I also did Grayback Rd. from Happy Camp into Oregon. Lot's of bicycle riders even on a Thursday.

While out wandering N.W.ern Ca. last week. I chanced down one of the best roads I driven in a long time. Mind you, I've wandered the west for 45 years. Anyway, I drove the 93 from the Big Foot Hwy. 96 out to Hwy 3. The first half of the road was terrific and about 30 miles to Cecilville. One...

I was on the summit of Imogene Pass(13,000+ elv.) and a FJ driver with a RTT was drooling on my Tundra with the Hawk shell. Said that's all you need. LOL

The Froli spring system is still working for me. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/7187-froli-system-bed-springs/?hl=froli

x2 on the chalk test.

40+ years I've been drinking coffee with cream. I liked the brewing process and pretty sure I've tried every which way over the years. Pour over, has been my preferred method the last half dozen years or so. New to me, I've been cold brewing last several weeks. What a difference and it's my...

If it's something you want to take apart again use silicone. Also use it fitting the drain in the sink, much better than putty.

wow! that pass and hwy. 4 is a great loop. Heck, any of the Sierra pass's make a great loop! Since buying a Miata, I've been enjoying driving again. Funnest car I've ever had, # 49.

There was a point when I was going to sell my Hawk if I couldn't figure a better night sleep. I found acceptable/better sleep with the froli system... http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/7187-froli-system-bed-springs/?hl=%2Bfroli+%2Bsystem

skamper popup $1000. not mine. http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/rvs/4399890589.html

Not what to OP asked but it has been mentioned. Yesturday, Beatty gas $3.51, Furanance Creek $5.95. That's just hiway robbery.

Enjoyed four seasons for 24 years in Spokane, Wa. Loved exploring the PNW. But having seasoned, the 3-4 months of winter cold became too much. So like the saying goes, if you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen or in my case the freezer. I'm in Carpinteria, Ca. now. It's mostly about...

I've got the same truck plus a few Ivan Stewart options. Just turned 100,000 , bought it with 57,000 in August last year. I drive it alot. The little v8 does well, hauls my loaded 1400-1500 lbs Hawk shell just fine. I do want to up grade both in the near future. Bigger truck, loaded popup...

During offseason the lower 48 N.P.'s are overlooked.

I bought a used FWC Hawk and I like it. But I have been thinking about up grading both my truck and camper. Outfitter is a brand hardly mentioned on this website. Check out their website, it has a brand comparison feature that is, very interesting.

I had an air bag failure which was going to strand me in Montrose,Co. a few days waiting for a replacement bag. I opted for same day repairs by dumping the bags and having a Roadmaster Active Suspension installed. I'm not going back to air bags. IMHO, Rubber is fine for tires but not as a major...

double OUCH ! and why a new matching full size spare is under my rig.

Off-road much?

I blew a bag and now have parts of the mounting system for sale. And one good bag too. PM if interested. 9/29 Now sold! thanks Tomas.

I blew a bag on one side and a shock on the other. I was finishing the Imogene Pass trail in Colorado and had just completed the Ophir Pass. Very rocky climb out of Telluride up to the Pass but all was going smooth until the eastern down side to Ouray. Lots of off camber stuff coming down the...

I would say stay away from air bags. They work but are prone to failure and when they do, you will have a hard time getting a replacement during a trip. Just happened to me. I now have a Roadmaster Active Suspension assist on my rig. More money but i think a better product.

this could be a great deal. Not my listing, just saying. http://slo.craigslist.org/rvs/4076012229.html

Thanks for the heads up. Checked the three states for road closures and I'm good as far as hiways. Just have to wing it on FSR's.

Another fine report Bill. Been enjoying your posts and looking forward to seeing some of the areas you've covered in your reports. I'm headed out tomorrow for a Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico borders road trip.
