I agree with the full sized option and a trailer. If your wife will be nursing, she will want a comfortable space. Also, although babies sleep a lot, post partum, your wife will be nursing every 3-4 hours or so and will want to nap herself. Have grand adventures together. ETA: we had a Tacoma...

We find that we like the lower center of gravity and lighter weight. Also, the one piece roof is maintenance free and the fiberglass is easy to clean. If we were to order a new one, we would eliminate oven, stereo, microwave and opt for manual lift and add north south bed which wasn’t available...

The Private Kands layer now works. Tech support was working on some glitches so is okay now.

What I am really after is the Private Lands layer to prevent our trespassing. It was there and now it is not. OnX has a layer but it would have a huge file size.

I have taken a look at it but really want the Private Land layer on Gaia to work. I am okaying around with Topo Maps+ and like what they offer. So many app options out there.

I use Avenza to track my routes, add waypoints, plan trips loosely. I used Gaia for private lands on their Gaia Topo base layer. What I don’t like about Gaia is that you have to have the same layer downloads on each device. Nope, have to be the same as in the Cloud even tho download to your...

Thank you! I will probably check out each layer on each app to see which I like best.

A side trip north of Pinedale is the Green River Lakes area. Just stunningly beautiful. The road, once it turns to gravel, is a bit rough, but your rigs would have had no problem judging by the roads in your photos. We plan to be in the Dubois, WY area and east of Yellowstone so Brooks Lake and...

I read the whole TR this morning. What an adventure and great detailed narrative. We have been to a few places where you were and you gave us some ideas for our spring trip. Thank you so much.

I used an iPhone 13 to photograph our travels. I used to be a landscape/concert photographer but sold all my equipment last summer as I found I was no longer enjoying the hobby

I want to revive this thread to ask the following: I have both OnX and Gaia subscriptions. We are often out of cell range so I plan to download some layers on each app. I use an iPad Pro 1 tb hard drive. Which layers do you recommend for each app? We explore the west mostly maybe going east of...

Our 2013 Ute XL is still in great shape after over 80,000 of exploring the West. We have been in some very rough roads and it is holding up fine. I see Hallmark recently sold a 2013 Ute for $27,500. Ours was roughly $34,000. I hope you have many great adventures.

We don’t have poisonous snakes where we live so we try to be extra careful. Never let your guard up around rocky area and vegetation. Case in point: it had snowed in late April and we assumed, wrongly, that they would be dormant. My husband was finding quite a few agates or, more properly...

I shared this trip on another forum so will post the link to photos here: https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/gallery/album/1618-5-week-trip-id-ut-mt-nv-or-wa/ My husband was recovering from cancer treatment so we limited our range and time in the road. Our wandering included central and...

We have a 2013 Hallmark Ute purchased in October 2012 so we are coming up on ten years. We have probably explored our way around the western states for about 75,000 miles, many on gravel roads. We had several issues, several of which happened within several days if purchase. The first was a...

We had 400 watts of solar power installed in 2019 plus 2 Battleborn LiIon batteries. Before we had 140 watts and 2 AGM batteries. What a difference. We decided to get the new system as our batteries weren’t holding a charge as long and were getting old (7 years). DH is happy as he can now reheat...

Day 7: Again, we had to drive more miles just to secure a campsite. Oregon State Park Campgrounds are amongst the best and since this was a sunny weekend, the sites filled quickly. The reservation system works against those of us who are wanderers without any set destination. USFS and state...

Days 5+6: We made a 175 mile dash to the Oregon Coast to avoid the weekend crowds from Portland. 101 wanders inland after Aberdeen south to cross over the Megler-Astoria Bridge across the Columbia River into Oregon. We managed to find an unclaimed tent campsite at Cape Lookout state park...

Days 3+4: Our next destination was Damon Point by Ocean Shores, a touristy town on the Pacific Ocean. We had verified reports of agates to be found. Our campground was Ocean City state park just north if the town. We stayed there two nights as it was free (Senior Pass) and relatively uncrowded...

Days 1+2: We left on April 10 during beautiful weather. While we were away for a month, we had a bit of early morning snow, 2 days of high winds, one all day rain fest and some short durations of misty rain. But, mostly, we had blue skies and fluffy clouds. We drove to the Coupeville-Port...
