We'll be celebrating in our backyard- burgers and potato salad for sure. Predicted thunderstorms should provide some good fireworks. :)

Thanks for all the tips so far. Polebridge Mercantile has been on my radar for a couple of years. Maybe this trip we will make a visit. We are looking for boondocking areas near the parks since we expect them to be busy. It looks like the Bowman Lake campground fills up regularly in July. From...

Here's a thread on this problem from a while back. Some good solutions: http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/12191-camper-rain-gutters-anyone/

Summer is passing fast. Here in the north we sometimes joke that we have 2 seasons- winter and the 4th of July. Well, here it is the 4th. We got the camper loaded on the truck but haven't managed to escape yet. We have decided to do a spur of the moment trip with Banff and Glacier as general...

Very nice looking truck! Interested to see what camper you choose to put on it. :)

I was camping in the woods of northern Minnesota last week. Mosquitos are legendary there- we call them the state bird. Anyway, one of the people camping had one of these Thermacells and it worked quite well. Runs on a small butane cartridge. No odor that I noticed. The repellent is allethrin, a...

looks like serious fun! Thanks for the report.

Looks like a fine trip. Those springs look great. Thanks for the report!

When I have posted videos to Blogger, I had to upload them to youtube and then link to them in the blog. You might try that. I enjoyed your report and photos. We want to travel to the east coast one of these days- sp much history and we have lots of friends out there as well.

Juneuary, it's been that kind of a year, haha. Thanks for your report- I agree- beautiful country.

Thanks for posting your pics. Nice rig and good looking dog! I enjoyed your report. People might be interested in more information and photos on your build out.

That's a cool shot, Park!

Found this page: https://nhm.org/nature/blog/lizard-love-bites Seems love is the answer. :wub:

Looks like a great trip. Delores Canyon looks like a great spot. Thanks for the report!

Perfect kind of weekend. Thanks for the report!

Great photos as usual. Thanks for posting. I always enjoy your photos and reports of your travels- here's hoping you stick with your blog.

Summer is in full swing here, with warm temps, thunderstorms, humidity and lots of greenery (and of course some bugs). We're just about done with spring chores and getting ready to load up the camper. Will be heading up to the big lake (Superior) in a couple weeks for the annual North House Folk...

PackRat, thanks for the good story. I grew up camping in the BWCA wilderness with my family- Mom and Dad and little sister had the canvas wall tent. My brother and I shared a tiny canvas pup tent. I bet those two tents together weighed about 100 pounds, more when wet! Spent many a wet night in...

Nice neighborhood indeed! Thanks for the report!

As long as we are posting screenshots, here is one from Memorial Day here- we skipped spring and went straight to hot. No open windows here (but the A/C is working hard): Set several records including earliest 100° and warmest Memorial Day ever.

Nice work! Finishing touches are always fun. You will be camping in style soon!

Nice country. Looks like Riley had a good time. Thanks for the pics and the report.

I was feeling smug after repairing a mud flap I knocked off the Tacoma. Now I have a new standard to measure against, haha. Between you and Hodakaguy, the bar is set high! Nice job! :)

Wow, exciting! Glad it was a good outcome. We had a pack rat destroy our firewall insulation making a nest on top of the battery. Didn't start a fire, but it did eat the wiring which prevented the truck from starting. Arrgh! $500 deductible got it fixed ($1200 total cost) but what a pain. Those...

Nice report. We might make a trip that way one of these days.
