I'm following you all now via your blog and I'm looking forward to seeing what's next and where you all decide to finally land and plant roots.

Beautiful. Is he a Brittany Spaniel? At any rate, I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot more of him to come in your beautiful photographs.

What serendipity that you happened to have a piece of Plexiglass on hand to fix the window. Looks like you all had an incredible trip.

IMPORTANT LITTLE TIDBIT OF INFORMATION: I just learned that the Tokina 11-16mm f 2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX will NOT auto-focus on most of the D-Series Nikons because this lens doesn't have a focus motor on it. The newer version of the lens, which is the Tokina 11-16mm f 2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II, has an...

I just learned that the Tokina 11-16mm f 2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX will NOT auto-focus on most of the D-Series Nikons because this lens doesn't have a focus motor on it. The newer version of the lens, which is the Tokina 11-16mm f 2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX II, has an auto focus motor built in and will work...

You don't have to go to the campground because there's always plenty of boondocking sites and they're closer to the hot springs than the campground. Also, if you want to stay at the campground for whatever reason, it does NOT have piped water any longer. The old guide books say that it does...

Hi PaulT, I've thought about an aluminum DO, but the few people I cook with are purists and they've shamed me out of even thinking about aluminum. What the hell, I might just have to chart my own course and try one out.

I hope you all have a great time. I wish like hell that I could join you all.

Nice trip Park. Alvord Hot Springs has been on my list of places to go for quite sometime, but like you said, the remoteness of the area has kept me putting it off. I read a thread a while back about a guy who got stuck in the mud near Alvord and I think he was there a couple of days digging...

I agree Seth. Dutch ovens are heavy and bulky and they detract from my overall enjoyment of being out and about and traveling light. There are, however, a couple of trips I take annually, where we all break out the DOs, but I've come to the conclusion that I don't need the Camp Maid system any...

I just spent two days west of Bridgeport, CA, at Buckeye Hot Springs and the aspens weren't all that spectacular. There were a few trees that were golden, but most were either still totally green or completely bare. You'll probably have better luck at higher elevations. I wish you the best...

I had planned to meet up with Hoyden at Buckeye Hot Springs as she passed through my neck of the woods during her month long camp/road trip through the west. Once we were all set up and visiting, the MuleHawks just happened to be in the area and were looking for a campsite nearby, so we all got...

Great news Sagebrush! They say waiting is half the fun, but I can't say I agree. Delivery day is FUN!! ATC will send you some "in progress" build photos if you ask them to. If they do, I hope you share them with us.

Holy $H*T! Thanks for posting!

Hey Craig333, can you actually weld something together from just a car battery? I'd love to see how that works and if does any damage to the battery, etc. I've been welding most of my life (stick, MIG, TIG, etc.) and I've never seen something like this before. Thanks for sharing!

Hi ntqsd, I had actually read that Nevada has the most hot springs of any state, with over 300 of them statewide. Here's the Reno Gazette Journal article I had read. A lot of Nevada's hot springs are too hot to soak in, but they were counted in the above-referenced article. I wonder if...

Very nice Ski! Now I'm really anxious for my lens to arrive.

That's a beautiful photo. I've noticed the great sun burst shots from this lens on Flickr. Sent from my SM-G920V using Wander The West mobile app

I am looking forward to it. I ordered a used one from Amazon, so I hope it's clean and clear. Ski, you shoot everything in RAW don't you? I never have because I didn't really understand RAW, but I've since read up on it, so I'm going to give it a try next time out. Bigger file size seems...

Thanks for forwarding these links to me. In all my research, I hadn't seen these sites. I ordered the Tokina 11-16mm on Monday--I hope it fits the bill.

Those ought to be enough to keep you clean for a while... I hope you were able to enjoy the scotch before getting the free piggy bank.

The Emerald Mile by: Kevin Fedarko If you like reading about the Colorado River and their epic whitewater, then this is a great book!

I LOVE this one!

Thanks guys, that's very good to know AND encouraging to see what this lens can actually do. I feel much better about laying out the $$ for this lens after hearing from experienced people like you. Thanks!
