    On The Road w/ KC ~ August 6 - ?

    Thanks once more, KC, for this entertaining and stimulating account. Your images, both photo and word, are exceptional. We're still under a layer of smoke here. The "Burnt Fire" in Utah is "completely under control", but this still means that a bunch more smoke will emanate from it. Many of...

    air bag suspension

    AZCPP, that sounds like a nifty set-up. I have Firestone air bags on the rear of our F250 with in-cab controls. I run about 10 psi when there is no load and as much as 60 psi when pulling the ATRV or when we have a big load in the truck. I also noticed when I picked up the Horizon a couple of...

    new pop up for us!

    Good purchase, Chet! Bet you'll enjoy it. 235 tires. That's neat. Have the springs been inverted? I like that awning out over the doorway. That's a great feature. Allen R

    Remote Watering Hole

    First one is Diana watching of all things the "evening news" at a bar on the Orange River (S. Africa/Namibia border). Second one is on a remote beach on the Sea of Cortez approximately N 29º 55', W 114º 27'. Precise location given only after presenting proper credentials. :luxhello...

    New Sportsmobile

    Wow, nice rig, Tad. Welcome to ExPo! There are a bunch of us who would love to have a SMB...and diesel too! Great pick! North of the Mammoth Lks turnoff from 385 and only a couple miles north of the 'Loop' road to the west, FSR 2507 goes east past Owens River Ranch out to Long Valley and...

    Purpose of a blacked-out hood?

    Here's an interesting article from Car Talk re: car colors and interior heat. http://www.cartalk.com/content/links/carcolor.html If you want more, just do a search with 'car colors interior heat' as your parameters. You'll get a BUNCH. Seems that there's no concensus on the subject. Allen R

    On The Road w/ KC ~ August 6 - ?

    Well, KC, we're disappointed that you had to alter your plans and therefore postpone (NOTICE: postpone) your diversion by Shoshone, but we've enjoyed immensely tagging along via the ethernet on your trip. The smoke's bad here today also. Two more fires cropped up SW of us and the Snake River...

    Budget expedition

    I agree, and BTW welcome to the forum. You can see from my sig that two of our vehicles are full-size trucks, albeit both are 4WD, and from the photo it looks as though your Sierra is 2WD. Not to worry, we drove our '60 Ford longbed 2WD all over Baja in mid-sixties and though I stuck us a...

    Haze, Haze, Everywhere!

    Here's an interesting link for active fires. I'm not sure what size they have to be to be called a "Large Fire". http://activefiremaps.fs.fed.us/ You can see that there are several large ones burning in N Nevada and the Snake River pulls that smaze up our direction. It's hazy right now. I...

    H3 anyone?

    I think the H3 looks like a JEEP on steroids, but, nevertheless, we've paid close attention to HUMMER even before the H1 was marketed. I'm old enough to remember all the flack that Willys took when they began to market the JEEP. Many of the same criticisms I've heard about the Hummer...

    Post your Camp Recipe's

    I've waited until this thread had more 'meat' to the postings to read all of them. Now it's 1300h and time to go graze in the kitchen. Oh yes, my favorite recipe is to take the main ingredient to ALL our fine dining around a camp stove...the person below and a couple of the entrees. I'll come...

    On The Road w/ KC ~ August 6 - ?

    Absolutely first-rate narrative and photos, KC. Keep 'em comin'! I don't know about atheists in MT, but we agnostics don't have a problem. :) We love GNP. I believe that next to the Great Basin NP it's the least visited and that means fewer persons. We tried to get into Canada via the west...
