Hoyden, nice to see you are still kicking. I've removed those bolts on my Tacoma twice every year since I got the tonneau cover- it bolts on under the cargo bars and has to be removed to put the camper in. The bolts are torx head- I have a set of bits and use the one that fits, never paid...
I have considered both a pintle or a multi-axis coupler. Unfortunately they are expensive. I am going to try this for a while. With this new setup I can easily swap in the future if needed.
Thanks for your comment.
Thanks Foy. We love the UP also.
Thanks Ski. That bike trip was over 45 years ago! Time flies but the memories remain (at least so far).
Thanks Frank. We need to get to Alaska one of these days.
Here's a trailer update. For those that read our Denver trip report, you will know that the trailer lost it's connection to our truck at a rough railroad crossing. No real harm done other than scrubbing some metal off the landing leg casting.
As a result of that mishap, I made a new trailer...
We took a short trip to the Chippewa National Forest. I posted a report to our blog:

Way to go- another nice trip. We've been to Great Basin but in the winter- totally different place in the summer! Our kids will be through there next week. Thanks for the report and the pics.
Ski, thanks for your comment :)
Foy, yes, those trains rumbling by and blowing their whistles provide a unique ambiance for camping. Glad to have provided some memory triggers for you. Thanks for your comments. :)
We took a driving trip to Denver to visit our son who is relocating there from the Bay Area. The trip didn't provide a lot of blog material but I took a few photos and wrote it up anyway. We camped at Rocky Mountain National Park and enjoyed driving the Trail Ridge Road. We saw some nice scenery...
Ski, yes, that is the route. They are thinking they can do the trip from Wawona to Great Basin in one day, leaving Yosemite early and a arriving for a late dinner in Great Basin. Is that realistic?
Wouldn't be for us but they are young. :)
Thanks for the comments everyone. Keep them coming :) We've driven Hwy 50 in the winter but that is a whole different thing. We did visit the Hickson petroglyph site and enjoyed that. Camped at the Bob Scott USFS campground- and were definitely by ourselves there in December, haha.
My son and his wife are planning to drive from the Bay area to Denver via Yosemite and Hwy 50 at the end of July. I thought I would post here to see if anyone has any tips for the Hwy 50 portion. They are a bit worried about the potential heat in the desert. Is that an issue? They will be...
Here's one from our latest trip- the first with the trailer. We had to carry a bunch of tools for a 2-week working vacation. Trailer carried the tools and our camping gear for over 2000 miles. Camped at Rocky Mountain National Park, the Nebraska National Forest and other spots. Worked well...
