    My FLATBED Camper Build...All Aluminum, Summer 2022

    So, I've been wanting to build a flatbed camper for quite sometime now, but I wanted to wait until I retired as I knew it'd be very time consuming. I retired at the end of June (2022) and a couple of days later, I got to work. I had already ordered most of the materials i.e. aluminum, door...

    That looks like a lot of fun. I wish there were events like that in my neck of the woods.

    BLACK ROCK RENDEZVOUS, 2018

    As I do every year during the Memorial Day weekend, I attended the Black Rock Rendezvous on the playa in northwestern Nevada. There are always a lot of fun activities, outings, service projects and presentations. There's even a big Dutch oven cook-off each year (I've won twice before). My...

    What a way to McGyver that transfer case--I would have never thought to do that.

    CENTRAL NEVADA HOT SPRING TOUR

    In early July, my trusty hound dog, Dexter, and I decided to go and seek out some hot springs in the middle of Nevada. I don't know what I was thinking... "go out to the middle of Nevada, in the heat of the summer, and seek out some hot springs to soak in." We did it anyway and although it was...

    Lone Pine to Laurel Lakes - Things don't always go according to plan.

    I'm just now seeing your Trip Report--very NICE! I tromp around those areas quite a bit and am fortunate enough to live relatively close to them. My son's in college now, but he and I had a ton of similar adventures when he was young and I love to see dads out doing "unplugged" stuff with...

    EASTERN SIERRAS Hot Springs & The Alabama Hills

    I did notice the flies were out in full force at the Crab Cooker. I walked over to the source pool and it was bone dry, so maybe it only replenishes after a wet winter. We'll see...

    EASTERN SIERRAS Hot Springs & The Alabama Hills

    I have found a website (I don't recall the name of it, but it's easy to find) that lists all of the hot springs in NV and it's complete with GPS coordinates. The site, however, doesn't list the water temps or if they're otherwise safe to soak in. NV has some very, very hot hot springs, so you...
