Sorry to hear about your wife, Vic If you're still around Feb 10th is the Mardi Gras parade in Nevada City. If the weather is nice, it's a real hoot. There's a number of national wildlife reserves near Willits, if you're into birding. Table Mountain has a number of waterfalls that are...

Thank you, Milt. Your art and sparse words give plenty of space for me to imagine myself in your shoes.

Wonderful trip report to some of our favorite places! Mouse site was also a basecamp for us to walk to the circus petros. But, we drove to Little Finland, while you two hiked it! It's fun to see the Lady adopting the smarty pants phone and take pics. Getting those Benton cancellations takes...

Sigh! It is disheartening and there's always another one.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our WTW friends, past and present. It's been a season of reflection and remembrance. Thanks to Wandering Sagebrush for prodding my memory banks on posting photos here..

We both cracked up!

Looks like you had a wonderful trip.

Wow, great repair Frank! Very well documented with great photos. I'm glad you were able to refer to my original post from THIRTEEN YEARS AGO! Follow up: I've had no leaks from the repair, but the Yakima tracks, specifically the screws have caused another set of leaks. Those were fairly easy to...

Looking forward to Part Two. I've already got the itch to go fishing. We've been scouting LCT territory.

Please cross post to Low Cost Mods :P

I've used plus-nuts through the studs to mount 2 gal Rotopax between our headache rack and the camper. I did use a stud finder, inside and out and a remodeler's intuition before drilling a small exploratory hole. My main problem with Rotopax is the swelling due to temperature and elevation...

I generally knock them down. It's become rampant to build countless rock piles and diminishes the natural environment, sometimes placed every fifty feet. Critters live under those rocks. On the other hand, there have been glacier crossings, untrammeled mountain descents and desert rambles...

Guilty of both, and have the scars to prove it. Side note: Today I used my e-bike to drop off my Tundra for a wheel balance at Big Brand Tire, then drop off a package at FedEx, and went to the gym for half an hour workout (part of my Younger Next Year mantra), then back a mile to retrieve the...

I would be out three or four grand at that price point!

That's a clean set up! I'm sure you'll have no trouble making the sale.

Thanks for the East Side wild flower report. It's been quite a winter/spring. We've been seeing about moving our old camper to the new flatbed/RAM. If I get the slow leaking tire fixed and finish the bolt-on Hawk install we might go looking for morels for a one-nighter.

If I understood KP correctly, the rooftop panel and the portable panel may be producing different outputs and a single controller won't optimize the results (example: truck in shade, portable in full sun). I also like the idea my portable panel with controller can be a stand alone device for...

I went with a Renogy 100w suitcase last fall that includes it's own solar charge controller based on advice from KP. It's a reasonable sized kit and includes a protective suitcase. You're correct about checking polarity, and using the SAE connector provided by FWC on their newer campers...

I love Ramblers. My family owned several and I bought my first 1964 for $400 in my senior year of high school.

Looking forward to Parts 2 and 3. Benton has been hit by floods for two years now. The campground looks like it was a mess. I also thought Hwy 120 was the likely closure, not Hwy 6. I wonder if the dirt route around the east side of Mono Lake is still viable. That's often been a winter work...

A wonderful trip with nice photos!

I want to take some blame for the current blizzard. I was putting tools in my flatbed this morning and unloaded my second set of chains I still had in one of the tool boxes. Our garden had melted off and our snap peas and lettuce were coming up. I thought we were done with snow. Sure...

.....and a nice wide angle lens too. What are you with shooting now, Ski?

We have weak minds and strong backs! If you give SR a shovel, she's unstoppable.

Wow, 10.5" of rain in five days! We're a bit lower elevation, but got a similar drenching rain. It was fun watching the snowpack melt off the roofs over the last few days. The orchard and garden are still under a foot or more of snow. I use sorel boots to walk the property. I was pleasantly...
