Highway 317 heads up north through a picturesque canyon alongside the Union Pacific Railroad tracks. We stopped next to a railroad bridge built in 1901 still in use for lunch. Turkey was not on the menu but we still enjoyed one wandering through. More to follow

I've been itching to get away from SOCAL for the past couple of months. My initial plan was head towards the Eastern Sierras and the wife wanted to visit the Tahoe area. After reading a couple of blogs and since school just got out I decided to revisit the Great Basin region of Nevada and avoid...

My propane alarm goes off every week concurrently with the IOTA charge controller shifting from float (13.5 V) to bulk (14.5V). Irritating, Same alarm occurs when my solar charger shifts from float to bulk. I suspect that is the reason for many of our false alarms.

Bingo!

Firestone Airbags & E rated tires added. I'm a fanatic on maintenance, keep...

Ski. You missed the most important building near the ranger shack.

Ski3pin. Great report. That spot below Mt Jefferson looks familiar! I can confirm the elk in the meadow. Wasn't able to get pictures.

I have a 2013 Fleet with the inside shower. Use the inside shower daily. I sprayed the curtain with water repellent and put silicon in all the joints on the water pan. Some moisture still gets through but I wipe it up right after and to date it works great with no damage to cabinets. I like the...

Yes, the hordes where out this weekend. Left San Diego last Tuesday to explore Humboldt Toyiabe NF north of Tonopah. SKI3PIN's postings inspired me to check this area out and I was not disappointed. I spent 3 days in the area and plan to return in September to hike Arc Dome and the...

Happy to join up with WTWs in Eastern Oregon. Had planned to observe eclipse in Grose Ventre east of Tetons but read that Jackson Hole is expecting 50k+ people more than normal. Madness. According to several 2017 eclipse sites eastern Oregon is prime area for several reasons. Weather, remote...

Fallon Environmental Impact Statement www.frtceis.com. Don't always trust the press. I would like to add some additional perspective. I live in Southern California where the few remaining undeveloped coastal areas are military installations. Camp Pendleton, Seal Beach Wep Station (now...

As a Navy Vet I take your post as implying the "NAVY," not "navel," are not good stewards of our public land as misinformed. My experience and history show the NAVY spends a significant amount of $ on environmental protection versus the destructive practice of ranching or other development...

I think I was camped next to the same tree at Mono Lake Lighthawk! Below Mt Whitney. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West

MPPT controller mounted in cabinet right above battery storage area. Keeps it out the way and 8" from batteries. 2013 FWC Fleet with 200 watts of Renogy solar I used the plumbing holes for wiring. No need to create new ones. Heat dissipation from controller is required. I also like the easy...

Temps hit 90 late in the day and high 50s at night. Flies were a problem late in the afternoon. "Pit" facility was a "fly generator." Telescope Peak lived up to its name with the night sky. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescope_Peak For the 3 geezers in their late 50s the last 1000ft to...

What was I thinking? Heat, fires...Death Valley in June? Telescope Peak and Wildrose Peak have been on my bucket list for some time. I'd read SKI3PIN had camped at Mahogany Flats and hiked in the summer so, what the heck! Topped out with 114 while crossing Searless Valley on Trona Wildrose...

Just spent the last 3 nights at Mahogany Flats campground in Death Valley. Fridge set at 3.5. Temp stayed solid at 39 and ice cream and steaks rock solid frozen. 90 degrees at 8100 ft mid-day. 60s at night. First trip after installation of vent fan. Usually, ice cream gets soft and temp in...

Had the same problem occur. Driving across Nevada in 100+ heat I suspect made it loose and stretch. I removed the screw on the end and pulled it tight. Reset the screw. I also applied clear silicon to the strip to keep it in place. Sent from my iPad using Wander The West
