Helping a buddy who isn't a member here but asked me to share. I've done several trips joining him and his family with this particular van. It is a very nice unit. Only lacking 4WD. That being said it has gone many places. Please contact him via the links shared. Thanks for looking...

I am asking $300 (firm) for this once used kitchen dry box from FrontierPlay. This is primarily for people in SoCal/LA Basin as it will save quite a bit on shipping. New these are $325 plus shipping which is a lot. I added rubber caps to the bottom of the legs to give them better grip. There are...

Operation Oxcart AKA Gini's Burden-A Four Wheel Camper story So with the evolution of builds and meeting people with various types of rigs one develops a sense of what works best in a given configuration. My first brief chance to check out a Four Wheel Camper was at a gathering of friends from...

I searched for some info about people into kites and didn't see much. Just curious if anyone takes them camping/offroading/backpacking etc. I was in REI last week and while waiting to meet my gf for dinner I was pretty much looking at most things in the store I don't normally check out. Well I...

Problem resolved. So much for just editing a post in a simple manner. Lost my original post. Ugh.

I finally got down to do some editing of my pictures from trips over the past year. Enjoy. Canyonlands Not sure which I like better for this one, color or b/w:

Saw this for the first time in a Sears catalog and it got me thinking it may be a good idea for an expo truck. Does anyone here have/use one of these or have thoughts on their use? The Sears ones come in diamond plate and powder coat...

I found a camera in Butte Valley on a recent trip and would like to get it back to the owner. It looks like trips from the Sierras, Moab, and socal deserts.

Not sure what area to post this in so even though I'm not talking about software this seemed the most appropriate place to pose the question: Delorme or Benchmark Atlas'? So I've been trying to decide one or the other. I have several NatGeo maps and a couple books for certain areas I've gone to...
