Chaco Canyon (NPS campground), New Mexico - Aug 2015

Had an interesting discussion about catholes and human waste disposal with a Ranger in the North Cascades NP in summer 2015. Having been an Army Infantryman for about 7+ years on multiple continents, I have dug my share of holes and dropped my deuce in many a foreign and sometimes hostile...

I have to look at shadows on the road while driving to tell if it's still back there.

Good news, the Atwood receptacle and original wire and thermal breaker from the F150 extended cab installed in the F250 crew cab just fine... I was worried it would be too short given that the new truck is a foot or more longer. The holes were measured in the bed and drilled, but came out wrong...

Now... how do I post some of the 1TB of video?

Thanks for that info!

Thanks very much, I use the 4-pin trailer plug for my little Ruger gear trailer anyway, so I need it, although not taking it for this trip. As for chipping... personally, I've never been guru enough to think I know more than the folks who do vehicle design and research. To me, that's like...

Got the world's most expensive oil change yesterday... went in to the dealer to get my F-150's oil change/fluids checked/lube and tire rotation, and left with a completely different truck. Sitting on the used lot was a 2010 Ford F-250 SuperCrew with the Cabela's package and a 6.5" bed. An...

I have carried a Weber Q120 (great cooker but bulky), their little rectangular model (only one burner tube down the center so uneven heat), have tried charcoal (too many places not allowing fires during dry season) and settled on a Bass Pro high-output two-burner propane stove. I've had issues...

Don't the bugs and dirt on the camper get all gummed up and stuck in the wax?

Sure, all the National Park gift shops are pretty good. Wouldn't want to buy everything there, but they have some genuinely nice items. But the Trees of Mystery attraction (where you ride a ski tram for 7 minutes through Redwoods) has the largest and worst collection of Made in China, unrelated...

Frame grab from some timelapse video I shot at Bryce Canyon in September 2013

Also known as Trick Falls, there are two separate water entries (upper and lower) of this scenic falls. The falls are a short nature trail hike (handicap accessible) over on the east side of Glacier Park, as you head for the Two Medicine area. Running Eagle, aka Brown Weasel Woman, was a...

Great article, hope to see you on the road sometime.

Great pics and a fine report. Thanks for sharing!

I put Firestone Destinations (E-rated) on mine, they have been quiet and not hurt mpg at all, definitely improved the wobble-factor on my F-150 4x4 with Hawk mounted. I run 55 psi in back when I have the trailer hooked up (Ruger C416 carying lightweight gear, clothes, stove, camping accessories)...

We have an Engel MT35 that fits perfectly under the rollover couch seat on our Hawk, inside the cabinet base. But the wife was always jamming it very full of stuff, and because of limited door access, it's a bit tricky to get stuff in and out of. This last trip we saw a small Engel MD14...
