Thank you all! We are headed north in 4 days. I'm sure we'll have a fine time!

Thanks Aitherious for all the suggestions!

I'm 64 and am fortunate enough to have only minor joint problems so am still putting in some pretty long miles on the bikes. When I can't pedal anymore I'll probably break down and buy a motorcycle. I guess I don't understand the appeal of the motor assisted bicycles: It seems like just a way...

Aah! That worked great. The number of postings is almost overwhelming!

This is a great resource! Thank you. I spent a little time comparing it to the Backroad Mapbooks that just arrived in the mail; Most, if not all, of the Recreation Sites appear on the maps in the mapbooks; so a great combination of resources.

I was able to find nothing in the Canadian Rockies when searching the map on the home page. Am I missing something?

Thank you all! My apologies for taking so long to respond: I was out camping.

Thank you Vic Harder. That Forestry Trunk Road looks like just the thing we are seeking! The hiking guide looks fabulous, expensive but fabulous.

Guy Clark died this morning. I'm pretty broke up... Here's a fine piece about Guy's life: Guy Clark dead at 74

Thank you all for your input! I will order a couple of the mapbooks this evening. Bad Habit, is this the website? http://www.ghosttowns.com/canada/bc/bc.html Looks like I'll be spending some time combing through it! Bill D, thanks for all the insider tips! iowahiker, the trip reports and...

N and I are planning to spend some time wandering around the Canadian Rockies in July and August. Neither of us have been there before. We would appreciate any help that those of you familiar with the area can give us in getting a grasp of the camping possibilities in Alberta and B.C. We have...

We used to see this regularly here in West Marin. Well-meaning animal lovers with very little understanding of the natural world find "abandoned" young seals and decide to "help" them. The first thing they notice about their new little "friend" is that it feels cold to the touch... Time to...

I love your trip reports Milt. My wife generally ignores WTW, but she insists that I let her know any time you post a new trip. We enjoy not only the art work but your relaxed narrative. Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what your question is, but if you give the bed manufacturer the model and year of your truck and the size of your tires they should be able to make a bed for you that will not rub on the tires. If you want to know whether the tire will tuck in behind the skirt, measure the...

N and I had a great time! It was nice to meet some of the cast of characters here. Brian's geology tour was the icing on the cake. The Carrizo Plain is a beautiful and diverse place. Unusual signs: Wildlife and Wild Flowers: Tumbleweeds: And some very fine scenery:

Thanks Bill! I will be using this.

We will make goat cheese and roasted bell pepper quesadillas for the Saturday pot luck. Brent

Very cool and very capable machines, but wear your sound-deadening headphones when driving it and don't expect to set any land speed records!

Fabulous! So that was you in the White Ford in Cottonwood Canyon? My apologies for not stopping to say hi.

My flatbed is an All Terrain Camper, not a Four Wheel Camper but here's the build thread if you are interested. http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/topic/11117-a-little-different-camper-build/

N and I can be there Thursday to hold down a camp spot.

He's looking at the navigation app on his phone and muttering "Maybe there's a reason this road doesn't show up on the Triple A map..."

Thanks! Here's the link for the hinges (Note they come in a left and a right.) http://www.hardwaresource.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=6344 I used the "lightweight" ones and they work fine, but if your lid is any larger than mine I think the heavier ones would be better.

Hi super doody! My apologies for taking so long to respond. I was headed to Santa Cruz to visit an old friend who is a bicycle framebuilder. We have a couple of projects we're working on together.
