Same here in Flagstaff. No snow or moisture since December. It was 61 today. Expect the FS to close the forest early this year.

You might look at the Caribou Lites which can be equipped with a manual lift, a crank lift or a motorized lift. They have an aluminum frame.

Miss the old analog odometers where you could cheer as it slowly turned over.

Not closer but one option I wish I had is the sink/stove setup in jimjxsn’s camper. I have the stock sink and stove setup in my ATC Ocelot. They work but when my wife comes with me, we sleep north-south. The bed extends over the stove which causes a problem. I get up way earlier than my wife...

Chiricahuas east of Tucson are worth a visit. There is boondocking along Pinery Creek just south of the monument. If you are lucky in the Chirachahuas, you might see coatis. There is a really sweet camping site at the Verde River Sheep Bridge in the Tonto NF. Long drive in (36 miles) and the...

I have had no problems at that altitude or higher with any of my propane stoves (ATCs, old Coleman or my backpacking stove). is Avalanche brewery/pizza still open in Silverton? Haven’t been to Silverton since COVID.

Having left Pa more than forty years ago, I still miss the pierogis and kielbasa.

WTF Welcome To Flagstaff (local bumper sticker)

I ditched my jumper cables years ago. They take up a lot of space and they can useless when you are boondocking and no one is around. Replaced the jumper cables with a lithium jump pack. Less space, more versatile. The jump pack has enough struggle that I can use it to run lights, recharge...

Was just in Iceland camping for two weeks. Saw a couple of FWCs and a couple of Sun Lites. We had rented a small camper van.

We were camping near the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and in Fishlake NF a few weeks back. Near the North Rim, there are some camping spots past East Rim Viewpoint on FSR 610. Most sit on the rim with views of Vermillion Cliffs, top of Marble Canyon and the Navajo rez, no views into the...

Add to the list: House Rock Road which connects 89A (Arizona) with 89 (Utah). Buckskin Gulch hike is into a nice slot canyon. Cottonwood Wash road north of 89 in Utah up to Kodachrome Basin State Park. Valley of the Gods and Comb Ridge. If Valley of Gods is crowded you could drive up the...

Great Basin National Park in Nevada. I have camped both in the park and east of the park in Utah. Great Basin is pretty awesome and pretty isolated. Also, the La Sal Mountains near Moab puts you in cooler camping while being near Arches National Park and Canyonlands. I have camped up by...

Around Flagstaff, the city, the county and the Forest Service have coordinated efforts to close certain areas to camping. It was done partly to reduce fire danger. About ten years ago, some campers up on the San Francisco Peaks failed to properly put out their fire and we lost the forest on a...

I have a 2013 F150 3.7L non-eco boost, 4WD, 6.5 bed, Supercab. When I bought it, it got in 20-22 mpg as I don’t drive fast. However, as I changed out the road tires for AT tires, added a camper (ATC Ocelot), etc, the mileage dropped. On a recent trip from Flagstaff to Johnson Canyon -Valley...

Growing up in western Pa, I remember the blue laws, but I also remember that you could go private club on Sundays for alcohol. Every Catholic and Orthodox church in our town had their associated club: Knights of Columbus, Polish Falcons, Ukrainian National Alliance, and so on. For vets, there...

I have an 2018 Ocelot and a big Yeti that I bought in 2013. Think the Yeti is 35 inches and it will not fit on top of the Ocelot’s fridge. Height and depth are no problem, but it is just too wide. I have the side dinette and it can ride there when table is down. However, traveling with only...

Use of Arizona State Trust Lands require a fee. It is $15 for individual, $20 for family.

Clarify a point made by AWG who states that wind power is only economical due to subsidies. That is true for nuclear, oil, hydro, . . . Consumers have never directly paid the full cost of their energy. Government has subsidized most forms of energy including nuclear, coal and oil in a variety...

Just me, but I’d replace the jumper cables with a jumper starter battery. Since I bought mine a few years ago, I have found it more useful and easier to use than jumper cables. Also, spare serpentine belt. When I replaced mine the last time, I kept the old one, which was still good, as my...

Can I ask why the 8 ft Caribou Lite instead of the 6.5?

My concerns would be frame, leaf springs and power. Tacos were not known for the robustness of their frames and did have a problem with frame rust leading to frame failure at some point back there (There was a recall.). You can upgrade shocks, leaf springs, etc, but if the frame isn’t robust...
