Sorry all, already spoken for.

I have 13 or 14 copies of Desert Magazine from 1962 to 1974. These are a blast to look at. Especially the ads in the back for old campers and gear. Just paypal me the $6 to mail these to you. If interested email me at generubinaudio@earthlink.net

I just got back from an Alaska trip. The warm weather has resulted in all sorts of abnormal river flows catching people off guard as the glaciers melt. Along the gravel Denali Hwy, the levels in the beaver ponds have sadly receded leaving the beavers to predation. Nearly none left where there...

Anne died May 22, 2015. Sweet woman, sad loss for the community.

I'll PM you. We've probably crossed paths in Ventura before.

Hi Vic, Stashing it up north has occurred to me. One thinks of Anchorage as being close to were I'm going but Anchorage is actually 1100 miles from Inuvik. I could stash it in Whitehorse but I'd go back for it maybe a month later. The ferry system I've done before, I prefer the land route...

Hey Frank, after you left back in 2011, this is what happened:

I've been to Cabeza Prieta a couple of times. Beautiful country but sadly I had visits from both drug runners, people runners, and border patrol in trucks, and in helicopters. If you are in that area, I would suggest KOFA National Wildlife Refuge as a wonderful place to spend a week or so...

If you're at Navajo National Monument, I suggest the "overload" camping area. It is the original with the best views and few if any people. Since you mentioned Bluff, Utah. Best camping is at Goldmine Camp (free, on BLM) which is on the San Juan River under some big cottonwoods. 4wd required...

Yep, I have been up it many times. You can go over to the east side and down to Lee's Flat. Either way, it is easy on a full size. I use my Dodge 2500. It's handy to have a manual trans rather than using brakes on the way down. It's steep!

Hey folks, It's been a while since I have posted on this site. I have put in many trips into Canada's arctic and Alaska. But, alas, it has been 5 years since I have been up that way. What I am missing the most is northern BC, Yukon, and NWT. I enjoy the drive up from Ventura, CA but I don't...

That is a good book. My best friend Nina Weisman was there working law enforcement for the NPS at the time. She was friends with Randy.

I'm in on this Baja trip. Phil and I are going to try and drum up some more musicians!

Suni, I suggest highly the one day, San Juan River trip with Wildrivers out of Bluff. For camping, find Goldmine, 4 miles west of bluff. Oh yeah, and the White Rim if you haven't done it yet!

Here is a video of some locals still singing at 9 am January 1sy after already being up all night! You may have to insert it yourself into browser: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152988054277439&set=vb.810507438&type=2&theater

Andy, yes I saw that house. We did enjoy being in the village for all the social activity. We even did a mini performance at one of the eateries. We went to the Cascada, and way up the river. Our house was above the village pier and towards the point, 1/2 up the hillside.

Hello Andy and Susan, Thanks for letting us know about Yelapa. It is fantastic! Friendly people, incredible food (especially at Los Abuelos), and very inexpensive. We rented a house in the village for a week. We are already dreaming of our return trip!

This is part #2 to Phil Salazar's video of our trip, of which part #1 is a page or two back. http://youtu.be/lblTMAf5ltY

This video is most of the same of us, only one year later 2013. Great whale videos after a couple of minutes.

Greater Death Valley area is closer to you, Joshua Tree pales by comparison. Me, I'd go straight to Saline Valley Hot Springs and spend the whole time there. Good place for kids as well! Be sure to have your chains for Saline!

Some of us are likely going down again in March. Baja is very sadly being paved over. I've done it alone plenty of times. But a one person bluegrass/jazz jam kinda' sucks. So that's why I prefer to go with friends.

Ski, here is the website from a guy I know, Todd Salat "The Aurora Hunter". You will find lots and lots of info here. He and his wife have been using a pop-up for years. Don't know if he still uses it: http://www.aurorahunter.com/ Gene

First chapter of Phil's nicely produced video. Whales about 1/2 into the video:

I don't know why, I just thought you guys might find humor in this. When I was living in Switzerland and even in Algeria I used to see plenty of these Lada Niva 4wd cars. They are actually very capable, solid axle, coil sprung, and even came in diesel versions. Well, anyway, people around the...
