I couldn't really tell from the map on your link, but does Caples Creek run into, or out of, Caples Lake? I fished Caples Lake a couple of years ago and got skunked. In spite of not catching anything, it was a great day in a beautiful area. Nice to know that the skeeters are still out in force.

Here is my "Go To" assortment-o-light. There's only one light better than an old Dietz kerosene lantern to set near a hot spring at night and that's moonlight; The SureFire LED headlamp is bright enough to use as a landing light on a airplane and The little Black Diamond LED lantern will...

Love the flatbed!

Awesome, thanks Sent from my SM-G920V using Wander The West mobile app

Too bad about the fishing. Was that a beaver dam? From the photo it looks like it has an earthen base... Lassen still has a respectable amount of snow on her. Thanks for sharing.

I LOVE the fact that you found the metal frame in an alley. I'm no stranger to finding things and giving new life to them either. Along those lines, I hope you didn't throw grandad's jig saw away because there's a cheap fix for that stripped set screw. Go to Home Depot/Lowe's/Harbor Freight...

It looked like you managed to find a slice of shade for your campsite. Thanks for the photos and story. I've always just written off D.V. in the summer.

After my divorce 11 years ago, my ex-wife used to tell me "You just want to be the Groovy Dad." She was referring to the fact that I was always doing fun stuff with the kids and didn't seem to care about the not so fun stuff. Rather than get angry at her comments, I embraced the name and...

I've been considering a dual-sport for a while now, but I have a big yellow lab that I'm not going to leave behind when I get out camping. I know your dog is small, but what do you do with him when you venture out of camp on your bike? Do you tuck him in your jacket? I can't leave my buddy...

Glad they held your place in line. That's why ATC is known for their service.

In most of Nevada, we seem to be in that "black hole" that exists on every mobile providers coverage maps--I LOVE IT!!!

When I ordered my Bobcat, I opted for the clear slider, so I would imagine that ATC would sell them. I think I paid an extra $20 or so for it.

Well no matter what Squatch, at the end of the day, you're out there and that's what counts. After reading your thread, I have even fewer excuses to get on my bike now.

I'm going to definitely consider this one. It's almost a 12 hour drive for me from Reno, but I can make the road trip an adventure in itself. October sounds like a great time of year to visit that area.

A few years ago I had the worst mosquito experience of my life in Spring in the Hoover (Fremont Lake). It looked too cold on your trip to have skeeter problems though. I really like hearing the rain come down at night while I'm dry and warm in the camper. I'd much rather have Scrabble and...

Wow! Look at all of the green stuff. Here in NV the green is giving way to the brown as summer approaches. Love the shot of the sunset. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to some pics of the inside. Congrats on the new rig!

Those mushrooms look fantastic. Do you have a favorite dish in mind for them?

Great TR, as usual. I really like your addition of videos. Seeing what a small nuclear device did to the desert floor makes me wonder what kind of damage the undersea detonations did to the ocean and sea life. How destructive man can be... I too love GBNP and I wasn't expecting much before...

I've always wanted to try and get to Carson Hot springs, but I've heard conflicting stories of the access road being closed through the privately owned land. Can you tell me if you took the Leviathan Mine Road to get to the springs? Thanks for the TR.

I really enjoyed your trip report Hoyden. I always like to hear stories about how ones parents took them camping and such when they were young kids and that set the stage for a love outdoors for the rest of their lives. Old "Cactus Ed" would be proud...

I made a quick little campground trip to see a good friend off to Seattle. It's not much of an adventurous trip report, but I thought I'd share it anyway. LAKE VALLEY RESERVOIR/LODGEPOLE CAMPGROUND

Beautiful photographs as usual, but I especially love that Osprey with the trout--WOW! I also like how you "represent" with your big NM flag decal on your back door.

The rockets have a two stage parachute system that they said was fired at different altitudes. A small chute fires when it's at apogee and lets if fall relatively fast and as it gets closer to the ground, as second, larger chute deploys so you can track it down with your naked eye.

Thanks jeromehdmc. If you can improve upon the design, please post it!
