yes, wow indeed. neat to see the difference between satellites and shooting stars. thanks for posting!

yes, 3, 80 degree plus,days in Seattle for another record. Feels like the super warm summer we had last year. And of course I am working up in the "attic" of Boeings new building-5ht largest in the world. Love it, getting me ready for some warm desert temps this fall!!

Exactly what I was going to recommend Ski. Wonder full book. And of course Ed Abbey has a discourse on it. And wanted to be "buried "there. I am up for a winter trip there. By gosh, If i "have " to work all spring and summer, and miss Carrizo, I am going to be traveling this fall and winter down...

Unfortunately its time I bow out. Started a new job 2 months ago, working a lot of time and a long commute. In some ways was hoping to finish it up by now, and get to come down. But going well and have a few more months to go. Thanks for all the ground work. Have a great time, see lots, laugh...

Great to hear. We even have some in the neighbor hood here that are marking utilities and such. Have added a roll of duct tape on my walks. And when come across, simply tape the top. Wont last forever, but makes do in the meantime

Congrats. Exiting stuff!, Me too. Just got the call this morn. Driving over to Yakima on Thursday to pick up the Northstar. Good timing, just finished the tie downs.

Big Bummer Nathanael. With all the work You put in to buy the rig, and then build Up. Just like stealing a mans horse a 100 years ago. Should still be the same consequences for the thief! I was going to pull the fuses to the fuel pump etc, when out for a time, but need to figure out a quicker...

Ye Haw. Lookin to be a sho nuff rendezvous!! I'll do a rain dance so the flowers have a chance to show their stuff

Same Here...Been so busy reading all i can. And installing side rail steps and getting used to the new truck. Still have front hitch and camper tie downs to go. And back seat storage, and ,,,Figure it will take at least a week to figure out the solar set up and what else needed to go with that...

Hope you feel better tuff guy. Hard to not have full fledged geezer status, and have to go back to work. Know the feeling!

Yes congrats Mr Sage. I have always ate fairly well and no weight problems. My biggie is cutting out sugar. Don't drink soda or any of that. Just ice cream, chocolate and cookies,pastries. Would like to drop all sugar for 6 months, to see if that helps with aches and pains. But so far the...

Yes, thanks for all the good info coulter 6. Like the idea of the rear hitch gate. Maybe I can incorporate a step into a set up like that. I talked to Bill a few times when shopping for my (to be) n.star 850. Yes, quite helpful, as you should be able to expect a sales manager to be. Still...

Thanks Tuff Guy. Looking forward to April there.

I like the oil filled heaters when have shore power. We keep one running in the back bathroom at home during the winter. I have used them in my van with shore power and works well. With the aforementioned caveat of being big and bulky. Also mine does not have a thermostat, so frequently wake...

P.s. We should do a n.w. Rally.

On my calendar also. Clikfr8,it would be tough to avoid major metros going down i-5. And 395 would take a while. I hear you though. We don't even care to come up to bham much any more it's gotten so busy. Heck even Anacortes is a bit too busy for me in the summers now.

Wow. Thanks all. So many options. Was just beginning to explore " maps on the iPad". Have always been happy and successful with Delorme and or Benchmark map books( have them for all the western states) and the requisite Blm or national forest map.

Would be fun to see again after 12 or 15 yrs? Was thinking of heading to Az. to see the spring bloom in the same time frame. Only 15 hrs away. Would be great to meet some of y'all, and will sure have a lot of questions on the northsatars maiden voyage! Count me as highly likely.

Cute. Thanks for posting

Yes squeaks are a mandatory stop. I was thinking reflextix also, with some hard 3/8 thick insul board, cut and giued in place. Nice big storage space now. And the seat must have weighed a hundred pounds.

Wonderful story Smoke. Something I would love to see. I have Mostly sea kayaked in Wa, B.C, and Alaska for fun, the last 8 yrs. Have seen Orcas from tour boats, from shore while packing up, but only briefly at a distance, from our kayaks. Wonderful to see grey, minke and humpbacks from the boats...

Yes Phil the prep is fun. Enjoying all the research i feel is needed for a new truck and camper. And like you say, getting the truck ready. So much stuff! What are you going to use the front hitch for? For your "exploration vehicle"?. I ordered a double motor cycle rack and hitch yesterday to...

Nice in depth look at the movement Iowa. Good info, thanks. I will have to look up what torq lift recommends for pressure on the turnbuckles. Allanb

human skulls in a cave on the British Columbia coast. Startling and neat to find. But took no pictures and of course did not disturb. Nothing else in cave but a ceder "plank" or dish about 12"x18" and slightly dished out. So probably native. My first thought was ship wreck, but Alas ,no gold...
