Very nice, so plenty of room. Thanks for the visual. I hereby award you points in the amount of your choosing.

Nice work, you won't miss the ice stops and the ruined food. Do you have a shell? I'm just wondering about where you put the Engel or how it fits into the floor plan. Bonus points for a photo.

We have certainly noticed the change in our recent travels. Colors in both British Columbia and Montana are starting to show (not just the August browns but some gold in willows and aspens). Speaking of shorter days, it was really noticeable being at the Yukon and BC border, and travelling...

Thanks for the trip! I'm getting caught up a little late as we were just heading out on a trip to also escape the heat when this popped into the inbox. I especially enjoyed part one, as I grew up fishing Angel Lake as a kid (at 70 or so miles it was the closest body of water to home), and spent...

As already mentioned forget the app, get a couple bubble levelers and set true to the bed or whatever is crucial to you to be in level, in two angles, never runs out of batteries and doesn't need an update.

I agree some keys are easier than others! Weeds of the West has a lot of terminology to get lost in, you almost need to know what you are looking for to find anything in that one. If you know whether leaves are opposite or alternate or whorled or basal, the flower color and shape/number of...

Nice report and great pictures as always! Looks to me like the Swell is definitely worth a visit.

Thanks all. Yes, the carnitas were really good, and we still have one dinner waiting in the freezer! Add that to some nice scenery and not a lot of people and you have a couple nice trips.

I'm just getting caught up on a couple trips we did over the last month or so. I'll post both reports here. The first trip was up to Elk Creek Falls and the Giant Cedar near Elk River, Idaho, and then we ventured over to McCroskey State Park to have a look at it: Elk Creek Falls and McCroskey...

Yes, we've plugged it into the 12 V outlet, and no, no overheating. I would say that results will probably vary based on your particular electrical configuration, I know there is a lot of variability out there. I don't think it's a high risk to plug it in and give it a try on a half hour...

We charge our 1000 all the time when driving, it has always worked well for us, just remember to unplug when not driving, or keep an eye on it, if you want to charge from solar. Although if you aren't driving you can just plug the jackery into their own solar panels assuming you have them...

I always look forward to trip reports, but Milt's are one of a kind. Thanks Milt. Anyone else having trouble viewing the first 9 images though? This is what it looks like for me. The remainder of the images are there.

It is always great to get a shakedown trip in. Looks like a good one. Looking forward to future adventures.

What a great trip, I enjoyed all the installments. I was surprised to learn about the meaning behind the name of Picture Gorge after all the times I've driven through it! I highly recommend the book "The Cattle Country of Peter French" if you can track down a copy, for some good reading on...

That is great, thanks for sharing a piece of your trip, and I'm glad we inspired you to get out, especially to Mojave National Preserve. I feel like that place has years and year of adventures ready to reveal, similar to Death Valley as you noted. Kind of funny about the door mat, I was...

Here's the last couple chapters of the trip, finally! Thanks to those who followed along, I hope you found some inspiration for future travels, or at least enjoyed a story, or photo along the way. I know we had a grand time. South to Spring | Anza Borrego Part 3 Video: Wildflowers and Washes...

Here are a couple more posts, a video from Organ Pipe National Monument and part 2 of our visit to Anza Borrego. Only a couple more posts and this trip will be in the rear view mirror. Video: Escape to Organ Pipe | South to Spring Episode 5 South to Spring | Anza Borrego Part 2

Yes, the fee collection and reservation is a common source of frustration for me, but Joshua Tree is over the top. Vic, I agree on the tradeoffs of trip reports vs more time on the next trip, or just outside. Which is one of the reasons why it's taken a while to get this report to the finish...

Here are a couple more updates to the trip report. Yes there was an Anza Borrego part 1, and there will be a part 2, but first we headed over to Arizona and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument for a few days. The wind sort of blew us there, and it ended up being my favorite stop of the trip...

Thanks Vic and dr.tucson for the heads up on the pictures for the Anza Borrego post. I've replaced the photos and I'm hoping they are now visible. This is something that has happened on a couple posts, and I'm not certain of the issue. It's difficult to troubleshoot as they show up across all...

Three more updates to the trip linked here. Finishing out our time in Joshua Tree and we moved on to Anza Borrego: South to Spring | Conversation With a Ranger Video: Strolling Through Joshua Tree | South to Spring Episode 4 South to Spring | Anza Borrego Part 1

Oh yes, mud season. It's somtime after stick season. Vermont does have its own seasons, and the news release is also correct about having one of the worst cell networks to be (not) found.

We were in the path for the last one. The big concern was that is was the height of fire season and people going off road in dry grass and starting fires. There was a lot of planning that went into dealing with the traffic, and we set up an incident command post to deal with issues, but in the...

I have a few more updates to our trip completed. As we continue south we spent some time north and south of Barstow and then a couple days in Joshua Tree National Park: Video: Meandering the Mojave | South to Spring Episode 2 South to Spring | Beyond Barstow Video: Rock Art and Rough Roads |...

I have a few more installments posted to the blog, covering our time on the Mojave National Preserve: South to Spring | Mojave National Preserve Part 1: Caruthers Canyon South to Spring | Mojave National Preserve Part 2: Hole in the Wall South to Spring | Mojave National Preserve Part 3: Kelso...
