    A Blazer Chalet on Craigslist

    This one is a bit different, in that it was set up with a HAM radio station. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/1979126778.html It is the same one as seen in this HAM site: http://www.qsl.net/ae0q/ I emailed the Craigslist seller for the serial # and build date of the camper unit, but if this...

    Anyone know of a suburban camper build?

    Been a while since I talked to him, but last I heard, he never did get a Chalet shell. There was one briefly for sale in Fargo ND, but then the seller refused to answer any calls or emails I and several other guys made. Never heard from him since or heard of any sightings of it. I also did a...

    Imogene Pass Run

    If you think that Imogene run is intense, you ain't seen nothin'. Check out this Silverton-to-Silverton run http://hardrock100.com/ Myself, couldn't run more than a couple of hundred yards up those inclines, but the photography at that site and ones in the past is simply stunning.

    The error of my ways / good mpg 4x4 Motorhome-in-a-phonebooth concept

    Sold the Blazer Chalet I'm a cautious fella, I don't like going below a certain pure cash reserve amount to pay for emergencies like my crazy high insurance deductible, or an exploded engine in my daily driver car, etc. And since restricted weekend access to the mangy old camper really was...

    Carbon Neutral Expedition - CNE I (Spring 2010)

    Looks like a fun outing, nice scenery, and probably good info traded on alternative sources of fuel, along with efforts to tread lightly, and I wouldn't be surprised if you left your campsites cleaner than you found them. All good things. Had I come along, I suppose there might be interest in my...

    Carbon Neutral Expedition - CNE I (Spring 2010)

    I was a little surprised to see the note about this being carbon neutral in light of recent news like a Reuters item a couple of weeks ago about layoffs at the Chicago Carbon Exchange and the otherwise dire conditions in the carbon market - CCX crashed to ten cents per ton and hasn't recovered a...

    SOLD - Expedition Ready 1977 4x4 Blazer Chalet for Sale

    Notice the Sportsmobile in one of the photos. Dale is a member of our Yahoo Chalet owners' forum, but has, alas, changed gears so to speak. I've used one of his older photos where he has kayaks on the rig to prove that such fun items can be loaded onto a Chalet roof as long as they aren't too heavy.

    Mud is pollution

    ...said Mark Riskedahl of the Northwest Environmental Defense Center in Portland. "This is not rocket science. There are some very low-cost, low-maintenance steps folks can take to remedy this problem." Paved logging roads. No problem. Cost of toilet paper might go up a penny or two.

    Blazer Chalet on Ebay

    An update to post #6 - I ended up acquiring the blazerchalet.com web site in June. When the time comes, I'll modernize it, but first I need to learn how to run a web site. Now for the latest nicely shined up one on eBay, serial #1382...

    Ouray & San Juans: Portland Mine, Rd Mtn/Guston, Maggie Gulch - get out and walk!

    Well, the ol' Chalet still sits idle in an RV lot, exercised occasionally but still the victim of underbudgeted intentions. So, I hired my SOA friends again for two tours, and otherwise walked instead. Here's three brief sets of walking tour pics. Click on each to enlarge. First, one trail to...

    Why do I love Land Rover?

    On my eventual path away from the practicality/bulk/mpg/load capacity problems of an old Chalet, I steer toward 99-ish or earlier Discoveries, because of their aesthetics, more than anything. Call me weak on such things, I guess. But then I keep reading in this forum about the extra amount of...

    Ouray Pictures and Trip Report

    Oh, man! You hit every one of my favorite places to see. I was there for my annual getaway July 15th-23rd, I'll have to at least put together a small trip reports of a walk I took in the Red Mountain mining district area. I still have to cheat and hire one of the jeep tour companies to take me...

    Ophir Pass, 6/9/10 Opening Day

    My May 30 1991 run over Ophir in my 2wd hatchback is one of the more cherished memories in all my Colorado travels. Initially, I just wanted to see where the road went from the east side, assuming it would just dead end at a mine site. I didn't do much map research back then. Imagine my surprise...

    Commuters

    Used $15 Mongoose scooter with knobby tires and a cardboard carrier I made for holding mail. Semi-retirement currently allows me the luxury of having to go no farther than the community mailboxes. For contrast, one of my former neighbors was so thoroughly un-guilty of short commutes that she...

    This site is evil.. (Brute + Chinook?)

    If you don't mind a variant of the Chinook line, there's the minor possibility that another of the slide-in Chinooks could be found - link. Perhaps the Brute box is about the same size as a Luv box. I've run across a couple ads of this version in recent years while trying to dredge up Chalet &...

    Project BigB... a 1977 Dodge Van 6x4!

    Need to get my eyes checked, missed this thread 'til now. My artist side wondered what it would look like with a bit less overhang.
