Lots of nice folks sharing a group camp area in the Sierra.

Thanks for all of the compliments. It’s coming along. I’m trying to at least get it sealed up before the winter weather comes. Once it’s sealed, I can work on the interior.

So, I've been wanting to build a flatbed camper for quite sometime now, but I wanted to wait until I retired as I knew it'd be very time consuming. I retired at the end of June (2022) and a couple of days later, I got to work. I had already ordered most of the materials i.e. aluminum, door...

Did you have to beef up your rear receiver hitch in order to carry the MC? It looks like you may have had to add a receiver hitch extension and that'll put more weight on it. Curious as I'm looking to do something very similar.

For those of you I've camped/explored with in the past, you all know that I never went anywhere without my big, sweet, hairy Yellow Lab, Dexter. I lost him August 29th and I wanted to post this memorial of him to all of my friends on WTW. Here's the link on my blog: Dexter's Memorial

I made my annual pilgrimage to the Black Rock playa for their Perseid Meteor shower campout and service trip. As usual, it was a lot of fun (except for the heatwave that was in effect). Here's a link to my trip report if you're interested: Friends of the Black Rock/Meteor Shower Campout 2021.

You're not considering the Dodge Ram? I just picked up a Ram 2004 5.9L Cummins diesel with only 133k miles on it and it's gorgeous and runs like a top AND, it gets better mileage than my Tacoma. It took a few months of consistent looking, but it finally popped up. I'm planning a flatbed...

Awe, now how am I going to know where to turn off 395 to go to Death Valley? That's always been my landmark to turn, when I'm not paying attention. That's too bad.

Nice TR. It's neat to see so many of my favorite places through the eyes of other people. Thanks for posting.

I also wonder if the fact that XP was in California contributed to the company's demise? I have friends who have businesses in CA and they all have horror stories about its regulations, restrictions, high taxes, etc.

Post some pics!

I love to be hunkered down in my warm dry camper as a storm rolls through--kind of like being back in the womb I guess. Thanks for sharing AND I noticed you went with a bigger font on your blog. My 53 y/o eyes appreciate that.

We were in the same neck of the woods. I was coming back from a glorious week (6 days) at Saline Valley and I saw a lot of pop ups, but I missed you all. I'm glad you were able to grab a sandwich at Schat's. When I went by, the place was a mad house with lines out the door, so I had to...

I'm making my own hats now, see my first two on my blog: The Aimless Roamer I'm already looking for some straw hat blanks, as I'll need a lighter hat when the warmer weather arrives.

There was an episode of The Sopranos where Chris and Paulie were stranded and survived a cold night in the woods on ketchup and relish packets. It's only a 39 second video clip, but it's pretty funny.

Thanks for sharing your trip. I love S.V. and really soak (no pun intended) up any TRs related to it. I've definitely noticed a uptick of visitors at the springs since I first started going there. I've heard that Instagram is the reason.

I made my annual pilgrimage to Death Valley's, Saline Valley Warm Springs. My trip report can be seen here: Saline Valley, Nov., 2018

I'll be making my annual November trip to the Saline Valley Hot Springs the week of Nov. 5th. If there are any other WTW'rs there, look me up (Toyota Tacoma w/ an AT Bobcat).

Glad you’re okay and sorry to hear about your rig.

My local Costco had the Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300 for $99. They told me that it was kind of a fluke thing that they even got them in and once they were gone, they were gone for good.

I just picked up a really nice metal detector at Costco and I was wondering if anyone uses these while out "wandering the west?" It seems like it would a fun thing to do while out and about, especially near old mine sites and ghost towns. I know there are a lot of rules/laws regarding metal...

Hi Carl, absolutely beautiful photography, especially your NM night shots. A coworker and I (both from NM) were wondering if you'd share your lens, f-stop, shutter speed info. with us for those balanced rock and Shiprock pics? We're just getting into night shots and we have a lot of darkness...

Thanks for sharing you TR. I've gone to the Alabama Hills over Labor Day weekend and although it's busy, the place is so spread out that it doesn't feel cramped. It's kind of been my "go to" place for Labor Day, plus, there are so many nice trails and places to see along 395 that it makes for...
