That's great, Bill.

Riley looks like a keeper, for sure. Katie collie says "woof" to him.

Wow. Sounds like a major life change for you. My best wishes go to your nephew and all your family. I'm afraid I can't help much with towns close to Sacramento. I imagine this might be way too far away, but I always thought Dunsmuir might be a good place to live, if I had to move back to...

Great images, as usual. Love the reflections in the warm springs pool.

There is a real health concern regarding burning paraffin candles in a small space. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/08/090819153913.htm

Love the camouflage pic. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice sentiments, but I'm not sure our mountaineering friends would want the first line to come true ;) Happy New Year to all!

Very sorry to hear this. My condolences.

Here's hoping everyone on Wander the West has a wonderful holiday season and a great 2014.

Looks great. Congrats!

Congrats! Hope to see you out and about.

Thanks for the TR! Enjoyed it. Does your dog stay in his cozy nest all night long? My dog crawls out after a few hours and then gets cold.

Have just started "The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that Saved America" by Timothy Egan. I'm not too far in, but so far it is interesting reading. It centers around the Great Fire of 1910.

There are a couple of compressor threads on WTW, but a simple search only turned up this for me: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/7094-mv-50-compressor/ Maybe try an advanced search here.

Thank you! Yes, Happy Solstice!

Yesterday after posting, it would hang at "saving post", but when I reloaded the page, the post would be there. This is on Safari. Edit: Yep, still doing the same thing today.

For winter solstice we are having our first good snowfall of the season. Perfect! It won't be feet of snow (hardly ever is, here); probably six to ten inches, but it is very welcome.

Don't want to hijack this thread, but this kind of astro-sleuthing isn't that hard with the right tools. PM me if you want more info. "Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" :D :D Make it a duet with Mrs. Ted.

I have an old SPOT1 and it has never failed me when I send "I'm OK" messages to friends and family, except once when I tried sending from inside the camper with a sky partially blocked by trees to see if it would work. I have also seen where the tracking feature has missed a few points when...

Hey, Andy and Frank - if the date and time is correct in the picture info, that object is Beta1 Capricorni aka Dabih. It's a double star, but you only see the bright component in Andy's beautiful pic. Hope this helps satisfy your curiosity. Edit: It's a double star in binoculars, but actually...

Very cool - er- warm, well you know what I mean. That is one slick camper.

Get well soon, Bill!

"Pointless unpleasantness". That's a good one. I'll remember that. This kind of weather only lasts a few days on average in my neck of the woods, and is rare. The trees and shrubs sure are pretty afterward, though.

Interesting video. Thanks, Ski. Where I live, the terrain is more Nordic, not Alpine, so I don't often think about avalanches. It's good to be educated about this for when I travel to Colorado (or elsewhere) mountains. I'll follow this thread with interest.

It's ice fog. We get it rarely in the canyon bottoms here in the Sacramento Mts., but it's just called ice fog here.
