Ive had a Megamat single for many years. Been very reliable until this year. It has developed a slow leak which i have not been able to find. No experience with their warranty. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was hoping you meant a prop to hold the lid open when you’re digging for a cold one. I currently use part of an old pool cue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I made a mistake by mentioning Texans and derailed Jerry’s thread. Can we get back to his Journey? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We did a trip there about five years ago. I agree it is a very special place. However some of those steep roads into the canyons, across the river, and up the other side were pretty extreme. Our leader lost a friend who rolled his Jeep off one of those narrow roads just a week or two after he...

I suppose my favorite destination was San Ignacio in Baja. My first time there was November 1970. We we’re returning from just having raced in the Baja 1000. Stopped in San Ignacio for a little R&R. Just happened to hit some town fiesta. Great time hanging with the locals until they cut off the...

“…and as usual, we found ourselves alone in the wilderness”. Wish i could say that. Colorado has become the playground for half of all Texans. They think they own the place too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I recall once camping near a mountain lake in the Snowies of Wyoming. There were tons of Pikas in the rocks. They would squeak over there and my dog ran to them but of course they dove for cover before she got there. Then one would squeak at another spot and off she’d go. I have no doubt they...

I think you could pm any of us along your route if you needed help. Be aware that we have lots of wildfires all over the west. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I still post trip reports under the backcountry and adventure banner. But i don’t do near as many long trips as i used to. Short trips I have posted in the Retired Ol’ Farts planning thread. I find posting on Facebook so much easier that’s where most of my reporting goes. I like to let my...

Flower and sunset photos were pretty cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Always interested in the cabin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You pictured me correctly. Id be at the waters edge absorbing the booms as the surf crashes down. But i grew up around water, hitch in the Navy and a career in water resources. Just about every chance i get I’ll dump my TC into low range and go play in the sand. Sometimes i get stuck too...

I drove up into Canada in a February to get a new trailer about 15 years ago. On the way home I drove down the PNW coast. Washington was solid rain but when i hit Oregon the sun came out to stay. It is not supposed to be sunny in winter but it was. Like Jerry i stopped at every beach access i...

I met the “dirty rotten scoundrel” once and he’s not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
