Thanks Bill for putting this information together. This area is now on my todo list.

Thanks for sharing. It is inspiring to make a similar venture.

I’ve been out traveling through Idaho. I really enjoyed it. Not all of my blog posts are done, but there is a good start. Maybe in the next couple of weeks I’ll get them all done. As always, if you have questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message. And know that the blog doesn’t cover...

Thanks for your comment. This is a whole lot cheaper than the item I had found. But I wonder if it will go far enough for me, needing for the signal to go through the van wall and a building wall too. Hum. I'll think about it.

Thanks for the ideas.

I enjoyed camping in 2016 above the Moki Dugway in an area that is east of the overlook. Drive the road to the overlook and when somewhat close to the edge, look for a road going east. There are lots of places to camp and call home. Outstanding view. Hopefully the area is still open for...

Does anyone have experience with a remote temperature sensing device that uses cell phone technology to send temperature data to a cell phone? I found one on the internet called MarCell. I'm looking to use it while in a grocery store or museum while I leave my dog in a camper van. I'm getting...

Vic: Thanks for pointing out the metal breaker. I have one and had ignored it since I didn't know what it was. Not good. Now knowing what it is, I placed a wire jumping across it and... no change to the amps in the battery monitor. I'll go back to doing what I know - cleaning and...

Thanks. I would love to go see the rocks, but I can't figure out where they are. However, I did discover Natural Bridges by Terry, Mt. during my search. They look interesting to see.

Thanks for your thoughts, Bigfoot. I checked the trailer circuit breaker near the battery. It is good. I've had the truck engine running when checking. Due to my solar problem, I've visually checked all the trailer wiring and connections except for where the wires enter the trailer and...

I let the batteries get down to 93% charged, plugged in the running truck and... nothing happened. No change in the amp reading. I'll have a mechanic test the 7 pin connector on the truck. I did try testing it with a volt meter but I'm not sure if I got the volt meter touching the connector...

Thanks much. I'll give that a try tomorrow.

On my last trip the solar wasn't charging the batteries (now fixed) and I then noticed that the truck wasn't charging the batteries when I was driving. I saw some corrosion at the 12v location on the trailer plug but I wasn't brave enough to work on the plug while on the trip. Now home I...

Thanks for the info on the BLM Recreation Map Series. Although I like free info, those maps might be worst it when planning a trip. I always want to escape the milling masses.

I put together a blog post for my fall trip. Not much of a story, but that is how the trip went. Fall Trip | searching for the middle of nowhere As always, if anyone has questions, feel free to send me a message.

FYI I found out that InReach doesn't work in dense vegetation. I walked in the Redwoods for about two hours and a location signal never went out. The Earthmate app displayed a notice indicating it couldn't get a signal out. Interestingly the Earthmate app knew exactly where I was. Later I...

Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Visiting Colorado is on my to-do list, so I pull out my map when I read you reports and glean every speck of information you provide. Thanks again.

What an interesting place. With your description of the trail, I don't think I will ever attempt the hike to see the site. So, thank you much for sharing your photos - the only way I'll see the site.

Thanks for sharing your photos. The ones of Monument Valley made me pause; they are so wonderfully different than the classic photos one sees. And of course, I loved the rock photos. I appreciate the time you took to include an explanation of the geology.

Thanks for another stellar trip report. The upper Imnaha and the White Clouds are now on my todo list.

Disclaimer: I don't understand electricity, I think it is a bit of a mystery that when I turn a switch a light comes on. Here is something to think about, or maybe this doesn't apply. I'm in the middle of ordering a camper van. I asked if I could use my lithium house batteries to jump...

Ah... there is so much to see. In my working days I hurriedly drove through some of the places you are going to visit. One suggestion is to go see the Yankee Fork Gold dredge east of Stanley. My second comment is rather vague. I remember driving the road Hwy 93 north of Challis and being...

I live in the Seattle area. I think that staying in the NW this fall will have some advantages compares to other places. Since we have had such a cool and wet spring (summer too?) we may not have many wildfires to avoid. Although there may be smoke coming up from the south. Also, with the...

Thanks for the trip report. I'm thinking about touring eastern Washington this fall.

Thanks for the info on experience. I don’t plan on rock crawling, just driving to windy places and driving washboard and potholed roads. Seems like I’ll go with the Transit AWD with a 2” lift and drive it for a while to see if I want to do anything more. FYI Quigley has a Ford certified 2”...
