Thanks Bill for sharing your adventures with us. What beautiful country! Your photos do a great job of giving me a feel for the area.

Another great trip report from another place I must visit. Many thanks.

Ski has got it right! This is a huge fundraiser for a small county, as well as bringing in income for the small businesses of the area.

Yes, a very nice heater. And as smlobx points out, it runs on diesel. I had a very similar heater made by Espar in my Diesel Vanagon Syncro, also a very nice heater and a little more readily available in the US than the Webasto I think. Be sure to get the high altitude kit if you are going to...

Many decades ago there was a listing in the Oakland, California phone book for the "Home for Unwed Plastic Flamingos." Not to be outdone, yours truly listed his phone as "West Coast Rent-a-Pest." May Pink Plastic Flamingos continue to thrive in the wide variety of habitats to which they seem to...

Oog. I'm feeling a little queasy.

Thank you for the fine informative trip report. It contains information that will be of great value to me in the not-too-distant future!

B.B. King introduced many of my generation to The Blues. He became hugely popular in the late sixties when I first heard him at San Francisco's Filmore Auditorium. He later claimed that concert in 1967 was the first time he ever played before a white audience. Thanks in large part to B.B...

I'm new to your reports Milt, and I must say that is fabulous! I think that most of the reason I photograph the way I do is because I could never get the hang of drawing. I'm envious. Thank-you!

I guess I'm an old guy myself. All our Kate Wolf recordings are on vinyl and my wife and I first heard Laurie Lewis back in the late seventies/early eighties when she played regularly at a pizza parlor with a band called "The Good Old Persons." But, if it is not too presumptuous for a newcomer...

Thanks!

Good article. I'm surprised the author didn't mention the other rather alarming symptom of Pulmonary Edema, which is that breathing sounds like sucking up the last bits of milkshake through a straw. But my experience is very limited. I have heard this distinct and alarming sound in the only...

The size of the controller is an important limiting factor... but so is the size of the wallet.

Pure genius!

I guess I'm of similar mind to JaSAn. When I was twenty (a long, long time ago) my grandmother gave me her old TV when she got a new one. In the year that I owned it I never made the time to watch it so I left it to the next tenant when I moved out. I haven't owned one since. When we are...

I'm fairly new to WtW and don't know how many vehicles these events usually attract, but the two group sites at Green Creek near Bridgeport, are adjacent to each other and would probably accomodate 20 vehicles. (The Toyiabe Forest website says 25 to 50 people for $75/night) A beautiful area...

I dry them with one of those round food dehydrator, also works great for preparing backpacking food. Somewhere around 130 degrees f. is about right for Boletes. The mushroom that is called "Slippery Jack" here in coastal California is actually a Suillus, not a Boletus. But it does have the...

What a fine combination, Boletes and Morels! Boletes and Oysters are a fall crop here on the coast. Chantarelles, Hedgehogs, and Coccoli in the winter, Black Chantrelles (darn hard to see, they blend in so well!) and puffballs in the spring. Morels only very occassionally in disturbed soil...

I was pulled over some twenty years ago in Death Valley on the cutoff road between Beatty Junction and Hell's Gate; pulled over in an air-cooled VW Camper, fully loaded with a family of four and all our camping acoutrements, going uphill no less! This is a vehicle that took close to a minute to...

Stunning petroglyphs! The few small panels I have found off the beaten path always leave me a little animated for a few days after. But nothing like the riches that you have sleuthed out! This rock art is among the rarest of the many treasures of the desert. Thank you.

I love the concept of this game but we seem to be going nowhere. Maybe it's time to exercise Rule 3 or hope that now that Bseek has a camper she will return and enlighten us.

I completely agree with the recommendation by Wandering Sagebrush. If you don't stay at the French Glen Hotel there is a nice campground nearby with a nice little trout stream running through it. http://www.blm.gov/or/resources/recreation/site_info.php?siteid=24 The Red Rock Lakes National...

Thanks for the trip report. Nicely done! The photos give a good feel for the area. Ah, Nicely's. It wasn't until last summer that I finally got up the courage to try dining there again after a couple of excruciatingly bad meals about 40 years ago. I agree with you: The food is now very good.

Peanut Butter Tacos - quick to make and delicious, must be eaten warm. Heat a corn tortilla on a comal or heavy frying pan until pliable. Spread with a thin coat of peanut butter. Drizzle on some maple syrup or your favorite jam or jelly. Add several drops of your favorite hot sauce. Roll...

Talk to him. I briefly discussed with him a stripped-down version of the V-2 but my list of changes and deletions was a very long one which would have required him to find new vendors for things like single-pane windows, gas struts instead of hydraulic lift, etc. At some point the work...
