As someone with an obvious interest in mining history, and a former exploration geologist and mine employee, I am opposed to the proposed Pebble Mine in Alaska. Sometimes you just have to decide that an area is more valuable for its ecosystem than for the minerals it contains. This is a great...

The back arrow on my browser takes me all the way back to the Oregon main page when I have drilled down to a campsite detail... what if I only wanted to go back one page and check out the next campsite... Other than that I like it. I will use it. After pondering this for a while I have...

It gets pretty icy where I live so I always sipe my tires. Seems to make a pretty big difference. IMO my BFG's have performed fine in snow and ice. However, performance in these kinds of conditions is probably subjective given that no tire is going to be perfect when its slick out.

Have you had them siped?

There don't appear to be any logs or the like to bury in the photos. Are you suggesting carrying a built ground anchor? I'd be interested in hearing about relatively lightweight designs for ground anchors. I seem to remember from somewhere (probably expo) that you can bury your spare tire and...

Lookin good Joe! Looking forward to hearing about the adventures you have in that thing :)

Guild of Butlers lol :rolleyes:

I've been having some pretty serious server troubles over the last week. I have some people looking into it but it's been a difficult nut to crack. I hope to have a resolution shortly. Sorry for the trouble!

I wish I could join you. The GF has a somewhat serious injury so I had to cancel my Big Bend trip and I'm on home duty for a while. Looking forward to hearing about the trip!

I appreciate your thoughts on the subject ktn.

I'd sure like to see some old mines in that area. Can't make it during that time frame though so I'll be counting on you to post a bunch of photos of the trip when you get back :D

I think I'm actually more disturbed that mike took this photo than that Silvertip wanted to see it :blink:

Yeah sirens all over this morning. The inevitable first snow driving chaos :blink:

I almost got into an accident in my F150 with camper as I was almost not able to stop fast enough in traffic entanglement. No such issues in my 250. If you plan on doing any off-roading at all its probably a good idea to upgrade the stock tires regardless of what type of truck you get. I went...

Ok I'll get mine in by the end of the week.

In my experience it takes me about 45 minutes to attach the jacks, raise the camper, and lower it on to supports. Leaving the jacks on your camper full time would cut that time in half but I don't recommend leaving them on.

I use the hand cranks on the jacks, not the fancy drill bit adapters. Those drill bit adapters are pretty simple and cheap. You must be a glutton for punishment :D

Great work Home Skillet! I love the driving videos.

Very cool sunny. I'm going to have to do some more research on these areas as I would really like to see this stuff! What times of year are best to go down there?

I imagine it was in the small print. Rebates are bunk.

I'll sign up! What do I do? For now keep taking those campground photos. I'll post updates here as I have them.

Pretty cool!

Not sure how you intend to do this but have a suggestion. Rather than paying people small amounts each time they add some photos, create an account for each contributor. Then allow that person to cash out their account when they are ready. Someone who infrequently supplies photos may decide to...

I don't care how much it costs, anything that I can get made in the USA, I buy it, rather than the imports. Last Xmas and again this year, all the gifts I give are USA made. Good for you. If we had a common sense trade policy, this dumping would never be tolerated anyway.

After a lot of delays and pauses to research various things, I can at least say we are getting close. Related announcement here: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/index.php?/topic/5315/
