OK, I have a little trip plannning here and am open to any suggestions or ideas. I have a few required stops, the first being Thompson Falls, Montana, to drop off a foster dog (he doesn't know it yet). :huh: From there, as the map shows, I am headed East, North of Lake Superior (someone here...

I know the refer can be replaced with 12v compressor- like the small one I have in the truck. Make sure that is not a cheapo cooler/warmer thing, not the same. If it didn't cost $600 that is not the low draw unit you need. BUT.. what about the stove.. and a furnace- That would take a...

Gee, what I just came across on Yahoo: Meanest Major Carrier United United came in last place among all major airlines on our 2011 Meanest Airlines list with an AQR score of -1.31. United had the second-highest customer complaint rate (1.64 per 100,000 passengers) of all airlines in 2010...

We had the billboard warning us but as you can see a comment was added after the date came and went and nothing transpired.

:o My sympathies, never had one nearly that bad but after one disaster I quit most flying and took the motorcycle regardless. At least I have some degree of control.

Well this boy finally has a new home! We have had him a good 6 months and now he will get a home in Washington :o Foster group kind of screws this up but he has a good family so I will drive to Montana next month to meet and exchange. I had to drive North anyway so a few hundred miles extra...

Sad to hear. That's the hard thing about dogs, when they leave. Sounds like he had a great life with you. I usually can't last long without a dog buddy.

. How do you manage to keep your camper and truck clean with all that hair? What to do? I traveled to Alaska and Newfoundland with three and some times 4, a couple that shed. I don't keep it very clean, I have an older camper and don't worry about upholstery, a rug on the floor to be shaken...

Yesterday while coming back from another old motorcycle retrieval mission, this time in Oklahoma, I stopped at the NM weigh station and they were happy to give me the figures. 1999 F250 7.3, 4x4 extended cab. I was the only occupant, full tank of gas (38g), some water and gear/tools, and a bunch...

Has anyone else spent sleepless nights in a FWC because of heavy rain? The roof is LOUD! I mean, tin roofs are romantic but this was ridiculous. Like drums. Try some hail and 50 mph+ winds :lol: Kind of like being in a Cessna in heavy rain :( Funny I did the same "let's go up this...

Trailers certainly have their benefits, cargo is more secure, there can be more of it :D , weather protected but of course more weight, more wind resistence, forgetting and pulling into a regular parking spot :angry: . Not knowing where I can turn around down the trail is a concern as well. I...

Mr Moody are you related to Mr. Happy?

I thought I would post the link to Wilderness Volunteers: http://www.wildernes...t/about_who.php Some pretty interesting stuff on there!

"Robert Fitzpatrick, a doomsday believer and retiree who sank almost all he had -- $140,000 -- into warning fellow citizens about the impending end, told the New York Daily News he did not understand what went wrong." Ouch, just think of the nice camper he could have bought and all the places...

Well, Saturday is here and so am I. Nothing happ I think they said 6 pm so you still might be toast. And of course that is only the start of the 3 month deal so they can string you out.. Hope no one goes any more whacky when nothing happens :o

Rumor has it that Camping is worth about $ 72.000.000. May be he could leave that money to the state parks as a good christian deed. Frank A former civil engineer, Mr. Camping, 89, built a small nonprofit empire in radio, going from a single station in San Francisco to more than 200 radio...

So is it going down at like 12 midnight? What time zone? Rolling blackouts :huh:

I was there Saturday and the smell of the charred building still permeates the area. Seems like there are plenty of rumors about how or why it burned, no definite cause yet.

Us too. Traffic is always a nightmare. One of the better perks of being retired. I try to plan my camping away from weekends, especially holiday weekends. And of course it is Memorial Day so I want to remember those who aren't with us.

From the New York Times: Nonbelievers, they hold, will be left behind to perish along with the world over the next five months. So I would guess many of us have 5 months to run up the credits cards on booze and hookers! More: Ms. Douglas and other believers subscribe to the prophesy of...

I just called the Lady at work. We're dropping everything and taking off on a quick trip since the high price of gas really doesn't matter anymore! Thanks Ted for the reminder that time is short! Yep, might as well run up the credit cards!

I I got some cargo nets from McMaster Carr. I removed the sliding door under my stove and put shelves when the fridge and furnace were and when traveling use the nets to keeps stuff in place.

I had to get a new switch from the auto parts store, all well after that.

I'd have to laugh if it was true :lol: We have the billboard as well, sounds like a good excuse to celebrate.

Nice trip. The dogs don't chase deer? The Black Mouth Cur, brown dog, loves deer chasing more than life itself! He restores the balance of nature by reintroducing predators into the environment. He wanted the alien deer but in a National Park he is usually leashed. In Big Bend one time I was...
