A nice afternoon of exploring Black Ridge Road takes me to the Mee Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon hiking trailheads. A short hike followed by lunch on a cliff overlooking the town of Fruita completed a great afternoon. Now it’s time to find a place to stay for the night. I turn around and head...

Saturday – 4:00pm Towards the south of the park I take a turn off the pavement onto a dirt road marked as the way to Glade Park. A sign at the beginning of the road informs me I’m leaving the Monument. About a mile up the road and a trail breaks off on the right, Black Ridge Road – sounds...

The Zodi gave me a gallon of hot steaming water in a few minutes and I did dishes, packed up the rest of the gear and fired up the Caddy; time to hit the road!

A Hacker meets the Zodi Hot Tap… Breakfast was wonderful, now it’s time to do a little housework (dishes) before hitting the road. This means I would need some hot water. I had promised in another thread to show the Home Depot Hack I made to my Zodi Hot Tap. For anyone who’s considering one, the...

Colorado National Monument Trip Report Friday – 3:00 pm I decided to go check out Colorado National Monument this weekend. It’s located just outside of Grand Junction on the western slope of Colorado, about 4.5 hours from Denver. I debated throughout the week whether to leave after work on...

CJ8 - Which airbags did you end up with? If you get any pics of the install or the finished product, can you post them or PM me? I'd like to see the setup...

Bob- This thread is a little old now, so maybe you've already made up your mind about tire size but I can share my experience. I have a 2006 Cummins 6-speed 4x4. I swapped out the stock E rated Michelins (approx 31.5" tire) that came with my truck for a set of 35" D rated BFG All-Terrains. I...

There are some amazing photographers in this group! Nice work :thumb:

Jay - I've actually been very impressed with the factory suspension, for what it is it sure handles the rough stuff well. The only reason I'm looking to replace it is to make the truck more capable and fine-tune it to what I use it for. Increasing the ride height 1"-3" will allow me to -double-...

Jay - Good point! I've been trying to look at the positive side of high fuel costs as well - fewer people out on the road. Well, that and the fact that being out in the rig exploring the world simply makes me happy like nothing else does; I don't know how to put a price on that... Bio for...

Evening at the Racetrack

A trail to a small mining site above the Racetrack. I had lunch and a beer or two here waiting for the evening.

Teakettle Junction Racetrack Playa - Probably the most surreal place I've ever been; I left forever changed.

At the old mine On the West Side road Camping in Death Valley

Since I've been keeping an eye open for a nice used FWC Hawk I've also seen lots of similiar designs from other manufacturers (Starcraft, Lite Craft, etc). It seems like there's a big price difference between these models and true FWC/ATC campers. I know this probably has a lot to do with...

I just switched over to photobucket, I think that was half the problem. Seems like the images load much faster now...

Thanks for the heads-up. What size would you guys recommend?

The Devil's Golf Course Badwater Basin On the West Side road An old mining site above the West Side Road LOTS more to come...

So the first thing everyone said to me after 'welcome' was 'we love pictures'. Thought I'd post some pictures from last month's trip to Death Valley. It was my first time out there and a month later I still struggle to find the words to describe it. Anyway, here are the first few - plenty more...
