Yep-Time again to remember those of us who didn't come home or are in a VA hospital somewhere! Smoke

Another great adventure guys, enjoyed your trip---love those aspens :wub:!!! We lost power over here too ( and we were not supposed to either)---as sort of an indirect reason, all the shut offs in Ca caused our PG&E line up the Feather River Canyon to blow somewhere that Sunday night and we...

:) X3-love my old Spot 2 Smoke

We spend allot time on this site discussing how to survive out there in the boonies (or anywhere for that matter): what to do and not do, what is the best gear, truck tires, etc, all the things to have a good time and not kill yourself or someone else. Yet, there is always that unknown out...

My old 99 F-150 4x4 has been hauling around a 05 Granby full time since 05 B) After years of blown shocks and trying out different heavy duty reinforced springs, my local ford dealer sent me to a local blacksmith shop that specialized in up grading 1/2 ton into 3/4 ton pu's; they installed a...

Happy sailing Mark! Deep dark swamps, hmmm., all that high desert desert training any help out there <_< ? Hey--- If you see any water buffalo better turn around fast! Smoke

So what's new guys? This is how things works these days, management by the one percent, and I fear it will only get worse. I just started that new revolutionary war trilogy by Rick Atkinson with book 1, "The British Are Coming." Why did I bring this up in this up in this thread-what was one of...

I've has 3 AAA for years and have used it several times with no problems and good results; however everything was on paved roads. The thing about not being able to use on dirt/gravel roads has always been a bummer, but I guess that's why we always need to carry all that tire repair gear and...

Boy, sure wish I was there with you. I had hoped to be near there (Sheldon NWR) , but things happened last month and I had to change my plans. So I guess I get to look at your neat photos and story lines instead, so thanks for taking me along :rolleyes:! Smoke

Wish I was there too! And from GBNP to Yosemite (and you get to get there by driving across Nevada -let the adventures continue!). Smoke

Rain here, new snow on Diamond Mountain just to the south of here (FYI-DM marks the end of the Sierra's) and clouds are blocking my view to the north and the start of the Modoc Plateau and Cascade Mtn range. . They say it is supposed to get into the high 70's 0r 80's this weekend! Smoke

3x that :rolleyes: ! Smoke

Let me add to the recommendation(s) of the Steens area-make sure to keep abreast of weather conditions. The Sheldon NWR is just south of there and Virgin Spring CG is usually a good stop for water and a soak in the hot springs. Smoke

Yep-got my furnace on too Mark-had to run around shutting all the windows on top of that. From high 80's one day to 30/40's at night with T-storms and lots of wind. We had snow in the high country and ICE on my street the other day. Another storm and cold front due in on Thursday , then getting...

Boy, since I first added my 2 cents worth early in this thread, lot's of thoughtful and experienced drivers have also added their 2 cents worth. Okay, and while I still stick by my "every one has different levels of experience in different rigs in different environments that call for different...

Boy guys, you guys are sure proving "retirement is hell". I mean how can you stand all that fun and adventure-don't you miss working just a tad? Just kidding B) ! Can't wait for your next adventure(s) and thanks for taking us along! Smoke

Lot's of smoke here in the Honey Lake Valley; they held meetings today in Janesville on fire progress. I had planned to be camping right now but fires everywhere and with especially the Walker fire down the road (that along with wind, smoke, lightning and T-storms) have kept me close to home...

Yep Bill, another great report! Thanks for taking us along (even tried to use your neat tools-fun). Smoke

Always nice to see another part of this beautiful country of ours-thanks for taking us along! Smoke

Storm cells to south.

Timber resting!

fog over res in morning:temp was 38-real low for August!

T-storms as cold front is moves in? Had to use heater that night!

I say the same thing too Mark, "get one or a swamp cooler. but never do." Something about feeling closed in when you use those things, since I always have the windows and doors open anyway (even have the front storm door open in the winter-again need to see outside and be able to watch the snow...

Wow, you made it out okay, and getting ready for more adventurers! Never a boring moment when you own a pop-up camper! Smoke
