    Summer Thunderstorms Have Hit Death Valley

    People just don't realize the impact of flash floods can have in the desert. Still remember, that while doing field problems in the Arizona desert while in the army, we were looking for a place to camp for the night.

    Driving on gravel roads, use 2wd or 4wd ?

    I spent a good deal of time for 30 or so years, driving on those gravel roads during my career in BLM as a part of my job description. In addition, I spent many miles of play time on those same roads and there is no one right answer as to whether or not you use or don't use 2WD or 4WD because...

Got a whole bunch of new neighbors with 24/7 barking dogs here (and chickens too!); however, not my "Bob", he only barks for a good reason, like when they come in his yard without permission.. Besides, it takes time away from more productive activities like looking for...

    RFI Burney Lassen Area on 4th

    Anywhere in that country could be a zoo on the fourth, especially near Hat creek. or the Pit River. In addition, boon docking could be a problem because of the heat wind and grass-pay attention to red flag warnings and if you think you have found a neat place, call the proper land manager to...
