Thank you for the nice comment.

If I remember what I've read the lava necks we see now as peaks were below ground when the volcanoes were active - everything else eroded away. Thanks for your comment, Frank and JWL.

There is a new video posted on Bosque Bill's Backroads travel & camping blog. Happy New Year. Let's hope 2021 is a better, healthier year for us all. As you no doubt know I skipped travel and camping last season. I'm hopeful I will be able to get out on those backroads safely this season. I...

Also... on my White & Rogers, which you move the lever all the way to the left to turn it off, about a year ago I didn't get heat and discovered that those contacts didn't close when the lever was moved to set the temperature. Over the years the plastic piece that slides between the contacts to...

You can easily adjust the cycle time of the thermostat. There's an adjustment screw under the cover. Sorry I can't give you more info, but my Fleet is in storage. But a simple web search should get you the info.

FYI, I got word yesterday of a wildfire up South Mineral Road west of Silverton named the Ice fire. It is near the campground where the gravel road ends and not far from where a segment of my video was filmed. This is very difficult terrain and I am concerned. As of Tuesday, October 20, 2020 it...

Wandering, Poky, and searching, Thanks for you comments. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Frank and Vic - thanks for viewing and commenting.

Autumn Color in Southwestern Colorado A year in the making, LOL. Beautiful views of colorful aspen and oaks covering the mountainsides and valleys of southwestern Colorado. Locations listed below. The images were captured during my trip of September 30th through October 3rd, 2019, in the San...

I put carpet down in my camper and the broom works fine, though the carpet has a very short nap.

Ha, ha. I'm old school. I use what's called a Lobby Broom - slightly larger than a whisk broom, but with a long handle - it runs on elbow grease, no volts needed. I got mine on Amazon. For the rest, just like home, dusting and wiping down the counter tops and sink.

Curious, why not silicone caulk?

You said, "all worked fine except I upgraded to the Victron100-20". Why are you not considering that this is the problem? Bridge the battery(+) to the load(+) and see if the problem persists: if no, then the Victron may be the problem; if yes, then the battery may be the problem.

Electrically there's no real difference. Stranded wire will likely be easier to work with and route. In either case make sure you use a bushing or other material if you route through a panel or bulkhead to prevent the jacket from rubbing on a sharp or abrasive surface as the camper vibrates down...

I used a strong solution of bleach on my virgin tank that was full of water. Don't remember now, but maybe a quarter cup - probably whatever FWC recommended. Then like Cayuse let it slosh around for a few days and pumped it though sink and shower. Filled and drained a couple times. Subsequent...

Frank, before you spend any money you should pause to think what your objective is for the drone. If just to fly around and have fun, then most any will do. $200 is pretty cheap. Generally, the more you pay the easier they are to fly as they have GPS, inertial guidance, etc. A good low cost...

I realize you are asking about Filon, but wanted to say the original FWC aluminum siding has been very resistant to limb scratches for me. Much better than the clear coat/paint on my Tacoma.

Thanks, Frank and Elken for commenting. Poky, have you tried to use your drone at higher altitudes? It may work fine, or at least well enough - just keep an eye on motor temperatures. Just checked my flight records; my max takeoff altitude is 11,148'! Vic, glad you were able to view with 4K...

I won't say it limits my duration, but I seem to run out of milk for my breakfast cereal before anything else. (Yes, I'm of genetic stock that I can drink milk and enjoy it well into old age.) I now carry almond "milk" as a back-up as it doesn't need refrigeration until opened. I've been known...

This video is in 4K UHD. I recommend you watch it full-screen. [Note: the Safari browser will only play video in HD, so if you have a 4K screen I recommend Firefox or another browser.] https://youtu.be/9eZI4dRqKpU The Dolores River originates high in the San Juan Mountains. It flows south...

Poky, thanks for your very nice comment. I appreciate it very much! Sounds like you had a wonderful tour that provided many lasting memories. Sagebrush, I hope you do get the chance to roam in that area. It's gorgeous, but some of the roads are very rocky.

Thanks, Ski. Yeah, stay at home orders are still in effect for Colorado and San Juan County has been particularly aggressive in keeping non-locals away. Last I heard there were provisions to cite and fine non-locals for accessing the backcountry. I know better than to go where I'm not wanted...

Well, done. I used the My Maps function of Google similarly and have tried over the years to tag each post with the locations. Only problem with tags is after some amount of time the blogger platform doesn't let me edit the tags, so I can't update.

Frank, JWL, and Vic, thanks for leaving your comments. Those were great trips with beautiful scenery. Yeah, amazing how well some of those structures have held up.
