Temple Fork road off Logan Canyon in Utah first week of June. We were on our way to Glacier and Banff.

As an alternative, you might look at the OVRLND campers out of Flagstaff. Seems similar. A friend has one on her Taco and she loves it.

I tried those little plastic ones but found them lacking. I also try to avoid plastic products for both durability and environmental reasons. Now, I use an aluminum work platform similar to this one...

I understand that there is one at Overland Expo this weekend. Not being in the market, we elected not to wander over and look. Does the new Tacoma still use C-channels for the frame under the bed or have they moved to box channels? Seems the press release and Toyota’s website is really...

Latecomer to this discussion, but I would like to point out that EVs are often portrayed as “silver bullets” solutions, but only address symptoms of the problem and not the causes. The cause that they do not address is usage or consumption. Our life style is energy intensive and increasingly...

If you’re convinced that a pop up will do, you might look at a Caribou Lite. Last weekend I was in the Valley of the Gods camping and talked with a guy who was living full time in his Caribou Lite on a Ram 1500. His Caribou Lite Had lots of options (outdoor shower, cassette toilet, two...

When I purchased my ATC, we had two rez mutts, sisters, about 60 lbs each, Healer mother, different fathers. Having an extended cab, they travelled in the cab with us. Good travelers, always made sure they got well exercised before starting every day. We get a dog sling that hooked to the...

Loading the website takes me back to dialup days. It is that slow but without the sound effects. Once on the website, pages long fine but getting in is a problem.

Back in the 80s, my former wife and I hiked Mt Washington with our two dogs. I remember this billboard at the trailhead that warned hikers of the temperature variation between the trailhead and the summit. I think the billboard read something like, “Do not attempt this hike unless you are in...

Thanks. One of my favorite places to camp is just above the intersection of Dunton Road and the road to the Calico Trailhead. Easy access to the Navajo Lake trails, the old stock trail and the Calico trails. Plus a great place to sit with a book and a beer after hiking those trails. Didn't...

And people wonder why I prefer dogs to most humans.

Who? According to a company executive, Android will not be there till 2023. There have been lots of ideas, plans and rumors, but I think Apple is first, not by much. Article of interest: https://www.geekwire.com/2022/apple-lynk-satellites-plus-cellphones/

Must say I am jealous. The green, the water. Flagstaff, like Bend, has grown and is continuing to grow. Second homes and vacation rentals abound. Large apartment complexes being built. It has also become much hotter in the last decade and the winters are milder with less snow. I used to...

@ teledork, a while back you wrote that you had been told that if gas prices had kept up with inflation, they would be $8 gallon. There are a number of inflation calculators online. I picked one and did some plug and play. The average price of gas in 1972, my first year of driving, was...

Open flames that did not have a shutoff valve were banned. The guy accused of starting the fire was burning toilet paper. Stupid is as stupid does.

For the second time this year, we have a major fire on the San Francisco Peaks north of Flagstaff. This one is worse, far worse, than the first. Zero containment, high winds and a dry forest. This fire was started yesterday by a 57 year old man from Louisiana who had a camp fire. (Daytime...

We have two very old healer mixes. When they were pups and took them on hikes, we noticed that they were always setting up a security perimeter, one out front, one behind. Stop for lunch, they would sit facing opposite directions and continually scanning the area. My son and I once took one...

The injection of the additional purchasing power was a short term issue and mostly spent on durables. That influx is over and does not explain the recent increase in fuel prices. As COVID restrictions have lifted, consumers have shifted their spending to more service sector related...

I’m happy with my Ocelot. I decided I didn’t want any overhang as my truck (F150) was already wide enough. I don’t know if an extra six inches of width inside would make any difference for us, perhaps it would just be an encouragement to take more stuff. We got the jumbo bed so we could sleep...

I am one of those people who drove with their camper (ATC Ocelot) popped up. Drove from Flagstaff to Two Guns (30 plus miles) on I-40 doing 65 before stopping to take the dogs for a walk around the ruins. Only then did I notice the camper was up. No damage except to gas mileage. On the other...

I'm in Flag. If you're in the area, you're welcome to use my jacks. I assume ATC are same as FWC jacks.

Ditto, tax savings. I live in Arizona and picked mine up in Reno.

It is one of the nice things about living in Arizona. As an early riser, I have summer mornings pretty much to myself, less traffic etc. If you are traveling in the northeast corner of Arizona however, it can get weird. Leave Flagstaff which doesn't use DST, cross into the Navajo rez which...

Yesterday, 4.19. Today, 4.39. Guess it’s time to take up bike riding again.

Paying about 3.59, but considering that when I graduated HS it was .80 a gallon in 1974 money or 4.56 adjusted for inflation I shouldn’t complain. That said, like Craig333, I picked the wrong time to retire and go on a fixed pension. On the other hand, if I worked a few more years my wage and...
