Tried a google search. I turned up this and a few others: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/131953-bfads-superflow-mv-50-air-compressor-build.html Posted this over on ExPo also.

... This shot is a combination of around 64 seperate pictures 6 position panorama with 6 stacked 13 sec sky shots and 6 stacked 60 foreground shots. ... No wonder I can't get pictures like that with my iphone :) Nice photography, thanks for posting it.

We've crossed to Canada numerous times and never have had questions about the truck or camper. I don't carry any paperwork other than my registration and insurance certificate. I did carry paperwork for our dog when we had him- vaccinations and what not. We are always asked for our passports of...

Fall color can be great in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. The Lake Superior shore is a popular destination in the fall (especially so in Minnesota) so planning ahead with some reservations would be good. There are national forests in all those states where dispersed camping is allowed and...

Great pic of Argos! Enjoying your trip reports. Thanks!

Klahanie, interesting question about the young man- My sense is he was just very friendly. He originally pointed us to a different campsite so I don't think he was looking for company- just took pity on us looking for parking. We had the best luck getting a campsite between 9 and 10 AM- taking...

Batman- you are right. In truth, we were not surprised. But if we had our druthers, we would go in less popular times. We enjoy the places more when there are not crowds while others don't seem to mind. Thanks for your comment!

Hey Smoke, never say never, right? Thanks for your comments- you are right, that's why we have pop-ups. :) Vic, the Bowman Lake road was under construction when we were there so we didn't drive it. I've heard Bowman Lake is very scenic also- maybe better than Kintla, but the campground is not...

Thanks for your suggestions about the Two Medicine area! We enjoyed that area quite a bit. Yes, we enjoyed the trip even with the downsides. Thanks for your comments! Frank, thanks for the tip about Kintla Lake- that was a highpoint. Bill, thanks for your comments. We would love to return in...

I feel your pain. I have a similar problem with Mac GPS Pro. Used to use it on my MacBook Pro with a GPS receiver- worked great at home and on trips. The company stopped updating the program for the new Apple operating system and went exclusively to the iphone/ipad platform. I have all the USGS...

We took a trip to the mountains. Luckily were were there before the current fires (but we are now getting the smoke from them). Thanks to everyone here who gave us tips for places to see. A trip report is posted to the blog. I hope you enjoy it...

Ski, nice hike- always appreciate your reports!

I had the same concerns but I pulled gently and steadily straight down and it came off without a problem. There are plastic tabs/catches every few inches around the perimeter that snap over a ridge. I'm sure they do break on occasion. I moved my fingers around and pulled down at each catch as I...

I've been using my iPhone exclusively for photos for some time and been very happy with the results. On our recent trip to the Rockies I discovered a serious downside to that when my phone suddenly went dead. It happened near the end of the day after taking many photos (I know some were really...

Here's some pics from our recent trip to the Rockies (trip report to follow): Sheyenne National Grassland, North Dakota: Teddy Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota: Lewis and Clark National Forest, Montana: Kintla Lake Campground in Glacier National Park, Montana: Little Fish...

Many of you probably already know this but I didn't so I thought I would post about my experience. On our recent trip to the Rockies our forward fantastic fan stopped working (we have two). The cover would raise but the fan would not go on. I tried checking all the fuses and the switches to no...

It is hard moving on, isn't it? We still have our blog named after our last dog Rocky. But Pugsley lives on in your memories.

Usually it is only the lower plywood portion, called the floor pack, that is modified but this can affect the front and rear wall aluminum framing. I have seen some projects where the builder reframed the whole camper but that is pretty rare. There are several recent camper remodels that have...

Saw this on the local Craigslist. I have no affiliation to it but thought someone here might be interested: https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/rvs/d/4x4-popup-grandby-four-wheel/6637189855.html

Thanks for the info. That sounds like a good book but expensive. Our local library doesn't have it. Actually, all the books on the Canadian Rockies are checked out and have waiting lists. I guess lots of people here are planning to go there.

Nice rig! Have fun camping.

Hoyden, it's hot here too. We are going to head for Canada. Should be a bit cooler there. :)

Boise, great tip. Nice camper and pooch too. :)

Vic, those look like great tips and resources. Good to get the scoop from a local. Thanks! Iowahiker, thanks for that detailed, first-hand information. I've seen the campground data on the GNP website. That is a great feature. We know we are heading into a busy time, but that's the way it is...

Vic, thanks for responding. We will check out Kananaskis Country. We like scenery, hikes and remote camping without lots of people. We also like exploring and not having to make reservations for camping so we can be more spontaneous. I'm not familiar with boondocking rules in Canada and need to...
