Ted - I want to echo everyone else's congratulations. Your entire rig looks great! Happy wandering. - Richard

X2 !!!

Ski - It was a pleasure meeting you, the Lady, and the Spiders a few weeks ago. Based on the humiliation and psychological trauma that you suffered, I would say that you have a pretty strong liability case against Jeff, Marty, et al for the obviously defective squeaking door they installed on...

The night shots are absolutely awesome! Great job!

Steve and Wink - Merry Christmas to you and your families. Steve: Don't think I know those fellows, but my brain gets foggier and foggier as I age. Wink: Used to live in Riverside. Enjoyed your trip report to Patton's training area. Perhaps we will have a beer or two one day. Best to both...

Hi Steve - I would be up for some type of WTW/Viet Vet get together, but that is probably straying from your original goal of finding a place for you and you friends to meet; Sorry if I took things in the wrong direction. Your idea of the Black Hills is a good one. I guess the choice would be...

Hi Steve - Are you thinking of putting together a reunion at a camp spot? If so, would it be limited to USMC helicopter folks? I would imagine that there are quite a few WTW members who were on active duty in the different branches of the service during that time period. Perhaps you could put...

WOW! Great photo!

I am currently running Firestone Trans Force LT265/75/16 tires.

Sometimes some of our fellow human beings just don't think. It sounds like maybe the husband was very embarrassed that his wife did not think when she first arrived and took possession of your site, hence he offered you the money. If they were simply trying to steal the camp site, would he have...

Craig-Thanks for the trip report. If you have never been there, Joshua Tree National Park in southern Calif. Is a great place to experience these trees, as well as a wide variety of other desert flora and fauna - Richard

We were in DV two weekends ago. Took some friends to Rhyolite, through Titus (wide open), camped at Mesquite Springs, on to Ubahebe Crater and the Racetrack (fewer rocks on the playa than when we were there last March), departed via Lippencott to Saline Valley, and out South Pass. Many roads...

Thanks Patrick; that is sort of what I thought you would say.

Patrick - I don't want to hi jack this thread but I have not seen you psoting lately and have a question for you. Several years ago you sold your tricked out truck and camper and bought a Forerunner and Casita Trailer . . . . how do you like the trailer? It is something we are thinking about...

We live in the foothills of the southern Sierra and have used the book "Exploring the Southern Sierra: West Side" by J.C. Jenkins and Ruby Johnson Jenkins (published by Wilderness Press, Berkeley, CA) quite a bit through the years. It comes with a map and would provide a good starting point...

X2 - Especially since your Bobcat will extend well beyond the end of the five foot long bed

When we were in Silverton last month we saw this rather unique 4x4

jlrray - Yes, it is the Deluxe Shower Shelter thing, and does require assembly - Richard

Bought new from Cabelas in 2003 - has never been used or even removed from it's storage bag. This is a nice campground accessory. Cost $139.95 - will sell for $50.00 plus shipping. I am in central California. Richard

Frank - That particular trip was in late July/early August of 2000 - Richard

Wow! Sounds like you got very lucky in 2011. We arrived at Bella Coola via the ferry early in the morning, had breakfast, drove all around town, then visited a waterfall located several miles out of town that was recommended by some locals. From there we proceeded east to Tweedsmuir P.P...

Frank - Yes, we stayed in South Tweedsmuir Provincial Park at the Atnarko Campground. Had a beautiful site right on the river. Only stayed one night so we did not thoroughly explore the area. One thing to note, when you leave Bella Coola they warn you about "the hill" (check it out on the...

As Frank and Mr. Green have noted, there is plenty of free camping on Vancouver Island and the mainland. The maps we use to find such places come from Western Forest Products Ltd. I was told that WFP maintains these campsites for employees, but anyone is welcome to use them. Many of the sites...

Hi Marty - While you are meandering back from the east coast, I would strongly recommend stopping at the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. The interpretive center is excellent (lots of Lewis and Clark stuff) and the view from the top of the arch is phenominal. That time of year will also be perfect...

So, tomorrow morning we can see how hot it actually got at Furnace Creek today. It hit 129° there yesterday, according to today's Morning Report. We are five hours away from DV, so we decided to go to Lone Pine on Sat. "Field researched" a new-to-us Jeep trail north west of Independence in...
