I stayed at Valley of Fire last March. A few things to know. If you want to stay in the campground you need to show up between 8:00am and 10:00am and be lucky. There is disperse camping before and after Valley of Fire. Both are shown on Campendium. The park is very popular. Get out early in...

I enjoyed exploring and camping in Panamint Valley last February. There were less people than Death Valley.

Wonderful report. I need to plan a fall trip to the area to see the fall colors.

You may enjoy reading about Daniel Tickner who's name is prominent at Register Rock (City of Rocks). It is an interesting story. Technical Report 130 (npshistory.com) It starts on page 26.

Here are my comments. Nevada State Parks do not have a camping reservation system, but there were very helpful when I called or emailed them to get a sense of how busy the campground was. Cathedral Gorge is impressive but isn't large. In a couple of hours you can see it all. Be sure you walk...

Thanks much for posting your trip report. I had an enjoyable time viewing this as I drank my coffee this morning.

Thanks for sharing this information. It encourages me to do more digging into the facts around Green plans. I'll be looking for other sources since everyone seems to have their own bias. One simple step forward is for everyone to assess their own energy usage and see if it can be reduced.

Glad to see that you ventured out on a trip. And thanks for taking us along. Your aerial photos are a joy to see.

FYI there is a new book published. Oregon Rocks - A Guide to 60 Amazing Geologic Sites by Marli Miller. I just received my copy and I think it is great. Good for those with a casual interest in rocks, yet it includes some detail information for the geology nerd. Following is a link to an...

Thanks for giving us the good news about the surgery.

Thanks for the trip report. I've never been to that area of the country. Looks like I need to put it on my todo list.

I too enjoyed the bare cottonwoods against the sky on my trip. Your pictures are enjoyable and bring back memories of me trying to capture the cottonwoods. Thanks for your blog post.

That's all folks. The trip report is finished. As always, if you have questions, feel free to send me a private message.

Thanks for the report. I wish I was there.

I've had the trailer for about five years. The trailer is 15 years old. I think it is holding up pretty good. I had the axle flipped to give me better ground clearance. Plus I had the front tongue modified to fit two batteries. Maintenance issues have included: The oven door glass broke while...

I left Seattle mid February and am now home. I had thought I would do some blogging along the way. But one of the themes of the trip turned out to be: no cell service. Here is the first post. More to come. (being added to this post) I will not locate special places, but what is a special place...

One challenge is what to do with the dogs when you want to run into a grocery store or museum. I have a gun safe that I have cabled to a seat. I put anything worth stealing into the safe. I then leave the windows down when I leave. There is nothing to steal except my dogs (horror if that...

All good comments. I'll add, have an outdoor rug for your dog to lay on instead of the dirt. Keeps your vehicle a lot cleaner.

Back in the fall of 2020 I hatched a plan to head south the first of February in 2021. The plan was to get away from the cold and wet. Drive south on I-5 to Bakersfield and then head east and explore towards Death Valley. Then covid hit California hard. Driving through California didn’t seem...

Thanks. That sounds encouraging. My "south" is west of Texas.

Today as I watch the snow fall I've started thinking about next winter. Do I want to become a snowbird? It makes me wonder how hard it is to find places to spend the night to camp. I wouldn't want to stay a long time in one place. I would like to travel and explore the south without camping...

Thanks for the explanation. No magic.

I ran across these flexible panels on the web. They claim to not have the heat problem. Anybody know anything about these panels? Recreational | Sunflare (sunflaresolar.com)

That Tiger is nice. Is there anything like it being manufactured on the west coast?
