The flowers were really something, sorry you missed those. No, my knees were telling me I'd had enough by the time I got to Delicate Arch. But I did have my secret weapon - 420mm worth of telephoto lens. There was a good vantage point about a hundred yards in on the 4-wheel drive trail. I drove...

There is a gate at the national park boundary where you need a permit for vehicle entry. I believe you're right that NPS doesn't allow camping in the park there. But there is 15 miles of road, 90% of which is BLM land, between the park and 211. I would expect you should be able to find dispersed...

Glad you got out to a lovely spot and that your roof is fixed.

Thanks to all who took time to comment. Part 2 is now posted, if you hadn't noticed.

Here's part 2 of my SE Utah trip: BLM Indian Creek Recreation Area and Canyonlands National Park: The Needles Next up will be Arches National Park.

This is part one of (probably) three covering my 6 day trip to SE Utah last week. This installment covers: Muley Point & Johns Canyon Road This post has many more photos than prose. Remember to click a photo to see a larger version. The next posts will cover Canyonlands NP, both the Needles...

Janet, I finally caught up the other day, so cleared my cache and cookies. Today I got the same pop up window just like before. Again, it's not that distracting and I can easily live with it, so don't worry about spending time trying to find the bug. It's just irritating enough that I get some...

I think if boondocking getting ice might be problematic. For those of us in dry climates an evaporative cooler would work well. This guy, , has a nice video, but the problem with his design is that if you sit this in your camper, the humidity of the camper will rise and the cooling effect will...

Ditto the other comments. I suspect your laptop's 4 hour estimate didn't take into account energy required to spin the DVD.

Nope, sorry. My fridge came already installed by FWC - must have been another Bill. BTW, probably a better way of getting someone's attention is by sending them a message via the forum, rather than putting their name in the post title. Putting it in the title is no guarantee that they'll see...

I was apprehensive, but now am relieved. Cave Creek canyon was essentially untouched. It wasn't until the highest elevations that the fire scars showed up - and the west slopes looked bad. Yes, too early for Trogons this season. Red-faced Warblers were reported in numbers about 2.5 miles up...

Very cool rally, sorry I missed the fun. Bill, Thanks for the excellent video. I watched it on the YouTube site in 720p and large viewer.

Thanks, everyone, for your nice comments! Bill, Thanks. I created a page on my blog that covers all my cameras and lenses. Click the appropriate tab near the top of the page, just under the masthead photo. Let me know if you have other questions.

Not sure why you'd want to do this and carry the extra weight around unless you are frequently taking the camper on and off the truck. In those old, heavy campers you could jack it up, drive away to go fishing and the camper would still be usable, but in our lightweight FWC campers they...

First Trip of the Season I wanted a four or five day trip to "shake down" to start the year. As it was early in the season, a southern venture sounded best... Read my blog post of my trip to the Chiricahua's and the Gila On my website is a photo post of the Gila Cliff Dwellings National...

Yes, and it didn't fall off this past week while in the Chiricahua and the Gila Mountains (trip report in a few days). Sorry, I thought I'd posted a link in this thread to the separate article showing the project...

I did most of the install myself, but needed help when it came time to tighten the bolts, as you could imagine. It wasn't too scary. There are no studs on the FWC - it is a 3/4" laminated lumber sheet (not plywood, but solid boards bonded like a butcher block) with Formica on each side. The...

I'd really enjoy joining a get together like this especially to meet lots of the folks I've interacted with here on WTW. Unfortunately, I'm guessing that most of you folks are located within a few hundred miles of the west coast and would understandably want to have the rally convenient for...

Less of a mod; more of a tip. I filled my Rotopax gas cans for the first time yesterday afternoon. As I re-inserted the nozzles into the containers, I realized that when the time comes to use the gas, there is very little way to avoid getting gas on one's hands in that operation. Sure a little...

The Mojave Desert Preserve is a great place to spend a little time or just spend a night. I don't have specific suggestions, I just found a secluded spot to break my drive and spend the night.

Version 6.1.3 (7537.75.14) Janet, don't feel like you need put much time into this issue on my account. There's apparently not an obvious fix and it isn't interfering with the functionality of the site that I can see - it's just a minor irritation when it pops up.

Thanks for your efforts with the site, Janet. Overall everything works much better and quicker with all the updates and attention in the last several months. Unfortunately, I am still seeing the floating window intermittently. I cleared my cache, but not my cookies as I don't want to lose the...

Ron, that looks like a very nice set-up. Thanks for sharing the big photos - fun to see the hitch "before" and "after", too :) Yes, those quick-fist clamps work great, though you do have to be careful as the furnished screws will pull right out if you snag your shovel (though if you've used the...

Jim, that does look handy. Probably useful around the campsite, too.

Thanks for the photos. Looks great.
