Outstanding! Thanks everyone for the help and the great ideas! Cheers! :D

Hi! I've had my Hawk on the back of my Toyota Tundra since I purchased the camper 4 years ago and have never taken the camper off. I don't have a level place where I can store it at home, so I'm planning on taking it to a RV storage place with level ground or hopefully a cement pad. I guess my...

We’ve waited out the storm and plan to head out tomorrow to the Lassen-Modoc-Warner area in NE California. We may be a bit limited as to where we can (comfortably) go due to snow elevation at roughly 6000’. Does anyone have suggestions for nice primitive dispersed camping spots (around 5000’)...

Consider McGee Canyon (just across from lake Crowley) too. Just went backpacking there and it is supposed to be spectacular for turning aspens. Not as popular as Rock Creek. One quiet FS campground, $20/night.

Thanks Lighthawk & MarkBC - your info is really helpful.

Thanks for the ideas - sounds like the Plumas will be our goal.

On our way to the Warners in a couple of weeks. We'll be camping around Mono Lake for night one, after a jump over Tioga Pass. Looking for a night spot north of Tahoe/Reno area. We don't want any long driving days, but I think this might be one to get to a scenic, non-populated, dispersed FS...

Had a couple great camping/hiking trips there about 15 years ago. Large campground with services, secluded tree-covered camps. We went a couple of years ago in February to stop on our way to the coast. Yikes. The nicest parts of the campground were closed and the brush/trees needed...

We're about to head to the Warners too. This will be our first trip to the Modoc Plateau and are getting excited by the photos and trip notes posted here. I'll check out your route on the map. Wondering if I can good maps downloading on the ipad?? We'll head over Tioga Pass to the East side...

got some planning to do! Again, many thanks for the information! I'll sit down with my maps and a cold beverage this weekend to plan a fun route now that I have all these options. I drive up to Woodland next Monday to have the Hawk installed and I'm pretty darn excited...should be a good trip...

I leave for Montana in a couple weeks and will be headed out from Truckee, CA. I'd like to visit some friends in Twin Falls ID, so my basic route was going to be: - I80 east to Wells, NV, then up Hwy 93 to Twin Falls - Hwy 93 from Twin Falls to Missoula MT I will take it slow and leisurely...

Sounds like it's full steam ahead (but slowly) Sorry for the late reply...getting ready for the first of a couple trips this summer..busy busy... Wow! Once again, many thanks to folks for all the great information!! Tomas, good suggestion: the rig I have is a 2002 4x4 Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD...

We’d like to plan a trip with our new Hawk to Monache Meadows in the Sequoia National Forest. The jeep track in is reputed as being fairly rough, rated as a “class 3”, whatever that means (I’m not familiar with the difficulty rating system). This person posted this information...

I use this when I can't cook over a fire and am happy with the purchase. You can even use the lid as a wok or a basin for washing up afterward. If you have to feed more than two, it may not be big enough. ttp://www.safarichefgrill.com/ Any probs with packing up a hot grill?

Crookedtail, we have a 2007 hawk and put a memory foam topper on top of the factory mattress, we also keep our flannel sheets and comforter on and it fits fine with the top down, all we do is take the pillows off. Older models cannot do this but newer ones have more clearance. Hi...

so much stuff! I've had a bit of time to compile and digest all this good info and I like the idea of cooking outside when the weather and bugs allow. What have folks had the best luck with in terms of storage and use? - Coleman style propane stove (recommended type?) - small BBQ grill -...

Thanks for such a comprehensive list! We will be well prepared!

thanks again OK - I'm going to make a list and post it back here

More on wine... These are $235 + shipping for 100. I'd buy 4 or 5 now all you need are a few more people. I love the idea. But am not ready to start retailing wine cozys. I found this version online...

Wow! I am said husband heading to Montana this summer with our new Hawk, and I must say that I'm very impressed by the great response we've had to our Noob questions...Thanks! The two weeks in Montana will be a great "practice" run for the real adventure that I'm sure is to follow :thumb: To...

Forestry is not in his background. Actually his course work in hydro was through the geo dept. Should've know that there were some rock hounds in this group - they always go to the best places.

DD: He used to be a geologist, but jumped ship to hydrology a few years ago. In the long, long far ago we met on a geology field trip in Death Valley. And this pic is from the racetrack (after taking the Lippencot Mine road from Saline Valley) (fun to look at your post re: your big DV trip)...

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful and quick responses! DD: he'll be studying hydrological systems in an experimental forest. He'll be looking at riparian restoration and modification or something like that. its a science thing. The field camp has a lot of facilities, so he should be set on...

Next month my husband will pick up our new Hawk (standard with 3-way fridge, furnace, screen door, jacks, aux battery & extended cab). From the factory in Woodland he'll continue onto Montana to spend 10 days in field training. By then the truck should have Firestone Ride Rites. So here's the...
