    Photo size

    (BTW: In case someone doesn't have image editing software, the TOTALLY FREE IrfanView is a great little lightweight image editor. Even though I have Photoshop and Lightroom, I still use IrfanView for simple cropping and image-size reduction and non-critical brightness/contrast changes) Mark...

    Forest Rats!

    So I sent my cat out as a show of force... Taken in our yard earlier this week. The "forest rat" appears startled, or at least curious . . . . . our "attack cat" is totally disinterested

    Seeking Input for a Trip to Arches & Canyonlands end of August

    Over 100 there these days, not good if anything goes wrong, think vultures. Lasals are a good cool off, also some good camping in the Abajo's West of Monticello. If too warm I'd head towards Capital Reef/Torrey, over 7000'. Cedar Breaks is well over 8500, on your way back Great Basin has...

    Is this your rig?

    That was it Richard. I looked for posts by Frank and found the one with the storm flaps. I wonder if Xanterra gives him free camping for being an example photo? Here is the thread on building those flaps: Frank's flaps. Thanks Ted - You also have a strut system for extending the storm flaps...

    Is this your rig?

    Right you are, my friend. My apologies. Come to think of it, I believe I've seen those well designed window shade supports before too. :D I believe that rig belongs to Casa Escarlata Robles Too (Frank) from this forum. I'm sure he will confirm, if he is not out wandering. We almost always...

    Hell's Canyon, then NV, Ruby Mtns?

    My trip to the Maritimes is delayed but I still am making a run to Thompson Falls Montana and looking at the map it seems like Hell's Canyon, ID would be a good area to explore on the way back from there. Maybe like some good spots from Riggins but I have never been in that area. After that I...

    Bobcat + Gen2 Tacoma Question

    A quick question for those of you who have a Bobcat mounted on a Gen2 Tacoma. I am looking for a fairly accurate measurement of the gap between the roof of the truck and the bottom of the cab over of the camper. Thinking about under bed storage, or storage accessed from the outside...

    Wildflowers Blooming Headed to Carrizo Plain

    I have the phone number for the Goodwin Educational Center at the Carrizo . . . I will post it as soon as I get home this evening. If that doesn't work, the BLM office in Bakersfield is the agency in charge of the Monument; someone there can likely tell you about the bloom situation. I have...

    Anyone Camped/ Fished around Petersburg Alaska?

    Robbie - We visited P'burg last summer and were very pleasantly surprised. In fact, knowing what we now know, we would have spent less time in Juneau and more time in P'burg. Stayed at a FS campground called Ohmer Creek about 20 miles south of town. Nice sites and few other campers. With a...

    Random acts of kindness

    This morning I dropped by the neighborhood bakery to get some breakfast. I ordered a scone and then discovered I didn't have my wallet on me. I looked for it in the car and returned to inform the worker that I'm sorry but I had to pass as I had forgotten my wallet. As I was starting to drive...

    Random FWC Photos

    4 cyl, 5 speed manual trans, and I don't drive fast, and I monitor fuel consump realtime with a Scangauge II. That way I know when I'm being "fuelish". It is depressing to see how much gas I use going up grades but fun to see 999 mpg on the downgrades. ;-) If I could just figure out how to...

    Has anyone put struts on a Bob cat? If so how long where they ? I put 36" ones on my old Grandby. Thanks for any help. :D Phil - Several on Bobcats can be found earlier in this thread. Ours were installed by the guys at ATC and I don't know the size. Just call ATC and they can give you the...

    Just ordered my Ocelot!

    Hi Richard, Yes, the Dempster calls a person back, again and again. I don't know where everyone else is going in DV, but my small group will be at Saline Valley, likely between the Lower Springs and Palm Springs, but a bit closer to the Palm Springs. We'll be the ones with the fiddles...

    Outside Storm Flaps

    If so, then I imagine the clear cover on the inside would be adequate for most weather. Thanks for your help. Rob - This might not need saying, but in addition to the external storm flap, screen and clear plastic window, there is also a solid panel (similar to the external storm flap) that can...

    WTW October Pork Rally

    Just these teaser photos and nothing in the trip reports. I'm seeing a few new monikers but other than that - nada. So is this a situation where Deltarat was the only ones sober enough to take photos and recover since the weekend? Or is more of a Craig got his wish and what happens in camp stays...
