Some famous photographer once said "Anyone who spends more money on camera gear than film, is no photographer." It's not the gear (camper) that will fulfill you, it's the adventure/journey along the way that will. Get the nice flatbed if you want--you've earned it, just don't expect it to be...

I built my own because, at the time, FWC would not sell just the hinge. Luckily, a neighbor had a fold-over couch in his FWC and I was able to get the dimensions off of his hinge.

Here's where I carry most of my tools i.e. flat repair, screwdrivers, pliers, duct tape, etc. It works great, but you have to have the Jerry can mount on the back of your camper.

Aside from the noise, this is another reason I don't like campgrounds. It still looks like you managed to have a fun time though. On another note, Ted's beer from Heretic Brewing is one I'd definitely like to try. Jamil Zainasheff is the owner/brewer and he's an absolute genius in the beer...

Hi David, I live in Reno and there are tons of places to camp all around me, but it being so close to Tahoe, a lot of campgrounds are reserved months in advance. If you don't mind a 40 minute drive into Reno, there are a lot of campgrounds between Reno and Truckee and it's an easy drive...

Wow guys, what a nice trip. Hopefully, now that The Lady is retired, you'll be doing even more of these adventures. Thanks for sharing.

What are your thoughts on this little gadget I saw online today. It seems like it'd work very well and take up very little room. Here's their website: GEARIZM

Not just mice, you have to keep an eye out for PACK RATS too. A few months ago, while I was camping at Saline Valley Hot Springs, I was told that pack rats often get inside the engine compartment and can do a ton of damage. They told me to check carefully before leaving and numerous people...

that's awesome!

Good luck in finding your happy place. The humidity in your area is awful as are the bugs that thrive in that environment. You'll be able to "adult" better if you take the time you need, so enjoy it. There's plenty of time to work. Safe travels, GD

Moving again?

The scenery is nice around ABQ, but don't forget about the INCREDIBLE New Mexican food! Here's a few suggestions and you may even want to move to ABQ after eating there: - Sadie's - Duran's Central Pharmacy (lunch counter) - Garcia's - El Pinto - Barella's Coffee House (old school chile) - Los...

Nice rig--you'll enjoy it.

What a beautiful location and photographs. In my opinion, every trip is better when there's a wild hot spring thrown in. Thanks for sharing.

WOW! Very informative Trip Report and beautiful photography, as usual. Thanks for sharing.

Some friends and I made our annual trip to the Black Rock Rendezvous to enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend. It's always a blast and this year the weather was perfect! My trip report can be found on my blog The Aimless Roamer.

Thanks, that thread gave me a lot of other hints and ideas.

Why won't this work? I posted additional pics and details on my blog here: The Aimless Roamer After spending four days sweltering in Death/Saline Valley last month, I had to come up with a solution to keep the hot afternoon sun from bearing down on the off of the "canvas" and heating up...

Just a reminder for anyone looking for something fun to do over the memorial day weekend if you are close to northern Nevada.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I just saw your message. Daytime highs should be in the 80s and should be in the high 50s to low 60s overnight. It should be much cooler than it was last year

That is a nice, quick trip and those are always better than no trip at all. I can't think of two better people to get Cathy on the right track for her camping future.

Whatever you do, go to as many New Mexican restaurants as you can while you're there. I'm from NM and I miss the incredible food there more than anything else.
