Howdy Is there anyone from near to Scotts Valley, CA ?...near Santa Cruz I may need a small favor....trying to buy something small. If you know me and have some spare time please PM me. Many thanks David Graves

Hi Vic Not sure how you manage it ! keep the mittens on... DG

"Oh Canada, Oh Canada, We hope to go to Canada" Sometime before we...well you know. DG

Walowa, You make your coffee with Chemical Heat Packets ?! YUK !!! : ) DG

Howdy I PM'd you...I used to cross the Rapidan at Kellys Ford all the time. DG

Since we stole the thread anyway why don't you go get your truck, run down to Alabama, get you trailer then run down to Tampa and get his camper for him....bring it Portland and let him buy your fuel ? I used to do this stuff all the time when we first moved out West. DG

Windy I grew up farming in Nawthren Virginia (Fauquier County) but have a brother who lives in Hurt. Howdy David Graves

Where in Virginia Windy ? I have property there. David Graves

I was unaware of the Tiger brand but it very much reminds me of the assorted Toyota truck based fiberglass camper bodies....Sundraider and others that seemed to make a good deal of sense...especially with 4WD. DG

Strange Times Indeed, And not just for recreational items. A nearby home to us, asking price $450K, sold in less than a week at $75K over asking. Some locals think "Oh how wonderful ! " To my point of view it means if we were to sell, we could never afford to buy back our own property...

....second the close pins and assorted short lengths of cord. DG

Howdy Your organizational skills make my brain hurt but good on you.... Camp chairs of your liking ? Did not see them in there. I suspect you have a place for nearly everything on your list..... We always try to take along some "extra space" and usually donate some clothes or tools, etc...

Howdy Before you overthink it go back there today or tomorrow and walk the hill. Find out the actual conditions under all the white stuff. Gravity wins every time on ice..... the only instinct I might have had would have been to try and steer to shoulder edge looking for some traction in an...

We second Big Bend state park. DG

Howdy It is muddled reasoning to even consider that one needs less than seven means of camping. We just bought a Fiat 500 convertible and I am thoroughly interested in finding something we can tow behind it in order to go camping....with our canoe. DG PS And I still like my tent.

One favorite memory related to Big Bend. Many years ago were were crossing west Texas on some or other Interstate (20?) and saw a sign saying Big Bend NP next exit.....Hope said lets go for it ....so I steered off the exit. The next sign pointed south and read " Big Bend NP, 820 miles." DG

Hi Bill I echo what Sage said...except I am not THAT old ! 67 and counting.....and waiting for a vaccine. Hope and I were just talking about the Polio Vaccine on sugar cubes.....she helped her dad administer...as a teenager. David Graves

AWG, Aw shucks, I had thought someone would talk me out of my depressing thoughts......... :( . DG

I re read my post above and feel I might have been a little foggy headed. What I think we need to come to regulate is the UNBRIDLED internet tourist promotion of nearly every part of our planet. Where I live, a great many folks make a living by incessantly posting little tidbits about how...

Hey Vic We canoe too ! One thing you might consider in Baja Sur is to rent or borrow some locals little skiff in order to get on the water... or just pay for a Panga ride in some area that interests you. You are not allowed to paddle your own boat in any of the whales sanctuaries, and most...

I too am concerned about the increasing "consumption" of the outdoors. One thing that has to happen sooner or later is to somehow regulate the internet. The first thing I ask of visitors to my home area is "Please don't post your images to social media! " I know regulation is hard to...

Hi Bill, Ccongrats on the change to a Class B. We used a Class B hightop Dodge for many years and there are some real comforts to be had. My very favorite was stopping for lunch, for a nap or for the night and never having to even open the door....you are already home! The west will treat you...

Hi Vic I second the thought that you are maybe rushing a trip to cover all that ground in that short a time. Baja is slow going...not only because its inadvisable to travel after dark...short days in the winter...but also because there is so very much to see and do.....much of it in the...

Remember....to get warmer you not only must travel south but also loose altitude. Look at the best 10 day weather report you can trust and travel accordingly. Or stay home and stoke the fire.

Howdy My local hardware/lumber yard sells an Industrial grade Velcro strip that would do the job perfectly.....I will try to find the brand name but I think I recall it is the original maker of Velcro....AND it has a sticky back for application. Unless you really like sowing and etc you might...
