I agree with Jay, until you have had this sort of experience with the whales you can't imagine how it changes you.. Also, people need to buy vehicle insurance, in advance saves time.

Wonderful pictures Mark, especially the Pronghorns are a nice sight to see.

Yelapa, I googled it. Looks great. Something like Sayulita which is a place I've taken my son a few times surfing.

You know what the "cream" is in a Twinkie, Cupcake or Ding Dong? It is whipped pork fat with sugar.

Great pics!!!! Yes, I recognize those surf spots. I emailed the link to this thread to my surfer son just to remind him of our trips there. Maybe he'll join us on a trip again. Jay and I were in Vizcaino Peninsula with the same mud after a huge storm. It is stick stuff!

I must bring this thread back to life.................... I received The California Deserts as a holiday gift and am really enjoying it. For those of you who have traveled Dedeckera Canyon and the Steel Pass route, the introduction will capture your interest. I recommend this book. Thanks...

Excellent pictures, thanks. You visited so many places that were my stompin' grounds with my parents 50 years ago. Nice memories.

I bought the BD just to be safe. Some of the alternatives are simply stamped steel with a poor finish that may rust. Whatever, I figure another $40, nobody ever regrets buying the best.

Have you done a steering box stabilizer? http://www.genosgarage.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BD-1032005 I did all of that stuff at once so its hard to say which is the best bang for the buck but its a lot nicer now. I installed the BD Stabilizer a few days ago, changing absolutley nothing else...

I agree with Dodge posters above. I'd recommend Dodge, 2003 through 2007.5 (5.9 Cummins). Manual trans would be my preference. The manual trans is 100% reliable. My truck gets driven very hard off road and lots and lots of washboard. Front end is still fine. I did install a BD Stabilizer at...

Phil, nice pictures!

I always love your photos! Thanks.

Redwoods. Jedediah Smith Redwoods was a favorite of mine when I was 6 to 10 years old. Also, McKericher State Park for a kid with a bicycle is heaven.

Hi Andy and Susan. I am always looking forward to your pictures. Let us know how Race Track and the rest of your trip went.

Happy B-Day Gene. It was good to see you again out there in DV. Thanks to everyone!!! Yep, I am now 25! Andy, I keep watching for Saline pictures. How did you like the Race Track?

Ok, I just ordered one of these. I choose this brand over the one Hadley mentioned as I like that this one is a bit more slender, less plastic mass around the top. http://www.backcountry.com/lite-cylinder-10-lb-propane-cylinder

Andy, I use a small bulk tank for my Wave 3, I think it is one gallon, ay least that is what it takes when I get it filled. I'll show it to you at Saline. Lasts about a week. For cooking which I only do outside I have a 3 gallon tank. Hadley, this 3 gallon tank I have is what I'd like to...

This solves your problem and is the direction I went. Link I'm tired of the weight of the steel tanks. I am ready to make a change to aluminum or fiberglass but I can't decide. What made you decide on fiberglass?

I ran into Graham MakIntosh at Laguna San Ignacio about 20 years ago. He looked the same, couldn't miss him.

Yes, diesel is available everywhere, but not ultra-low sulphur, so 2006 and older diesels only (unless something has changed down there).

What's the fastest on/off road vehicle you can get? ----- a rental car.

Anne and I will be at Saline Valley Hot Springs during the weekdays. There will be a group of us. Likely somewhere between the Lower Springs and the Palm Springs.

Excellent report Mark. Thank you. I love that area and all those places. I always wondered what they'd be like in winter. Now I know.

March 30th thru April 8th.
