What? You mean it's not October. maybe early November ? We were in a hot spell here-3 or4 days of above average temps in the high 80's, with high winds and red flag warnings, followed by several days below average day temps in the 50's, T-showers, wind and below freezing at night and snow in...

I have a 99 4x4 F-150 and a 05 Granby, I bought new and have been just about everywhere in most weather and road conditions over the last 15 years. Ya, like it has been said above, once you figure out how to tie down/rearrange the stuff inside the camper , the rest is no sweat. I mean didn't you...

Enjoy what ever you do next! When I start to hurt and wonder how long I can keep wandering around and enjoying this wonderful land of ours; I think of that old desert rat -Jack Longrtreet-who was still breaking wild horses up in the Nevada's Monitor Range when he died at 92 or so! Yes I know he...

What ever it is it sure is acting like a yo-yo here in the high desert! 80's-low 90's/40's at night during the week, then wind, rain/T-storms, and red flag weather with temps in the low 70's day/high 30's/50's at night. One day shorts and a T-shirt weather -next day, long pants and a...

Since I replaced my 3 way with a new (a few years ago that is) Dometic CR 110 compression frig/freezer, that old "T" gas valve connection was just perfect for me to hook up a 6 foot hose to my new Wave 6 Heater :rolleyes:! I got the idea here from Mark BC and some others and with some quick...

Dang, I was getting ready head up to the Modoc NF ( County/Fed CG's are open there now, some BLM here is open, Nevada and Oregon are locked up) at the end of the week and the Lassen County Health Dept.Web. site just announced its first 4 positive Covid 19 tests for locals on Tuesday and...

Yep, I know how that feels frank . I was talking to the guy I joined the Army with about what just seemed was just a few years ago about basic training at old Fort Ord and we discovered we are actually getting old. It seems that what seemed Just a few years ago was no matter how many times we...

2X Thanks Bob for the reminder! Smoke

Heading out-Anywhere, think I'll just point my rig north on 395N and hit the gas, but probably, the Modoc Plateau or the Sheldon/Steens area! Hey may see ya out there Steve B)! Smoke

FYI-Don't know if it's just because of what the co's are doing but, campgrounds on the Modoc NF(Modoc Co) are open and those on the Lassen NF(Lassen Co.) are closed. I haven't checked BLM here in California yet but I expect they too are following what the co's are doing-have not checked Nevada...

Interesting! Hey just give me my old dirty and marked up topo, compass and straight edge and I'm happy! These folks have found ways to make their adventuring safe and fun so let them do it! Things that depend on batteries scare me and while I do carry a garmin and a spot "2",I still try to do...

Me too! I need to go out and run some bleach through the system! Like everyone else here, been putting it off because I can't go anywhere! Smoke

Got that right! Let me add my name to above reasoning. Yes everyone has rights, but if your insisting on taking yours could lead to my death , then no! Wear a mask, avoid crowds, stay home and wait a while, the woods will still be there, hopefully, when this is over B) ! Smoke

Nothing wrong with a rant smlobx-it's good for the soul, especially now that you have joined us retired "folk." Staying home and not out camping like usual as things dry out is getting harder of late. I've been talking to several of my friends who are day fishing up in my usual camping areas...

There was a time when my answer to that question was easy---beer/vodka, cigarettes, water and enough gas for the truck to get me to the gas station! Twelve years ago my doctor made give up my cigarettes and I am glad,for that, however I still carry some vodka and some good beer-for snakebite or...

It must be time for my pre lunch nap <_< ! Smoke

B)! Smoke

That's me too! I carry both tow and jerk straps, have a handy man, good heavy duty jack and a come-a-long and all the usual things like shovels and the like. I should note that when I was with BLM, I did carry either a heavy duty chain or a very heavy tow rope, various sized boards and all the...

Welcome back! Smoke

Again, After back packing for 50 years, it sure is nice now to have hot water at the touch, but each to his own! Smoke

So Mark, it's great walking weather, since we can't go any where anyway- hey that's right ,not sure if you have met my new border collie yet, not like old Bob but she's learning-and a gem ! Overcast here, cool but not bad, chance of rain, what's new. Time to pull those hard copy maps out, and...

Getting real hard to stay home, pop-up is packed and ready to go, maps in the truck , but I'm 76, got malaria in the Army 50 years ago, and scared to take a chance of getting this stuff, so I use a mask, watch where I go and what I do, because I want to make 77 and make the next get together...

Okay cams, don't know how much this will help, but several years ago my issue 3-way ftig went completely out in my Granby while Wandering Sagebrush and me were up on the Sheldon NWR in Nevada.. I rushed back to Susanville and with the help of my local RV shop used that unplanned opportunity to...

Here is a thought Craig, since you are bouncing around that wide area, do something I have started and never finished -follow the Lewis and Clarke Trail-lot's of local, county, state and fed cg's ,things to do and things to see. There are lot's of books out there that describe the trip and...

I was talked into getting mine when I bought my 05 Granby in 05 and boy am I glad! If I remember right, it was the first one with 20/6 gal's. tanks. Maybe I'm getting old and lazy but washing dishes in hot water and occasional splash baths make life easier-and I enjoy my weekly shave. No more...
