Terry, For some reason the photos don't show up on my screen—probably some electronic toggle switch that I haven't thrown—but I get the idea with levels. My method is not as easy and needs replenishing each time. I spot "Harry" where we think is the most level, exit the vehicle, open the...

BX, it'll be good to see you both. We should be in house through 11/20. I'll send you an e-mail w/ more details. And, oh yeah, athwartship has a better ring than breadthways, doesn't it? We don't know for certain. In addition to the stove we have a propane lantern that stems up from a...

Here's the result of our "fly" project. The entire kit, including eight poles, pegs, and cords, weighs approximately 16 lbs. We decided to have the final area be a 20' X 20' square and have grommets placed about every 24". The tarp is bound with a reinforced hem and is 5.5 oz wt, about half the...

KC, I'll bet you bought one for Tripod, the three-legged dog there. :) If I could only teach "Scooter" to take pictures, I wouldn't have to break my neck getting into the picture. August 2005 on Dempster Highway. Allen R

Nowhere distant. Dove season opens Saturday. Allen R

Yes, we do. First met George maybe five years ago. Four? Can't remember precisely. I think the first contact was through DataStorm Users Forum. Found out he is a cancer survivor, as is my wife, and he stopped by to see us in CA. After that, we caught up with him in Baja, Arizona, and just a...

Ara, Today you've met up with a good friend of ours "Tioga George". Dang, what a small internet world. Just found out on George's blog. What a kick. Allen R

I have several and fish with all of them. A couple are old Wes Jordan (old Orvis) rods. "Duckie" Corkran, who bought Orvis from Charles Orvis, hired Wes. They're great rods. Both are 4wt (different lengths). Great line control on the 9-footer. I also have a 5wt Phillipson. It, too, dates from...

Boss! Tell us more. Allen R

We have the Horizon with the Chaser suspension. Allen R

On our recent trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, we had two DO "experts" among our five guides. In addition to all the other wonderful facets of the six-day float (rapids, fly-fishing, hiking, eating, and drinking) I used the evenings and mornings as a seminar on DO-cooking. I...

We've carried a "fire pan" for years. First came in contact with one on a river trip in the mid-70s and thought it was a good idea. There are several on the market these days from various companies. Some have cooking grill attachments. I found ours at a junk...uhhh, excuse me...re-cycling...

Welcome to ExPo, Electron. You say that "...when completed, the first role of the trailer will be to haul stuff only... ." That's all we put in "Harry", our Horizon trailer...but, oh my, what STUFF. Of course, it's always 'stuff' that we might need, which means that about half never gets used...

Rob, Thanks for the clarification re: the different types of diesel stoves. Of course, on our boat, we had the added advantage of being at sea level. :) Allen R

One of the items we had on the Conqueror was a 20'-diameter fly that covered the entire trailer, obviating any need for a fly cover on the tent entrance. Today, we towed Harry over to a tarp fabricator and ordered a fly. We didn't give them the exact measurement yet because they told us that...

We came close to owning an ER. For us, it still boiled down to the question of having to break down camp in order to go sight-seeing. We like having a trailer or tent instead. I have to disagree with Rob, though. We had diesel everything on our trawler and it all worked fine. No complaints...

We still have not unpacked all of our boxes of books, but it seems to me that the Michells in Vol. I of Great Basin SUV Trails have a description of that trail. I'll see if I can locate our copy before the 23rd. I think the book is OUP but you may be able to find a copy somewhere. Allen R

Great thread idea. Thanks for starting it. I like your LED mods. Think I'll do the same. We're in the beginning 'design' stage of ladder handles at the top. Having the ladder simply end at the deck is a bit uncomfortable for egress and ingress. I have a fabricator around the corner looking...

Nice report and fine photos. Thanks! Allen R

That looks to have been one great gathering. Sorry we couldn't make it. We're not prone to joining large groups, but I believe that this one would have been an exception. Anyway, the size didn't keep us away, just preparing for a trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon this week. Great...
