I'm a Toyota guy have had three SUVs since the 90s. To be perfectly honest looking at my repair history they weren't exactly cheap or over the top reliable. I'm really interested in the diesel canyon. The range would be really nice. The interior would pass the wife test. I've never owned a GM...

I drove the first one our local GM dealer got on the lot it was the loaded Colorado Z1 model. Drove very nice easy to handle in tight parking lots very quiet cabin. Interior was typical GM though. The top trim Colorado seats looked like the seats my Cousin had in his 87 Pontiac same with the...

Thanks for Sharing Cooter! From what I've read about the 2.7 it does seem to be able to get heavy work done without any drama which makes me think it would be fine with a FWC also. Our 07 Sequoia 4.7L no roof gear or trailer typically returns 17mpg on trips. Our recent trip just before July 4th...

I'm curious about it. We just bought our first new Ford in over a decade Ford Fusion Energi for the wife its an impressive machine. A neighbor just bought the new F150 2.7L and he has been pretty impressed with it he replaced a mid 90's F150 with the new one. Curious if anyone is running a FWC...

07. Id guess your right about the speed needing to be lower. Ill need to fool with it at home and sort out how to drop to 1st.

The packer at Virgina Lakes told us on the 2nd that just in the past day or so the wild flowers had really popped up due to the decent thunder storm rain fall. Great shots, that unknown tall flower stock came up in our back yard here in Moraga also. I keep meaning to try and ID it. Very tall...

Just did that drive too we were up in Virgina Lakes and came over 108. The Sequoia with 5 on board and our 900lb 4x6 trailer. I tried that 1st gear button but didnt get a response so just worked on getting off the brakes every chance I could. We seemed to make it without any fade but I was...

Sorry posted a few shots in the gallery http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/gallery/album/921-calicamperdad-eastern-sierras-june27-july3rd2015/ Thankyou Ski3pin's according to our camp neighbor it sounded like we missed quite the storm, but we did hit some heavy rain in the approach to Tioga...

First I need to thank the Ski3pin's for the suggestion of Trumbull Lake campground. Great location and perfect for the kids and parents. We arrived late Saturday June 27th due to a late departure Saturday. But we hit Bridgeport at dusk and quietly rolled into camp at 9pm and were sacked out by...

I'm in the count down for our "Big" camping trip this summer. I need to finish adding the LED lighting to our tent trailer its about 2/3rds done right now. We added a family member to the trip so we are taking our Toyota Sequoia instead of the Subaru for the butts in seats space. However the...

I just ordered some gear to build what apparently is called a solar generator. This gives you a general idea In our case we have our super super basic tent on a trailer that lacks any sort of power options while set up. Our recent trip and arrival in the dark exposed some basic needs for a...

Ok so quick campground report for Little Basin which is just 2.2 miles from Big Basin St Park located in the coastal Redwoods in the mountains above Santa Cruz. Little Basin I think is more family and kid friendly than the Big Basin campgrounds. Little basin has a huge modern play structure...

Petroglyph search combined with a Bodie trip. One day in our Trumbull Lake stay I'm thinking Bodie tour, then Masonic Rd to Aurora rd then dinner in Bridgeport prior to heading back to camp at Trumbull. Any chance there might be reported petroglyphs in that stretch from Bodie Back to...

New St Park local shake out the camping gear cobwebs trip. Little Basin ST park CA former HP retreat. Mid April!!!!May Olema Family Campground with some rookies local trip. Then June we get serious and check out Ski3pin's suggestion on the east side.

Km HP was in decline when they stopped developing new tech. No new tech your screwed. If your screwed the best and brightest goes elseware and the decline snowball picks up speed. Just glad they gave it to the state parks vs sell out to a developer.

I booked a site for mid April. Ill report back. Big Basin has been booked soilid for over a month for April. Little Basin had several nice sites still available. For sure keeping this one on the radar.

I'm sure this place won't stay unknown for long Currently it does not show up in the St parks site which is why its probably not known very well. Little Basin St Park formerly known as the Little Basin HP employee camp. I could only find two videos on line and both are pretty limited but looks...

Hey Bill your Pinnacles photo. Did you guys post about that trip? I havent been there and spoke with some folks in Carmel Valley about it. Was digging around to get some idea about that area. Oh hey! Have a fun trip. HA!
