Brian - In 20001 we took the BC Ferry from Port Hardy (northern end of Vancouver Island) to Bella Coola, then drove hwy. 20 to Williams Lake. Stayed in a great campground in Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, right next to a meandering river. Prior to the trip we had read on the internet about the...

We too were at OX and spent some time in that Fleet prototype . . . . . love the under bed storage. The use of space and technology employed in these small campers is pretty amazing. We bought a used Fleet back in 1992 and camped it for 10 years. The differences between that one and the new...

One more from the same camp.

Ether - There are countless places for dispersed camping in A-B. It is one of the few places that still encourage that type of activity and you can camp almost anywhere as long as you: 1. Are at least 100 feet away from water 2. Bring a metal container to hold your fire 3. Do not obstruct...

We had a 2003 Guanella with the basic roof lifting system. We carried two 40 pound kayaks on the roof on a trip from California to Newfoundland/Labrador and were worried about damaging the roof lifting mechanism, so on our way through the Denver area we stopped at Hallmark. Here is what we...

Bodie is a great idea, however, I would check to see if it is accessible this early in the year. The Park phone number is (760) 647-6445. Where ever you end up going, have a great time.

Our 2010 Bobcat also came standard with the extended bed. We use it all the time and sleep north/south. We are both short and could sleep east/west but prefer the n/s arrangement to make it easy for both people to get up in the night without disturbing the other person. that being said, I...

And a few more.

What a great weekend! Thanks to Bill for setting the rally up, and to Brian and Randy for the extensive scouting, geo-tour, etc. in my opinion, the rain actually made things better, as the dark skies, clouds, and pockets of sun added great visual drama to the Carrizo landscape. here are a few...

We will arrive early to mid afternoon on Friday. Bringing a pot of what we call "cowboy beans" (in the mild chili family). Bseek, we have one seat available and you are welcome to ride with us for the tour if you wish.

Bill - We will plan to arrive mid-day on Friday.

We have made the trip many times. If we are taking "first-timers" to the eastern Sierras or Death Valley we almost always take them up to Cerro Gordo (or at least part way up, depending on time) because the views to the west of Owens Lake and the Sierras are spectacular, especially early in the...

SeatoSea - We did NB, NS, Newf., and Lab. in 2003 with a previous camper (Hallmark) and in 2011 we went to NB, NS, and PEI with our current ATC. Due to time constraints on the 2003 trip, we did not spend nearly enough time in Newfoundland or Labrador and plan to return in early 2017, so are...

Good advice from Ski. Be sure to get the latest weather update. We spent Mrs. Link's 40th birthday in late April camped just off the road on Hunter Mt. and got snowed on pretty good. This was some years ago, but I better not say exactly when or I could get in trouble on the home front :).

Nice TR Steelhead. We must have just missed you; we camped at the junction of Marble and Cottonwood Canyons this past Tuesday evening. We saw lots of FWCs and ATCs during our recent brief trip, I'll bet two of the ones we saw belonged to you and your brother.

Spent several days in DV earlier in the week.. Bloom is waning, but still worth the trip. Had a great time talking with the Sagebrushes. In the two days that we were there, we counted eight FWC or ATC campers (not counting ours or pop-ups such as Palaminos, Skampers., etc.). Far and away the...

We are heading to DV this afternoon and will stay through Wed. Hope to bump into some of you that are already there. We are in a silver Tacoma double cab with a white ATC bobcat camper. Not sure yet where we will camp. Since we are entering the Park from the southwest, tonight will likely be...

Sorry to hear of your girl friend's injury. X2 on Anza Borrego. Also, you are about three to four hours (175) miles from OrganPipe Cactus National Monument. We were there for the first time about a month ago and were very impressed. Spectacular scenery and the NPS camp ground was excellent...

Good luck, guys.

Frank - On two different occasions we have taken a half-day trip out of Seward around Resurrection Bay. Relatively inexpensive and the wildlife viewing is excellent, with a wide variety of birds and mammals. There are lots of campground options on the Kenai Peninsula. Also, we had a fabulous...

Please count my wife and I in. Like Tuff Guy, I have been to the Carrizo many times on field trips. The roads do get quite muddy following rains, but there are lots of really interesting things to see there. If you are coming in from the north or east, be sure to stop at The McKittrick Hotel...

Here are a few additional comments to further complicate your planning :) At Mojave Preserve, look into staying at the Mid Hills CG instead of Hole in the Wall (higher and prettier IMO). Also, drive to Carruthers Canyon (without your trailer). While in southern CA consider Anza Borrego...

We met Kay and Ray at the Valley of Fire (near Las Vegas) last month. Nice folks with some great stories about their last two years on the road. Hope to see them again sometime. Good luck Captm and Mrs. Captm . . . . keep us posted on your journies.
