I haven’t seen any other news yet. The original post was by a family member on East Bay camping family’s FB group. It sounded like her parents had called one of the parks that day but never checked in. Phones last ping was Dyer area.

Ah full version!

Clear Lake campground big Trans Clear Lake sailboat race. This was like 2005. Likely 100+ SF bay sailors with their families would haul boats up. Spend the day racing around the lake then return to camp cook up dinner play cards etc. One RV had run its generator from 8am Saturday morning till...

Skis thank you for doing the Yellowstone post. It was here that I gleaned how to plan our Yellowstone trip in 2017 with the Wander West crowd suggestions. I have wondered if we would go back? Yes I think we will! Though I was just asked where too? For next Summer? Hmm? This last summer we had...

Bodega Dunes is one of our favorites. Takes me about 90minutes to get there on Friday with a 2pm start. There is a horse Ranch just across from the Bodega SP driveway that has primitive camp sites if Bodega is full, nice to have as a back up. The $35 a night is steep but that place fills up fast.

Soon, I'm in swim meet purgatory this weekend

Just wanted to thank the WTW crew that helped me plan our Yellowstone trip. We stayed in the Madison Campground as suggested. We left June 24th. Spent the night in Burley ID after a long day on the road. Then we got up Sunday and finished our drive. Arrived in West Yellowstone by noon. We...

Friendly campground chit chat. Hey nice camper! Hope you don't mind me asking.. I see you slept in your truck cab last night? Camper guy .. Oh yea that.. Long story but, Frieda the Fridge got angry and locked me out last night.. Ha ha Sounds like fun Buckland

Nice rig Eric. Check out Bucklands big Main to Alaska thread/blog he has the the diesel and did air bags added a leaf, stiffer sway bar and upgraded shocks. Very curious how his trip goes. I like the little Diesel. Maybe a replacement for my Subaru in a couple of yrs.

Leipheimer Is a regular in the local Cycling in the Marin / Napa area. Many yrs ago while on a Saturday ride with my wife and a bunch of friends. We were passed by a guy absolutely hauling arse up hill towing a damn kids trailer with two kids in it. Several guys in the group tried to hang with...

Just read about the cedar salt. Dang... Very hard to eradicate due to the root system. Came from Texas brought into the states in the 1800'

All my sailboat cruising friends agree. There will always be something trying to keep you tied to the dock. At some point you just kick the dock lines off and go. The water pump in my 28ft sailboat is 1985 original still works though I probably just jinxed my self. Hit the road Buck...

Have a great trip! I'm looking forward to reading about your adventures. The little 2.8 sounds like it was a good choice. I remember when you were debating if it was the right call.

Wow thanks for posting. A friend has one I just sent her the link. Sounds like if you know about it and pack a fire extinguisher you can probably get it handled before things go really bad.

Evacuation lifted this afternoon. Most of the evacuation folks stayed close to home from what a few locals had told me.I5 should be fine. Maybe heavier truck traffic avoiding 99. This next warm tropical storm rolling in Thursday still has water officials sweating the lake levels and dam repair...

Quick update. I have our Madison Campground spot reserved. My neighbor visits Family up near Salt Lake several times a yr. The plan is two day drive. 10hrs to Twin Falls. Then about 4-5hrs to Madison. We cruise around 70mph easily in our camping mode setup. Next is researching stuff to see and...

Wow! Crazy glad your ok. Nothing worse than tooth problems. I dont know what it is about setting out as a long term traveler. Some of the craziest health things seem to surface. I enjoy long distance ocean racing and every time I hear about scary stuff like this it goes into my "What if" mental...

Buckland have you read the reports about the rear door window getting broken on the Alaska roads? I asked another friend about it after reading another trip blog where the window was broken. Seems its fairly common. I wonder if a local glass / tint shop could do a small piece of 3M security...

Liquid hand soap makes sliding the rubber gasket easier during install. I did something similar on our boat. The liquid soap was a life saver.

The guy that created Ebay motors is a good friend. One thing he learned flood cars are a big no no the feds will get involved if dealers are caught flipping flood cars as if they are clean cars. That dealer could be in deep deep horse pucky. Your truck isnt their first flood car sold with...

Carfax will only catch reported records. The last few used cars I bought. I used both Carfax report and a vin check at the dealer, you know looking to see if it has outstanding recalls etc ;-) dealers will give you high level yes no sorta answers. With our Sequoia the seller was able to have the...

Looks like a flood car to me.
