Thanks All...just starting to think about this but generally I mean in the area between Fraser River and Prince Ruppert...perhaps further north. DG

Hi Beale And thanks for the response. Up on Vancouver Island we have found lots of Crown forest lands/roads to explore and assorted smaller lakes to visit for a few days at a time while rambling around for maybe three weeks. Is same to be found on the mainland side ?...We are willing to travel...

Howdy Considering an extended visit up the B.C. mainland coast. Is there any experience with the area here ? We have spent lots of time on upper Vancouver Island and are looking for history and natural history. May plan to trailer a small boat for lake excursions. Thinking July...are there bugs...

Howdy Thanks for posting that. Having grown up on "the other side" (in Virginia) I never new the details about my own properties' survey. David Graves Nehalem, Oregon

I have not kept up in this thread but think the "golfer" should have been made to retrieve her ball.

Howdy BBZ....zzzzzzzzz, Yep look back at he earlier thread re Harvest Hosts....they seem to have a use for many on WTW. Merry Christmas David Graves......zzzzzz

Hi Tod Excellent posts and much the same as our experiences down south. I may PM about the place you stayed near Loretto . We usually keep moving but might sometime try a longer stay in one place. Also I have always wanted my wife to fly down to Loretto instead of the long slog from Oregon...

Turning wheels are always good. We own our third FWC now and have enjoyed a lot of good times in them. Nevertheless I tend to easily confuse the "inside " experience with the "outside" reality.... :) . Keep it light and keep it happy. Merry Christmas David Graves

Howdy and welcome The weight capacity for the overhead will always be a matter of static or dynamic loading (big words I don't understand) but basically whether you want to carry a lot of weight up on the platform while folded down driving washboard or just need to settle in for the night. It...

Hey Mitch...we also have wondered about this years bloom. Care to share your point of view ?

Hey Mitch It might help to say more specifically what you need. Will you stay in your camper all or some of that time ? Are you looking for secure parking like behind a fence on in a building ? Are you willing to let a member here use your camper ? Are you driving down flying home and then...

Howdy And welcome to WTW. We have enjoyed a FWC shell model for many years. Are you trying to decide what items to have the factory install ? David Graves

All this thinking is good for the little grey cells. In reality for us we could just store the lightweight flex panel on the overhead bunk area (which we don't use) and deploy on the truck windshield at 45 degrees to our sun here along the 45th parallel above the equator....but here is still...

Hi Craig My solar flex panel stalled partly because we just don't need solar charging with our mode of camping. I had planned (and created) to rest the panels atop 1" blue foam panels in which I drilled a regular panel of 4" diameter holes along with fore aft air channels. I know the foam is...

Howdy Is anyone reading this located in or near Daly City, Ca ? I have a favor to ask. David Graves

Dang....I looked but don't have a spare $120 K handy.

Howdy WTW is a tolerant good group of folks both welcoming and respectful. We come from a wide expanse of the North American continent and include lots of differing ideas about enjoying and observing the outdoors. Mostly, we seem united by enjoyment of smaller. simpler forms of vehicle...

Perfect...enjoy.

Baja Nomads used to be a good source of info generally about travel south of the border. Increasingly it seems strong personalities with either a profit motive or a "me , me , me, me" persona have soured my taste of the "info" found on that discussion forum. It may be that all one can do is...

Howdy Did you say Tick Season ? My sister in laws greatest lament after 30 years in Norwich, VT concerned the advance of the common deer tick north across the Vermont woodlands. Deer ticks and Lymes disease are a very real threat now. Of course, nowhere is without some challenges. David Graves

Vermont is all about Fall,,,enjoy it ! Mud season...not so much. David Graves

Howdy Sounds like you have the essentials covered......take a look at the weather forecast .....

Borrego Springs is looking mighty fine.... There is a volunteer driven invasive weed removal effort that meets weekly in Boreggo....nice group of folks and lends a bit of normalcy to living on the road. Also the thrift shop there is fairly good. DG

Hey Buckland Just pulled in from about 6K miles from Oregon to Illinois and back. With the cold front over the last week or so we returned via the southern tier of AK, OK, NM, AZ and then up through ID and home. Will share some thoughts in the morning when the tire noise stops ringing in my...
