Yes, there are still places to go. For us fortunate/lucky/hard-working few. The masses do not have the option. I pity them. I brag about and post pictures of some of the places I have found. Not all of them. My last trip to Patton's Desert Training Center left me distressed because I found...

You could chase tornadoes in that. I want one.

My jacks stay on the camper. The mileage difference is close to unmeasurable. I WILL pull them off in a tight spot to avoid damage. They help level and stabilize in camp. Yes, they are ugly, but I am not in a beauty contest. Those days are long gone.

Dang! I was looking for an outdoor table and completely forgot the indoor table is moveable. DOH!

It omits a lot of southern California, but I can hear "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head". If you get the reference, welcome to the Old Fahrts Club.

These campers and this camper. :)

After driving for miles on and off-road, setting up camp and fighting off the local fauna, it looks a lot better from the inside! Thanks, Jay!

Wikipedia- "Johnson Valley OHV (Off Highway Vehicle) Area is a tract of BLM managed land set aside for recreational use by residents and off-highway enthusiasts. The OHV Area is bordered by Interstate 40 at its northernmost point, at Highway 247's northern leg to Barstow at its western border...

We went up north a while back to pick up a jeep, but we just spent one night in a campground. This time we went for real. The first night was in Johnson Valley, easy-peasy, I've been there in a car. On the road to our next place. That signpost up ahead... Morning at Desert Training Center...

A couple days ago we pulled in for gas in 29 Palms. I pulled in behind an F-250 with an FWC on it. I was just getting ready to talk the the owner when I saw him tying a wimpy little gas can onto his rear bumper using a twisted up plastic trash bag as a rope. I decided not to approach him. :o

I just read a report that a 2 wheeler truck made it over the north pass. The driver must have exceptional skill. The south pass is much easier at this time. Here is a link to the road conditions threads. http://forum.salinepreservation.org/?forum=162656

I can clean up artwork and make useable DXFs. Let me know if you want help.

Saline is an awesome place. One of the last wild unspoiled places in the USA. You can drive for many miles and not see a man-made object other than the one you are in. The springs are for the social crowd, and I use the word "crowd" loosely. Last time I camped near the bottom end of the old...

Good job, Mr. Ambassador! Perhaps somebody, somewhere, could make new decals so we cult members can identify each other on the road. Robes would probably scare people away. So goat leggings are out, right? Darn.

Politically incorrect joke. Forgive me. A ventriloquist cowboy walks into town and he sees this Indian sitting on the side of the road with his dog, horse, and sheep. The cowboy walks up to the Indian and says, "Hey, that's a cool dog. Mind if I speak to him." The Indian looks up at the cowboy...

Captioning photos of people locked out of their truck before it runs out of gas... ;)

It goes against my hardcore redneck reactionary core to say this, but sometimes I think the liberals may be correct. It seems that sometimes people are too stupid for their own good. It makes me ashamed to be of the same species.

Maybe a wee bit OT, but I sighted it. At least it wasn't Nessie or a UFO. :D

I am in full agreement. Tell us the plans and the progress. Detailed blueprints would be nice also. ;) I subscribe to the minimalist philosophy also, so one of my goals is to eliminate the water tank completely and just use stowable rectangular water jugs. Just take what you need for the trip...

I was ready to order 2 when I saw a few negative reviews on the LL Bean site. Now I am not so sure.

I had never heard of an XPCamper until this thread. They look so nice I wondered why I didn't get something like that instead of my ATC. I dled the price list, and now I know why. :D

People have been getting into and out of Saline Valley, but they have had to work for it. Very little specific data is available. http://forum.salinepreservation.org/?forum=162656

3M 5200 marine sealant. This stuff is good. And permanent. Don't use it if you plan on taking it apart soon. :D http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3A5200%20sealant

Monday I saw 2 or 3 FWCs on a flatbed heading south on the I-5 near Sacramento. Does that count? :D

I was in such a hurry to load it up and start home I forgot take a pic of the loading. Here it is covered snugly at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds RV park. Another shot showing the Puma in use for the first time. Somewhere in central California. Home! More. Yet more.
