We've used an inexpensive popup tent with an astroturf mat inside for ten years now. Add a small popup plastic table for toiletries. Works great! On a very windy DV night I cut a hole and clipped a carabiner through the spring steel metal frame. An adjustable canvas belt scavenged from the...

The users in AH went from 30k in 2010 to 60k in 2019, so you're right on target. Cut & Pasta from FB DV page: Key Take Away: The Bishop BLM Office has been working to create the management plan since March of 2019 when the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management and Recreation Act...

Those ocher pigments remind me of another pictograph site you recently published. We had the good fortune to visit the same locale and found the same cave. The raven feathers were still strewn about! We enjoyed circumambulating that wonderful quiet valley with no outlet. My question is...

It's sad the AH have been overrun by the masses who have poor ethics. We've taken to other boondock locations nearby, if passing through.

Transplanted some lettuce starts on a warm January day today. We've been harvesting arugula from under a hoop and visqueen covered garden bed for six weeks now. We NEED rain in Northern California.

bsharp007 What year is your Hawk? Thx

We jumped ship and recently went with Renology 100ah lithium. Our system never went below 13v during a week long camping trip over the solstice with <8hrs charging using our 130w panel on the roof. Results were much better than with our previous agm battery, when we felt voltage scarcity with...

I had a flatbed built by Condor Truckbeds another lifetime ago. The perimeter was steel channel with stake pockets and deck was T&G teak secured with screws. The lumber reminds me of Ipe, also known as "iron wood". During San Diego summers the 1x6 floor boards would shrink and I had 3/8" -...

Update on the window replacement for the rear window of our Hawk Aaron at FWC gave me the rough opening dimensions, which I verified match our 08 Hawk. Today he quoted me $65 + ship/tax which is very reasonable IMHO. My other choice was pulling the vinyl bead, and resetting a custom tempered...

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: This time was about 20 miles south of our previous blowout Sunni, where Lippincot makes that straight shot across the valley floor.

Thanks guys. Aaron at FWC is helping me figure out if their windows will fit. Apparently the original window mfg. was shut down. If this doesn't work, I'll check with Marty.

We like to stow our Zodi Extreme behind the roll over seat in our 2008 Hawk. After 40 miles of washboard, the full (2 gal) Zodi leaned into our rear 14"x14" window and blew it out. I duct taped a grocery bag as a field repair which got us through another week, including 19F nights. Does anyone...

Another great TR, Mr. Ski and Lady! I've been talking up a trip around Hunter with SR for a while. We've passed through, but didn't explore enough. Those petros and pictographs, especially are spectacular. It's been on our short list.

Nice reach and detail!

I used to wave hi to Chuck when he walked along our local canal trail. He was a taciturn fellow, but after a few years he would give a gruff greeting.

We've used a Wave 3 in our Hawk for almost a decade. We recently replaced it when the output seemed diminished. The pad is sensitive to dust, so our new Wave has a "shower cap" we put on it when it's not in use, especially driving dusty roads. That said, we have been satisfied with the quiet...

Down in the Central Valley the annual migration of birds has begun. I went down to catch the full moon and saw tundra swan, white faced ibis, cattle egret and great egret, white fronted geese, and numerous raptors including a white-tailed kite, kestrel, red tail hawk. I'm trying to squeeze in...

Perfect! I added an IOTA IQ4? dongle when I bought the Hawk back in 2010, but I don't think they were optimized for LiPo batteries. It was about twenty bucks back then. For $18 I'll get the IOTA IQ-LIFEPO, and that will fix the shore power concern. Thanks Buckland! Andy

Just pulled the trigger on a Renology 100ah LiPo at $899 less 15% during CYBERWEEK discount. $837.66 including tax and shipping. We're tired of limping along on our 100ah AGM battery, hovering just above 12v most mornings. I've done cursory investigation on our Morningstar MPPT controller and...

Bill Bridges Old timers still remember. I did do the Grand, but with axe and crampons!

That's a really cool camper dolly, and could be the right answer for someone. My home-built plywood platform on wheels takes up a good chunk of my garage, but I can't part with it, even though my Hawk now resides full time on my truck.

Keep 'em coming folks!!

Glad to hear of some respectful spring locations! We just returned from Sonora Pass area and were blessed with smoke free conditions, and ongoing fall colors.

Thank you too! We just returned from two nights out on the Eastern Sierra and managed to find fall colors and saw very few people. Our first camp was a familiar "aspen camp" where we've been lucky a number of times and had it to ourselves. The second night, we took a spot on an empty loop...

.....when your wife reminds you two months :cool: after :cool: your birthday that you are indeed qualified to join her in a Geezer Pass! She's got me by 18 months and never passes up the chance to rub it in. Seriously, who makes Nixon jokes? :ph34r: But, I'm not done working just yet. I've...
