I've enjoyed both the book and the tapes. One thing that I have borrowed from Stienbeck is using liquor as an "ice breaker" in new social settings. It seems like John could get out of potential trouble or learn intimate facts about an area simply sharing some grog. He was a cool guy.

The road first trip to Alaska was in 1995. I drove my 1979 Subaru 4X4 wagon. Made the trip in a little more than 3 days. I had been going to Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula since 1990. Flew back in those days. Fishing was good and Alaska was to me the "Last Frontier". I fell in love with the...

Hello all, Through the magic of the internet, the truck and camper have been sold in a little over a day. I will keep the ad up until the Thursday should it fall through Thank you for your interest and have a good one. Best, Erik Congratulations on the quick sale Erik . . . . it looks...

Yes. This first time I tried it, I lowered the top too fast and it didn't work. I went back to the long bungies. But then, the front of my soft sides came unhooked from the folding mechanism, and bungies can't help that. I turned on my fan with everything closed and lowered the top...

Thanks everyone . . . your answers regarding not using the the FF as a "top lowering tool" make good sense

While talking about Fantastic Fans, I have a question that I have been meaning to ask. We currently do not own a FWC/ATC, but are in the market for one. We used to own a Hallmark pop-up where the top raises and lowers via a crank system. When lowering the top, the factory recommends that you...

Cheap Screen "Door" We had a FWC Fleet for many years without the factory screen door. I had a local hardware store make an aluminum framed screen that fit perfectly in the camper's door frame. I added some webbing straps so that it was easy to pull into place from inside the camper. Ithink...

I am so stoked. I was able to secure reservations in October to do the White Rim Trail in Cayonlands. We will be spending the first night at Hardscrabble and the next two nights at Gooseberry. I have wanted to do this trip for years so I can hardly wait. I guess I'll have to. Joining me will...

Linkster, This is a pretty spectacular part of the west. We have done a lot day tripping right herr in Tucson (Saguaro, Cornado, Catalina) But never been to the Chiricahuas. I'm looking forward to heading up that way some time mid March and then the North Rim. I've never been to either. Jay-...

Jay - Drove through the campground at Cochise Stronghold during Christmas week 2007, but did not do much exploring as time was short that day. On that trip we very much enjoyed East and West Saguaro Monuments (in your backyard) and Chiricahua National Monument to the east of Chochise...

Maze District Has anyone ever driven down the Flint Trail into the Maze district of Canyonlands National Park? I'm curious if a Dodge shortbed with FWC would make the trip. Thanks for any input. Hamm - We have been to the Maze District four times over the past 25 years, twice in an 83 Jeep...

Sunman, I'm sure there will be no problem finding spaces. It is a huge flat gravel area (looks like a parking lot). We stopped at the Stovepipe Wells store (adjacent to the campground) to use the facilities the weekend between Christmas and New Years, which is a busy time in Death Valley, and...
