One additional benefit of that shelf . . . . . it's where we put our "pee jar" at night :D .

As Charlie and Paul T stated above, this may not be part of the design scheme but building it that way does make it easier for two people to pass one another, makes a good shelf to set things on while entering and exiting the camper and is a great place to sit when lifting the rear of the roof...

Thanks for another interesting and nicely photographed trip report. Please pass our best wishes to Julie on the upcoming surgeries. Your cousin, "the Big Guy" hit the nail on the head . . . . with all of the hiking that you two do, her knees have earned some reinforcements! - R & G

Congratulations, Ted and Mrs. Ted. Hope to see it and you in person one day when you're out and about.

We just did the Vegas to Beatty on 95 trip last week. One of the free campsite apps. recommended Brambo's Pond shortly before you get to Beatty for free disbursed camping. We passed it in the early afternoon and there were a bunch of campers there. A bit too crowded for us and we were not...

Thanks for another amazing TR. It seems like the research that you two do prior to heading out almost always pays off. Marble Canyon has long been a favorite of ours but now you have provided new inspiration for a return trip.

Like Patrick, I am a nonuser of any social media platform but my wife has a Facebook account.

That is the Piedras Blancas Rookery and as "goinoregon" says, it is an awesome place to view the elephant seals . . . a "don't miss" if you are in that area.

Sorry to hear that, Bill. Hope you both feel better soon. My wife and i received our second shot on Friday (the 12th) and suffered no ill effects other than soreness at the injection site. Glad to be inoculated. .

Congratulations to you both on your new rigs. i am not going to show this thread to my wife, as she has been making noises lately about bathrooms and pass through capabilities :) . Happy trails to you both.

Take a look at these. They solve most of the issues that PaulT mentioned regarding the Brophy steps. We have had the two step model on our F150/Hawk for four years and absolutely love them. A bit pricy but in my opinion, well worth it. https://www.easyhitchstep.com/

Scene #1 - Camping trip in southeastern Utah Bill: "Hey, Honey, where's the paring knife?' Sally: "In the silverware drawer where it always is." Bill: "I don't see it. i know you ran it through the dishwasher after our last trip . . . are you sure you put it back in the camper?"...

Also, I believe that i have read on this forum that the corrugated aluminum is lighter.

Truly uplifting! Thanks, Ski

"That said, I wouldn’t want to do a lot of work with it. For real work, a full size shovel strapped to the Yakima bars is my preference." Probably true but don't forget that a lot of "real work" was accomplished during WWII, the Korean conflict, Vietnam, etc. with small folding military...

Very cool, Steve. Thanks. Happy Thanksgiving!

For years I have always carried one of each of these. Each works well and takes up little space. A few weeks ago someone on this site suggested carrying two shovels so that should you become stuck, you can enlist your friend, wife, etc. in the getting unstuck process. I thought it was a...

As has been noted above, this is a special place. I only hope that it does not become too well known and over run with visitors like so many other special places have in the last few years.

The fire closest to us, the SQF Complex (also known as the Sequoia Fire or the Castle Fire) started on August 19th and is currently 61% contained. Smoke has been a constant for most of the past month and a half with only a few days where any blue sky was present. Last week our cat was coughing...

On June, 30th, 2013 we saw online that it was going to be exceptionally hot in DV so we decided to go there to experience the heat, and take a picture for our annual Christmas card. Though he digital thermometer reads 131 degrees, the DV Morning Report the following day stated that it was...

I had a different but similar experience to Mr. Sage. In Feb. of 2017 I picked up our new Ford F150 and a few days later went to my local tire guy to get five "E" rated AT3s. He discovered that someone at the Ford factory had installed the wrong lock, so it was impossible to lower the spare...

Check out Bogart Safe Jack Systems. I think they have exactly what you are looking for.

Craig - I agree with Wallowa; you could turn that into a sort of modified loop trip. We live about 50 miles from the western end of Sherman Pass and two weeks ago, accompanied by Tuff Guy 62 and Tuff Chick from WTW, we went west to east over SP, then worked our way up 395 to the White Mountains...

Ski - That was a particularly complete and pristine habitation site that you came upon . . . thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mr. Sage . . . . very nicely done version of that song. Thanks for introducing me to Foxes and Fossils; I will look for more of their stuff. The header says "This is Dedicated to the one I Love by the Mamas and the Papas" but true fossils (as many of us on WTW are) might recall the...
