I checked out the Flickr and the photos are awesome. I wonder how many of them were taken with a cropped sensor camera vs. a full frame?

I wonder if there was anyone in those privies?

I'M SO CONFUSED... I've been thinking about getting a wide angle lens for a while now, but the more I research them, the less I know and the more questions I have. Tokina 11-16mm DX I have a crop sensor Nikon and I really don't want to spend a lot on a full frame DSLR. I've also heard...

Looks great! Have you experimented with a removable panel that you can attach when the sun gets low? I thought about making such a panel, but then I scrapped my plans because I felt it would be complicating things. I just do like you do and move to the other side of the camper when the sun's low.

There are so many out here that it really would depend on which roads/route you're taking through the state. I'll send you a PM.

I too always look forward to your trip reports and incredible art work. Looks like your truck made it through the cobwebs just fine.

Spooky Meadow is a cool name. I'm curious, do you know how it came to be called that?

Wow, a lot to squeeze into 4 days. I'm sure you found a lot of places along the way that you want to go back to (I know I always do). I can only guess which one of you the cheese pizza was for...

I don't thinks it's all that common, but it could happen like this:

My only little tidbit of advice is relevant regardless of the length of trip, but I ALWAYS keep a roll or two of quarters in my center console for pay showers. I don't like campgrounds either, but you can always pop in to one just for a shower and nothing's worse than being dirty in front of a...

Congrats! Sent from my SM-G920V using Wander The West mobile app

I agree with 97grandby. The wind is really going to push you around with the high profile and in places like NV the wind can be quite dangerous. Here's a good Consumer Reports article on how even small roof racks can have a big effect on gas mileage. EXAMPLE: 2013 Honda Accord (4-cyl.)...

Wow, you've certainly been busy. Your photos are beautiful and I really like your map collection.

Let me know what you think... This seems to be a very innovative system for anyone who likes to use a Dutch Oven. I was really impressed when I first watched the short video and said to myself "Wow, I have to get one of these," but I've been trying to adhere to the philosophy of LESS =...

Beautiful country. It looks like you avoided getting rained on, which I hear is kind of rare in the Olympic NF.

Awesome find of the grotto in Part 2. I'm curious, did you see any recent footprints or evidence of visitors to that site or is it so well hidden that it doesn't see much foot traffic?

I'll give that a try for sure. I was at REI a few weeks ago and saw that the chair was listed on their display as available (I got a little excited), but when I asked an associate to order it for me he said it was no longer available. I didn't think to ask if any other store had it in their...

I have and really like my StrongBack chair, but this has become my favorite chair. It's light, comfortable and folds nice and flat, but wouldn't you know, REI discontinued them.

A couple of weeks ago, there were a few posts where meat bees were a problem (I was one of them). I got online and found this nifty little MEAT BEE TRAP that should be very easy to make/use while camping. I think I'll give it a try next time I'm in their area.

Ha Ha! I'm currently reading Blue Highways too. I only have a few pages to go and it'll be a book I know I'll re-read in the future. In fact, I liked it so much that I was able to find two other Heat-Moon books (Road to Quoz and River Horse) at a local used book store and picked them up for...

Nice job Bosque Bill. I thought about attaching my awning to the roof line as well, for the same reason you mentioned, but I found that the higher up I placed the awning, the less of a shade footprint I had below it. Since my awning is pretty small (just a military tarp), I get more shade the...

So you all found it! I can imagine how coming upon that site would be humbling. I don't think I'd have attempted that area on a Labor Day weekend, so I was glad to hear you all beat/avoided the crowds. Finally, your dad was a wise man with his advice on finding a girl who likes maps!!!

Ha! Fries with a side of Bison Burger--only in Idaho. Looks like a fun trip; thanks for sharing.

The Alabama Hills, CA, near Mt. Whitney (Labor Day weekend, 2016)

I spent 5 days / 4 nights of my Labor Day weekend visiting a few hot springs in the eastern Sierra Nevada and then had a blast in the Alabama Hills, which lie at the base of Mt. Whitney. Here's a link to my Blog Post and Trip Report: Eastern Sierra Hot Springs & Alabama Hills
