    5 weeks in the Intermountain/High Desert USA area

    I shared this trip on another forum so will post the link to photos here: https://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/gallery/album/1618-5-week-trip-id-ut-mt-nv-or-wa/ My husband was recovering from cancer treatment so we limited our range and time in the road. Our wandering included central and...

    WA/OR/NV 2021-04+05

    Days 1+2: We left on April 10 during beautiful weather. While we were away for a month, we had a bit of early morning snow, 2 days of high winds, one all day rain fest and some short durations of misty rain. But, mostly, we had blue skies and fluffy clouds. We drove to the Coupeville-Port...

    Seven week exploration September+October 2020

    I compiled another journal of our trip through eastern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, northern Nevada, eastern Oregon and return home through eastern Washington. Again, I used the Morpholio app which I know doesn’t translate well to a smaller screen. I compose it on an iPad...

    3 outlet valves

    We have another question re our Hallmark Ute. We boondock a lot and/or camp at public lands campgrounds which don’t have water at all or are shut off in the shoulder season. Our fresh water tank has 30 gallons. We also carry 5 one gallon jugs of potable water which we refill in grocery...

    Propane tank gauge

    We have a 2013 Hallmark Ute with a 6 gallon horizontal propane tank. You can not really tell what the volume is unless you take the tank out and guess by weight. Is there a gauge or other device to determine the volume remaining that you have found useful? Amazon reviews say some are useful and...

    27 day wandering Washington, Oregon and Nevada

    Another journal-type trip report. I promise that our next trip in the spring will be easier to read.

    Two week exploration: WA + OR

    Back to the beginning when I first began using the Morpholio app on my iPad to make a daily diary of our travels. This one begins in October 2017. If I get ambitious enough, I may start when I got my first iPhone in 2013 and try to reconstruct our previous adventures. Oh, the places we have been!

    4 days in the neighborhood

    We wanted to take a midsummer break so several weeks after July Fourth weekend, we decided to explore parts of the North Cascades. We are grateful to have this area just a short drive away. We figured since it was rainy and most people got the camping bug out of their systems during the Fourth...

    47 days wandering the West

    I use the Morpholio app on my iPad to document our camping and explorations. I will start from Day one and continue until done uploading. I also started using Avenza app Benchmark maps for tracking then did a screenshot. I used the smaller maps from their foldable state maps but next time will...

    Best tires for our rig

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give us. We drive the setup in my signature: 2008 F250 and Hallmark Ute. We just had it officially weighed and it came in at 12,000# This is with replacement front end bumper but not the winch we just bought. It is 4x4 and high clearance. This is what we...

    I would be interested if this is a possibility.

    Sub for Trasheroo?

    The Trasheroo is a great idea but, unfortunately for us, we have a truck camper with no spare on the back. Instead we have a ladder about a foot wide. Does anyone have suggestions for an alternative? I emailed Trasheroo folks who said that essentially it would not be economically feasible for...

    IPad mapping app that allows stylus use

    If there isn't an app, there should be one. I am looking for a mapping app that you can use a stylus on. If I use Google maps for routing and use the directions to get from A to B, it routes me on freeways. Even if I choose no highways, I still get routed differently than what I want. I would...

    TR: Oct/Nov 2014 4 Wk US West Exploration Part 2

    Okay, here we go. Part 2 of possibly 5 as we were on/off the road for 4 weeks plus. I need to decide if I will continue to blog on Wordpress as I am almost at the 3 gb limit for data. $100 buys me more for a year (wish they had a cheaper plan; this will cut into our travel budget). I would post...

    Ambulance RVs

    We have been researching these for our explorations of the west. Our current set up has us feeling crowded with us and 2 large dogs. We are photographers and sometimes it is a hassle unloading gear stowed under a large poodle. It would be so easy and safer to stow photographic gear in an outside...

    Advice needed for brush/grill guard front replacement bumper winch ready

    We have been agonizing over this for over a year. We are not sure if one option would be overkill or inadequate. We have decided on the Ranch Hand brand but are open to alternative suggestions. Made in USA is important. We have eliminated non-winch ready and brush/grill guard only without the...

    TR: September/October 2013 6 Week US West Exploration

    I actually started a TR on Wordpress but soon realized that photos would provide a visual jog to my memory. It took me more than several weeks to cull/edit/process over 2500 images. The final result is around 200 final jpgs but that number needs to be further whittled as there are quite a few...
