my camper jacks have been in my garage since I got my camper 2 years ago except for one time then the camper had shifted a bit after a rough road trip and I repositioned it a bit.

I can remember them doing touch and goes both at McConnell AFB and Wichita Mid -Continent Airport, the airport finally made them stop because they were tearing up the runways. It was cool to see a few Cessnas and Lears waiting for takeoff when a 52 came roaring in.

Very cool!

My Dometic 65 used to vay a lot more before I added a second cooling fan to the coils, now it stays +- 2-3 degrees F.

With the stock Surepower battery separator and stock 10ga wiring in my 2014 Eagle the alternator in my Tacoma doesn't keep up with my 2 way fridge in hot weather. I don't know if 3 ways on 12v draw more than 2 ways or not. I just changed out my separator to a Bluesea and will find out if that...

Cool, I'm sure you're stoked.

I only used it when I had a scene with a lot of range or for times, like I said, where I wanted to simulate motion blur. I did also use it at times for the deghosting feature many HDR programs have where I had to shoot long exposures and didn't want motion blur.

This is another older shot (2010) that was one of a series of bracketed images I processed int an HDR. I decided to revisit a single exposure and see what results I could get with the latest Lightroom and Viveza. I like it better than the HDR. i used to use HDR to make up for lack of range in my...

Nice shots. My wife had a P90 until it was stolen and they are good cameras. Charlie Sent from my iPhone using Wander The West

Dude managed to keep his hat too, wow. Glad he survived.

Don't blame you for not wanting to break camp and drive. When I'm in Valley of the Gods I like to just walk away from the road a ways and just sit and listen to the quiet. Lots to see even when sitting still.

Assuming you don't mind driving, Hovenweep isn't too far, Sand Island and the petroglyph panel there is closer, the drive up Montezuma Canyon to Monticello is fun and there are some petrogly[hs and a reconstructed kiva on the way.

I've had 45mph winds from all directions on my Eagle without issue. Seems I read somewhere about someone (not me) driving down the road at 60mph with their top up accidentally. Having been in 65mph winds in a RTT I was somewhat prepared for winds in my FWC, but it was still a little disconcerting.

When I ask rangers in person they usually direct me to someone who has actually been to the area in question if they have not. Most times the info I get in person is more detailed than what is posted on the white boards but there's no guarantee for sure. Charlie Sent from my iPhone using...

Having been an NPS volunteer and having dealt with enough stuck knuckleheads I can understand their overly cautious approach. Also, after a rain even if you are able to travel some of the roads in high clearance 4WD vehicles you will often tear up the roads doing so and make it impossible for...

One of the best things about RAW is that when you edit the file the original isn't changed but deltas are created, this allows you to 'undo' edits you don't like at a later date. I occasionally go back to shots I took in RAW 10 years ago and re edit them with current versions of processing...

I've not seen any complaints about the Iota, just the Surepower.

Has anyone tried opening the low point water valve under the sink and the hot and cold faucets to drain water from the lines but still leave water in the tank in cold weather before driving with the interior heat off? The sloshing in the water tank should help keep it from freezing while en...

They changed out the thermostat as well to one that was recommended here, so I think the answer is yes.

Volunteering was a bunch of fun, I hope to get a chance to do it again sometime but having grandsons has kind of shortened my away from home time. ;)

Here's on of mine of the Three Kings from pretty close to where you were:

Goblin Valley, very cool. I like the Hovenweep shot as well. I spent the summer there as a volunteer a couple of years ago, one of my favorite places.

If you spend much time in the desert I have found a snorkel to be useful in dusty environments.

PLB - personal locator beacon like this one: https://www.acrartex.com/products/catalog/personal-locator-beacons/resqlink-plb/

I travel alone a lot so the recovery gear weight is worth it to me if only for peace of mind. I also carry a PLB in case things go really wrong. ;)
