    School me on 1982 Honda CT110

    I just took delivery of a near mint 1982 Honda CT 110. I know just enough about it to be dangerous. I'm not a moto guy at all. I'll try to get some pics of it tomorrow. Headed to Baja Friday morning so not a lot of time to check things out for a few days. It's been garage stored, last...

    Inflatable pad between camper/truck roof

    I desperately need one of those inflatable pads. It sure seems like someone had a link to them, but I can't find it.

    Cheap handheld HAM

    For the price, it can't be beat if it works at all. No affiliation, a buddy on an email group found it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BaoFeng-UV-5R-136-174-400-480-MHz-Dual-Band-DTMF-CTCSS-DCS-FM-Ham-Two-Way-Radio-/321041288848

    Pop up Camper run

    It seems that most of us that use our trucks/campers for our travels are out there by ourselves more often than not. I know that my set up would never keep up with the groups I generally run with. Anyone have any interest of getting together this spring for a jaunt through Death Valley...

    Ocean Kayak Malibu Two

    Anyone have experience with this boat? My wife wants to start snorkeling. I towed her around with a tandem kayak while she snorkeled on our last Baja trip. The kayak seemed to fit with the snorkeling idea quite well. Online reviews for this boat sound like it would meet my needs. Room for...

    2012 Baja 1000

    Where to start in the story of our 2012 Baja 1000 adventure? Some back info…we have worked the BFG Pits for the Baja 500/1000 races for the last 7 years or so when not chasing with Dust Junkies Racing. At this year’s Baja 500 we were informed that our BFG crew drew the Bahia de Los Angeles...

    Thanks!

    ...to all of you that post pics of your work on line. I'm not a photographer by any stretch, a couple of adult school classes at the local high school over the years taught me the basics, but that's it. The composition of some of the photos is amazing to me. So easy to turn a simple photo...

    Death Valley President's Day 2012

    ...as I remember it! MattO, and Machelle and I headed out from Santee Friday morning. A rather uneventful drive to Ballarat where we found Brad and his brother Nathan. The plan was for some friends of Nathan to meet us at 9AM Saturday morning and travel with us through Goler Wash/Striped...

    Icom IC-V82

    I have a brand new, (taken out of the box 7 days ago and turned on) Icom IC-V82 handheld radio. I've also got the 12v adapter plug for the charging cradle and an additional battery pack that uses AA batteries. My issue with the radio is the charging cradle, there is no way around it. The...

    Aluminum tent poles

    I have an REI Hobitat tent. It came with aluminum tent poles. It seems that most of the more expensive tents come with aluminum poles as well. What am I missing, why are the aluminum poles better? Mine are all slightly bent, where a fiberglass pole wouldn't be. My tent has been in some...

    Warm PJ's

    Our 18 month old grandson is going to be going to the desert with us this Thanksgiving. He'll be sleeping in his playpen in an enclosed trailer, but no heater. My daughter says he tends to push blankets off at night. I'm concerned that he's going to get cold at night. I'm trying to get our...

    2011 Baja Extravaganza

    A couple of months ago Eric Filar proposed a week long trip tour of Baja in mid April. Machelle and I had our first taste of the Sea of Cortez side of Baja while chasing last years Baja 1000. We said then that we had to come back and spend some time there, little did we know that it would be...

    Sea Eagle inflatable kayak

    I've got a beach camping Baja trip planned for April, Sea of Cortez side. There are lots of relatively flat water lagoons. I'm looking at getting a decent but cheap inflatable for two people. Some quick research on the 'net and I found the Sea Eagle 330, and the Sea Eagle Pro Sport in my...

    Dumb question

    I ordered a Marlin 1894 Cowboy (.357 caliber) from a local gun shop last August. They told me when I ordered it that it would be 6-8 weeks before I'd get the gun. It's now been 7 months, and still no gun. I've been assured that the gun is on order, just not available. I'm in no hurry for the...

    Sun Lite pop up camper

    I did a search, found little info on the Sun Lite's, other than one poster that said don't get one. Here's the deal, I already have one. Rarely used, and stored in a barn by the first owner, it was immaculate when I got it. It's a 2000 model SkyHawk SB. Apparently designed to fit in a...
