Great TR-spent many days and nights on many of those places over the years:love:! From that country and when I retired, I almost moved back, but the high deserts and mountains here in the Great Basin around Susanville won out in the end-but I still do miss those foggy days on some beach or...

Another version of the same old problem/story-with a twist. This time in my driveway when I was working on my 05 Gramby. I finished up for the day, top was still up, locked her up, and when I came back the next morning, the lock (a new one and it was not that old) was jammed up and I could not...

This sure brings back allot of memories Andy! See I was not kidding about that place. You guys can see now why I spent most of my BLM career working in that area. Transferred to the old Susanville District in 1980 and never left. Stevens camp was my second home for a few years when I was so...

I worked/played in that country for BLM for 50 or so years so make sure you call BLM at Lakeview, or Cederville or Burns, or the US Fish and Wildlife HQ office at Lakeview to get the latest area updates (you would hate to drive into a wild horse gathering or prescribed burn etc.,) and area...

SOS-as a retired BLM employee I had to go through this crap-the Sagebrush Rebellion and its variations on a yearly if not more basis for allot of years. I remember being told by our Washington HQ at one time that we should allow ourselves to be arrested when the state of Nevada said they were...

Boy you have been having fun-keep it up :)! Smoke

Yep, we have had a young male here for the last few years-probably a refuge from all the fires of late. Took my neighbor's dog last year in her patio, she yelled at it, and he dropped it - it died later. Cal Fish and Game showed up and put up some camera's out and got some nice pictures that...

The basic idea is everyone has different goals, ideas of what is fun or not, or as has been mentioned -is what your definition of comfort is, or put another way do you want to rough it or just kick back, eat good, be warm and enjoy that beer and watch the world go by from your nice comfortable...

5pm, smoke just came back in & can see the tops of the trees across the street now, just closed all the windows and turned on the air purifier, another fun night in susanville!! Smoke

Monte-almost to many fires to keep track of:cry:! Smoke

A break from the smoke this morning-have not turned on the air purifier yet :love:today! This whole area of NE Calif/Nev/Or has been under smoke/red flag warnings since Friday with fires in all directions and states. Nice fire cloud shows at night with high winds and no rain. We are surrounded...

I'm so sorry for your loss Foy! Agree with you on the paper maps and compass; it seems like with everything else these days, pushing a button on a nice electronic device is sure neat-until the battery goes out that is:(! I still carry an old Garmen in the truck to check my map location (It is...

Happy Canada Day Vic!!! Smoke

Late update! After many years of hard service (2005-22) my old issue hot water heater froze to death and died (and try to get a frozen and very expanded object through that small outside opening some time)! I (or I should say my RV meckennick did), replaced it with a tankless Gerard GSWH-2 for...

FYI-A couple of years ago, KNPB. Chanell 5 (PBS) out of Reno, as s part on its' "Wild Nevada" series, went to the Nv, Ca, Or tri corner marker. You might be able to find that program in KNPB's file and stream it or whatever way they keep it open for public access. By the way, that program has...

Welcome back, Milt glad to see you and your hammock are still sketching yourself through life. Smoke

Thanks Monte Smoke

Gee whiz-maybe history does repeat itself, and I get to tell you guys about some dead bolt problems I had a while ago-however, this time I got locked in my Grandby when a screw came loose and jammed the dang thing. Back on May 17, 2016, I posted my adventure here under the title "This is one...

Thanks Steve I think we were still young then-I think:giggle:? Smoke

I enjoyed sitting back and reading your "change to solar" experience and remembered mine and Wandering Sagebrush's experience up in the Shelden NWR in NW Nevada, almost 10 years ago and how times, knowledge and experience with things like general solar knowledge, a dying 3 in 1 gas frig and a...

It's called civilization-man the destroyer as they say! Those first men in that country followed some big horn sheep or whatever up those ridges and trails looking for dinner or that promised land yonder! Next it was horses or wagons, then ruts and a road, then more cars and overused paved...

Ya got that right-saw one Reno weather report that said temps were 15-25 above normal-hey I like it hot-senior people like it hot, I think we are like lizards because we seem to need to sit in the sun to warm up every day:love: before we can do anything! When you think that the week before was...

Yep, you Are right about that Craig! No one ever asked me about my toilet set up before-maybe all the tools and things hanging off my rig, and "I'm a Army vet" stickers and my worldly demeaner and smiling border collie scares them or something :sneaky:. And gee, I've been so proud of myself...

You are back, you r back! When you were not here the other day, it was like an old friend has just left-without a word-just a line at the top page:rolleyes:! But here you are back with a new beer to taste (that sounds pretty corny, but this setup looks nice---now will the search bar work? Smoke

Saw something on TV the other day: Ash from a fire spread around in a circle does the same thing as a rope-who knows, more myth or fact? Smoke
