I got face book when it first came on and I look at it carefully off and on to keep informed of old friends, and what's happening locally. I rarely use it to "talk" to others on it. Like most of us here WTW is my main social networking but since Covid-19 and all the all the local weather...

Wish it would hurry up here!!! lot's of places in the valley that don't get allot of sun still got snow-but at least now I can find a patch of sun to sit and bask in :wub:! Mountains still got snow and that big round wonderful bright white full moon sure lights up the place at night, yep must...

Boy over the last few years I've see those rigs all over the place-even in a few undeveloped cg's-I see now why! Living the high life now-and I''m envious ! Wonder how they would work in the back country? Hope you guys have many years of adventures. Smoke

I should have prefaced my comment with the following: when I an dry camping in the back country and not in so-called "civilized campgrounds", I usually mark my camp boundary by---! Where and when I learned to do this I don't remember (family-boy scouts??) but I have done it since I was a...

Then there are those of us who , rightly or wrongly, mark the our own camp boundaries with a combination of our own and our dogs pee <_< ! Smoke

Yep during certain fire restrictions in Calif even in campgrounds only propane stoves are allowed, but no charcoal grills. If you are coming California, check the CDF fire web site or the local BLM/USFS office for local fire restrictions and get a free campfire permit-ya have to take a test...

my last three dogs have been a, aus shep/lab mix, border collie/lab mix , and a very very active border collie and aust/cattle dog mix-so that makes me herder man (2 strays, one pup). All the dogs were/are smart, friendly, trust worthy field dogs and I forgot to mention in my first post...

#1 to me is that your dog responds to any voice command that you give "Now", not after another sniff or what ever but now! I was lucky when I worked for the BLM because they let us bring our dogs to the field with us as long as they were trained on basic field commands, were friendly and had an...

It was on Reno TV here this weekend. Yep-It would have been allot worse if that off duty sheriff would have been out there! How many times have we said " Hey-know about where you are going ---before you go and be prepared". This high desert area can been bad-in fact we had a whole thread about...

nothing wrong about that-could be allot worse places to go :D! Smoke

Ted and the rest of the"Wild Bunch"!! Hey-what's a few bombs when you are having fun, right Ted? Another new camper? How come we got our first ones around the same time and you are on-- is it #3 now and I'm still on my first old beat up Granby-dang rich valley people. Maybe dodging to many...

Rain has replaced the cold and snow and sort of warm here with to much mud out there to go play! Snow pack still low for this time of year-but supposed to snow in the high country. . Smoke

I liked that! Great to see a NP with lots of wide open spaces, no people and no generators (mostly). Thanks for taking us along. Smoke

Well gang, I just got my 2nd Moderna Covid-19 and final Vaccine injection yesterday! The process worked. I got on list last month and got # 1 shot\ for those over 75 (cat. 1b/c) who wanted one. The 1st cat (1a). for 1st responders and those in rest homes , completed here. Got my follow up...

For years the feds have talked about issuing a recreational type use type permit for a modest fee (similar to our beloved "gezzer permits ") that allows you to use Public Land and I would have no problem with that! Fishing and hunting permits are issued by the individual states because they...

t Enjoyed that! Ya know visiting and exploring old historic sites, especially old homesteads, is both fun and sad at the same time; I always stop and think about what brought those folks here and what dreams for the future they had! Speaking of the "asses" I remember a family of those critters...

I even just donated to the fund. Might even take a drive out that way when the weather heats up. #45 did this type of thing allot in the last few days and especially liked to rewrite the rules and bury true believers deep in the system! It will take time to find them all. Smoke

Yep, another 10 ply E rated M/S here. I always use Big O tires like my Dad did , but lot's of choices to pick from B)! Smoke

Got my first a couple of weeks ago and have a appointment for #2, in the 2nd week of Feb. If I have a bitch about the process. it was (1) figuring out who you had to call to find out to find out the hows, who's and whens of getting the vaccine and (2) having to stand outside the Public Heath...

Yep-sure looks like a Russian Olive ! Smoke

Here in ne calif, weather seems to bounce from clear and way colder than usual to above ave. temps, with periods of rain, rain snow mix ,then snow, then repeat :wacko:! The sky cleared the other night and I got to see the big astronomical event in the nw sky-now that was neat! Had a dust of...

Okay, lets add some positive news here! Just got an Email from the "Friends of the Nevada Wilderness" that the proposed expansion of both Fallon NAS into public lands to the east and Nellis AFB into the Desert Big Horn NWR has been eliminated from the 2021 NDAA (defense bill) for at least the...

Great adventure and birthday trip! Yep, murder, snow, wild beast tracks and hot springs-now that's good planning for any b-day trip Thanks for taking us along! Smoke

Just got off the phone (as we do every Veterans Day) with the guy I joined the Army with -talked how next month it will be 57 years ago (getting old) that we were running around the sand dunes in good old A53 (pride of the infantry) at Fort Ord, California. I'm never sure of how as a vet to...

Before you leave, drop a post here for a road and weather check for Susanville/395 and points south! By the way, Nevada has a new State Park on the East Walker River-been there-sort of nice place to stop for the night, Smoke
