Slab City and MCAS, Yuma with the Silent Drill Team. More pics and details on the blog: http://nowheretobetour.blogspot.com/

Worked my way further south to Joshua Tree National Park and also checked out Slab City. Interesting place to say the least. Additional pics and details on the blogsite: http://nowheretobetour.blogspot.com/

Back on the road headed south towards Baja. Going to do a little something different here for the remainder of the report. Others have done it here and my significant other has convinced me to start a Blog. Rather than having to post here as well as emails with pictures to my Mom, Uncle...

Put in a cabinet set up and another shelf over the past week as well. Had some 1x12 laying around and wanted something custom which would allow me to open the hinged compartment on the FWC. I had some plastic drawers I'd purchased here before but had to move it every time I wanted in the...

I'll keep that in mind but god it's so easy to remove the two pins and drop the gate. I'm the type who will be driving along and see a torn up trail or dirt road, pull over, drop the gate and unload. Sure makes life easy. The trailer pulls like a dream but I'm sure the gas mileage might be...

I recently bought an FWC for my Tacoma. Initially, I shopped the Northstar and Palomino brands in order to save a little money. I thought the Northstar was too heavy and the Palomino is pure junk in my opinion. I would certainly stay away from the Palomino brand. I think if you do a detailed...

Yea, still running that same set up with the tall ramp. It's not a solid ramp though. Heavy mesh type that the welder who did the trailer recommended. Wind passes right through it so not sure it really causes that much drag but what do I know. I really like having it on there though as I'll...

Glad you followed along. Headed south soon! :sombrero:

You know I'm not exactly sure on the mileage. I roamed around in the southwest for quite a bit and I was on the go pretty much every day either on the bike or in the truck. Between the truck trip and the bike trip north I'm sure I did well over 10,000 miles. Yea, having the bike is nice but...

Yea I almost did the same a few years ago on a bike trip up to Bella Coola, BC. Road was wet, pouring rain and I was tired. Too tired to have still been on the road but like an idiot I kept trying to push on to the destination. Came up on a 90 degree unmarked turn on a small back road and...

Having lived overseas, biked (both pedal & power) across our great country and spent many nights out backpacking and stealth camping in various forms I have never really felt threatened except once. I was camped with my significant other and a small child on BLM land miles from anywhere 20...

Shays4Me.....glad you're following along but in the future when replying with a quote you should probably delete the pictures posted in the quote. Most do not want to see the pictures posted twice which the system will do when quoting a post that has pictures. And yes, you're correct, the...

After spending two nites down in the canyon decided to head out and drive north towards Joseph. One of the workers for Idaho Power who hunts and fishes the area told me to take Hwy 39 which winds up thru the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. It is a really nice back country road with lots of side...

Moved the following morning and headed north of the little town of Imnaha for some stealth camping and to ride down to Doug's Bar landing on the snake. One store town with a post office. No gas! Drove up the canyon for about 10 miles outside of Imnaha and just found a wide area to pull off...

Unloaded the bike after getting camp set up and rode along the river and up the grade. Someone had a pet that was dearly loved. Always makes me sad when I run across spots like this as it reminds me of dogs I've lost over the years. Explored some side roads and two track outside of the...

Funny how some like more pics and less verbage and others want a book written. Guy sent me an email wanting me to go into more detail on where each picture was taken, what time, circumstances surrounding, f/stop and aperture setting, etc., etc. I love to read reports on here but I don't need...

I put the same bar with 2 inch risers on my XR650L and did not have to change out the cables. I'd imagine with the 5" you'd have to though. I'm six foot tall and the set up I went to works well for me when standing if that's any help. Sure makes it nice when standing to not be bend over...

Spent the day just screwing off driving over to the Sheldon Reserve in Nevada. Nice sunset as I entered Nevada. Camp for the night next to the hot spring. Also have a shower house next to the spring wherein water is supplied from the hot spring. Free camping as well. Some wildlife...

Guess I'll just keep this report going since I went on another roam about after returning from Alaska and will be departing for Baja soon. I've been working quite a bit since I got back and even worked as a driver helper for UPS during the month of December. I've got a new found respect for...

Excellent.......
