    My Journey

    Jerry....saw in one of your posts that you're heading south of the border. Baja? This was shot about 100 feet from the back of my camper two winters ago! Make sure you pack a mask and snorkel..........

    Roam About with "Big Hank"

    Months, if not years, could be spent roaming around between Williams Lake and Bella Coola in British Columbia. The area in between makes up the Chilcotin Plateau which could keep one busy for many months without ever getting to the end of the road. Having been to this area before I knew I'd be...

    My Journey

    Jerry....glad to see you're doing well out on the road. I've been kind of dormant lately but will be headed up to Bella Coola in BC this weekend so that's about to change. Be safe out there.

    Roam About with "Big Hank"

    I've been idle for awhile with the roaming about but Friday night we decided to load up the Chinook and leave within the hour for the northwesternmost point in the continental United States, Cape Flattery. The cape is located on the Strait of Juan de Fuca where it meets the Pacific Ocean. It is...

    Roam About with "Big Hank"

    Been getting my old Phantom One drone back in order. I'd had some problems with it and really didn't use it much over the past two years but wanted to take it on the road again. Leaving in a couple of weeks so I spent the last two days messing with it. I think I've got it figured out and...

    Ken's office is one you wouldn't mind going back to again and again. Nice meeting you as well. Glad you stopped by and hung out awhile.

    First time Mexico

    Definitely want the Mexican insurance for your vehicle. Just google and Baja insurance and take your pick. They're all about the same in cost. If involved in an accident down there without it and you'll be up S*&^ creek. I've hauled my dog down there on numerous occasions and have never been...

    The Reality of Handling Trailers in the Back Woods

    Here's another one for perspective. My friend, pictured here, and I crossed over from the Sea of Cortez side into Todos Santos this past winter down in Baja. Road basically turned into a quad track up top and the tires were overhanging in places. Trying to back up the steep grade with some of...

    The Reality of Handling Trailers in the Back Woods

    I've been dragging my homebuilt trailer behind my rig for years. At times I'm glad I have it and other times I'd like to push it off the side of a cliff! There have been times I've had to disconnect and spin it by hand. Problem here is both times I had my bike in the back and had to unload it...

    Roam About with "Big Hank"

    Update to blogsite: http://nowheretobetour.blogspot.com/2016/07/a-brief-sojurn.html Time to get back on the road even if for a brief period, be around some like-minded people for a couple of days and then ...... solitude. I attended the NW Overland Rally in Plain, Washington where one can...

    LED Lighting

    I checked with the outfit that sells the exact same set up......$130. If I don't sell them I'll just mount them up on my rig. I'm open to offers.

    My Journey

    Jerry....I did make it to that coffee shop. I concur, great place to hang out in the am and yes, Lander is a great town in the summer. Middle of January....might think otherwise. There is a road, think it's the same one that goes up by the Sinks, leading up out of Landers that turns to gravel...

    My Journey

    Glad you checked out the spot in Lander. I had a great time while there as it was free and I met some great people in the park as well as the brewery downtown. Was nice being able to walk to downtown from there. I had a spot right on the river. I'll check my maps and get back to you later if...

    Need input on FWC options (new 2016)

    1. I'd definitely go with external solar set up. I think the ability to move it to follow the sun is helpful when either parking in the shade or when you don't have that much direct sun to begin with. I've got an Overland Solar 90 watt with one battery and it does the job. Been camped for...

    LED Lighting

    They're sold by an outfit call Trailer Supply. I'm not sure about the power output. I won these at a raffle and they've been sitting around in a box. They're pretty heavy duty and seem to be well constructed. That's what I know.
