I've heard that one for years; but " You asked for it " just added another fable to the "dustbin of history". Wonder what happened to that program anyway? Well Steve, you can use the old standby of marking your camp boundaries with a little pee (scent marking)-that seems to work! Smoke

Thanks, guys, for the great TR's and all the info on Manly :D ! Smoke

Okay, I went and bought fwc- Mule Jerry Can with all the mounting stuff and it arrived w/o instructions (called them) and I guess we use the old jack bolts to mount it. I seem to remember seeing/reading/hearing somewhere here about needing additional bolts to mount it on the back-did I misread...

got sone reading to do? Thanks for taking us along! Smoke

It's a small world guys, tuned into more of your Death Valley posts and to warm up from the cold Winter we are having in the high desert of the western Great Basin and to my surprise the name William Lewis Manly jumps out at me :lol:! You see I had just stumbled over the book "Death Valley in...

Wish I was there Mark! Clear and cold with a biting wind here with patches of snow here and there !. Getting ready to walk Timber up the hill-even just put on my new Twisted "X" hiking boots to keep my feet nice and toasty warm :rolleyes: on this nice Winter Day! Smoke

I think it has something to do with her Australian (no rain) cattle dog part-Bobby, my Border Collie before her, loved water in any shape or form :rolleyes: ! Smoke

Still rain here in NE California; snow and much colder this PM (and I just put out the humming bird feeders too!!). Tried to walk Timber a while ago-nope-to wet (I didn't know border collies dissolved in a hard rain?). Boy am I ready for the hot weather-the hotter the better. Hmmm, stew-sounds...

I think I saw 875.00 for the interior an over 2000.00 for the exterior and can only be done at a dealer. You have to look at the section that shows the possible add on features when you build your pop-up. Smoke

Thanks much. I need to check this out! Smoke

SlowernOlder Okay-I'm also old-just turned 80, fell on my shoulder and back (again) and despite my new speaker holder and new pair of roof assists-"thinger lifter upper witch-em-macallits", I'm having problems lifting my 05 Grandby's roof by myself and can't hit the back country like I'm used...

Hey-almost time to try it out-if you like mud, Craig! Sure looks nice- enjoy it :rolleyes: ! Smoke

If u make it to Willits, Vick I second trying for the Redwood NP on 101, and from there water up and if the roads are open head for Mattole Beach and CG at the Northern end of the King Range /or head north on 1-great drive, but no cgs on way north. U can also head over to Ft Bragg on 20 and head...

Many years ago and old wildlife biologist (seems like it's always someone old <_<) told me you can always tell if an area is healthy or not by just stopping and listening! If you hear the happy chirp of birds and chatter of squirls in the trees you probably have a healthy area. It works out in...

Glad to see yah back! Always enjoy your adventures and sketches :rolleyes: ! Smoke

Yep, that catch sure looks worthy of further investigation. with or with out more beer :lol: ! Smoke

People never learn do they? My favorite still is the old Darwin classic of some people trying to shove a black bear into the front seat of their car with their terrified Grandma in order to get that great photograph :wacko: ! Smoke

Toilet paper and paper towels :lol: ! Back scratcher, Spot GPS and camp rifle. Way to much "Getting Unstuck" and survival gear I have gathered over the last 60 or so years of wandering the back country. Smoke

I apparently picked up an unwanted guest while camping up in the Warners a while back and after unloading my Granby when I got home. I got busy and didn't go back into my FWC for over a month. I had some time and was ready to head out again, loaded her up (did not do my regular pre-camping...

Don't know about the rest, but that inside power lift sure looks interesting! My soon to be 80 year old body could use the help sometimes :D ! Smoke

Yep Bill, another nice trip B) report! Thanks for the ride-a-long. Smoke

Yep Bill. I also enjoy your TR's and this one did not let me down! I sure enjoy that high country too. Seeing houses out in the boonies seems to be an unfortunate fact of FTWing these days--people today seem to be like the sheep, cows and the homesteaders of yester year and try to find that...

I like to tell this story at this point when none of the above seems to work :wacko: ! Our very experienced archaeological survey team was doing some inventory work for the USFS up on the -I think it was Stanislaus NF -in 1973-4. Anyway, it was back in the dark ages before GPS was available to...

Ya know it is probably just me, but when I first got my FWC (2004) there were not that many of them out and about-----And seeing one almost called for a celebration or at least a wave! Over the years, I've had many a good conversation with fellow owners and want to be owners from such chance...

Ed Really glad you took us along on this trip! Yep, these are the types of places that need to be left alone and not loved to death as happens so often. Your pictures were great and thanks again :D! Smoke
