    Something up there doesn’t like me

    You might try Goo Gone. I've got off some weird stuff with it. Orange based. Of course try it on a small spot first. Got some stuff off a painted towel closet without stripping any paint. Took a couple applications. https://googone.com/original-adhesive-remover I have not tried the newer...

    Arizona? (And NM)

    I took a trip October this year and the high country in eastern AZ was cold and there was snow around Alpine. There was lots of free dispersed camping but a 20 degree night froze my plumbing until I used the heater for some time in the camper. Super windy around Pinetop Lakeside as well

    Macerator Pumps - Anyone Use These?

    Had one in an old van way back when. Not my favorite. Take a cassette type any day.

    Yellowstone and Grand Teton NPs-2021

    The friends we spent four days with, stopped at the Old Faithful store early on, to pay us back for some food they ate of ours. I told them that was unnecessary, especially since they would have to lug it around, or they could of done it on the way out. To make it worse the first bag got soaked...

    South of Yellowstone

    Greetings We are going to be in Yellowstone in a couple weeks. When we leave we will be going south to Jackson and eventually home to San Diego area. We will be looking for dispersed camping in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. It's a big area and I am unsure where to look. I have a 4WD Ram...

    Happijac turnbuckle information

    Yeah I reused the turnbuckles on the new rig. Had to buy new Torklift tiedowns however. 2021 not the same as my 2005.

    Happijac turnbuckle information

    Greetings all On my Lance 650 I have struggled keeping the rear turnbuckles tight. I asked myself rather I was tightening them too little or too much. Also I heard Happijac rear turnbuckles were stress-guard type. I did not know what that meant. Happijac shows the innards of the fronts that...

    Renovating an 87' Four Seasons Magnum

    It is always satisfying to see folks renew and modify homes away from homes.

    where are you all getting your camper insurance?

    AAA had an addendum for our camper on the truck to give it full coverage. It was financed so it had to be insured. Not sure how much cost it added.

    Halloween 2020 - Palomar Divide Truck Trail

    Jeanne and I decided to get outta town for the day and go to an obscure road that only a few people know about. It is on the east side of Palomar Mountain where the Palomar Observatory is in Cleveland National Forest. Forest is a relative term. At the top it is pine trees and some sycamores, but...

    Valley Fire 2020 - San Diego County

    For those of you who don't know the most common type of fire we have here in San Diego County here are some pictures of the Valley Fire 2020. Cleveland National Forest is primarily dense brush which burns like crazy when something ignites it, especially in September hot weather. Stupid people...

    What format do you use to get your highest resolution?

    What format do you use to get your highest resolution?

    I am not a Nikon shooter but from what I can see from sites your file size is because you are shooting jpgs versus Raw (Nikon=NEF). Your cropped sensor D500 takes a large image if shot Raw but compresses the image (makes it smaller by removing "unneeded" pixels when you shoot jpgs. Raw files...

    Vacation Detour - Bearizona

    Craig 333: No smoke I could smell. There was haze in Grand Canyon. Could not tell if smoke from far away was mixed in. Grand Canyon is normally hazy (or in winter filled with low clouds). California gave me a sore throat and burning eyes.

    Vacation Detour - Bearizona

    Started a trip to go north on Hwy 1/101 a week ago. Too much smoke. Headed to my brother’s place in Williams Arizona. Went to Bearizona for first time. Quite cool. They are expanding the place yearly. Most of the animals are rescues or problems to people, so they get many animals...

    Lowlight of Utah Scenic Byway trip 2020

    The search for a dispersed camping site can be an "adventure" especially when stupid drivers don't listen to their wives. As Dirty Harry says "A good man has got to know his limitations." I do not have pictures of the incident. We were on highway 34 in Idaho late in the day trying to find a FS...
