. This trip is no exception, I've found the stone corral and what I believe is the spot where the Old Stone Bridge crossed the Narrows...

I did sort of the motorcycle equivalent back in the day, a little under 500 miles from Half Moon Bay to a tiny town called Orovada in northern Nevada on a '79 Harley Low Rider with no windshield or helmet. I was headed home to Idaho after a month of wandering around Utah, Arizona and southern...
