Well the weirdest winter in some time continues here. Real winter is all around us but not here. St Louis gets 12" of snow and we get nothing. We have had a couple months of above average temps and no snow. Not that I am complaining but it is weird. Middle of January and we saw a large flock of...

Cool images!

Here's another bit of crazy by the current administration: Responding to Archeologists' Amicus briefs filed in support of a lawsuit by the Hopi tribe and others over removal of protections from the Utah monuments: “Federal defendants do not have adequate time or space to address every...

Happy New Year everybody!

Foy, funny you should mention rain. It has been raining here all day! This after a few inches of snow last night which is rapidly melting. Temps in the high 30°s. Weirdest Minnesota December weather ever! Folks a couple hours north of us are getting socked with over a foot of the white stuff...

Nice sunset! And happy Solstice everyone. Smlobx- sorry to hear about your neighbor's misfortune. Best wishes go out to you and them.

Enjoyed your trip report! Quite a varied experience and nice photos. Thanks!

Cool idea. I see there is a participating brewery not far us- Wild Mind Artisan Ales. We've been there before and will probably make another visit on Thursday for this event.

Would love to be a short drive from Utah- it's an amazing place! Thanks for your report. The 360° panoramas are pretty cool.

Interesting area. I wonder why so much art in that locale? Thanks for the report!

Sounds like a good relaxing time. Sure wish we had some hot springs around here- we are heading into the single digit temperatures the next couple of nights. Soaking in a hot spring would be pretty nice.

Park and Lighthawk- nice images. Thanks for posting them.

Even short trips are great. I enjoy your reports, thanks for posting them!

Yep, couple of snowy mornings around here too. :)

The good news is that we don't have fires much around here, the bad news is we don't have hot springs either. We know the fires are a serious problem for many. Our heart goes out to those affected and we hope for the best in that regard. The hot springs on the other hand sound wonderful. Thanks...

Why is it we can remember the stories but not who we already told them to? <_< Been there, :) Beautiful country. Thanks for the report.

Cool stuff. Thanks for the report. :)

The ground holds a lot of moisture that will adversely affect your camper over time, assuming it is kept relatively close to the ground, which would be advisable. The tarp will create a vapor barrier and reduce the amount of moisture present. Also less hospitable to bugs and critters hanging out...

If it was me, I would spread a tarp on the ground under the camper and stake it down before parking the camper. Put the blocks for the jacks on top of the tarp to help hold it in place. Keep the camper elevated a bit over the tarp to allow good ventilation.

"A bad day camping is still a good day." That is true! Looks like a good weekend. Dogs are great camping mates. Thanks for the report.

I've fooled around in SketchUp on the Mac. It's fun and easy to learn. The downside is it doesn't translate easily to CNC type applications, if that's where you're headed. There are conversion programs but I haven't had good success with them, probably due to my own lack of knowledge in both. I...

Well we didn't hit -5°C today plus had 20 mph winds- yeah, cold, at least for this early in November. But I suspect your winters are pretty good for bragging rights in Calgary, even compared to ours in Minneapolis.

Well, that would only rule out the summer months here... Maybe that's why they say we have 2 seasons- winter and the 4th of July, or maybe it's winter and road construction. :)

I enjoyed your report- trips down memory lane are the best.

Love the train shot.
