Why does this app not recognize my videos? It only is able to access my photos. Have wanted to post some videos a few times but can’t. Oh yea....using an iPad. Thanks.

Spent the weekend exploring the Monongahela National Forest in WV. Great time. Found a lot of good places to camp. However, spent so much time driving around Saturday that I ran out of daylight and with sunset and rain having begun decided to just spend the night at the Hampton Inn in Elkins.

Spent Saturday putting some more miles on the truck. Explored around the Front Royal area and then headed back down to the Jefferson National Forest (Buchanan Exit on Rt 81) and explored that area. Just wondering why a large section of the Blue Ridge Parkway is still closed.

Was going to head out today to do an overnight camp but the wind was still blowing pretty good so will try again tomorrow.

Met up in Catlett, VA this morning with fellow OB member Ray. Great conversation! Thanks for showing up. Looking forward to other activities.

Doesn’t look like many people are planning to make it to Catlett, VA tomorrow morning for a couple of hours of coffee and conversation, but I will be there all the same.

Totally agree. You should not have to reset your filters every time. No, it is not hard to do, just annoying. It’s one of those “attention to details” thing that would make things more “user friendly”.

Spent a little over twelve hours on the road today exploring. Left the house at 0500 and hit Bickle Knob and then Spruce Knob in West Virginia and finally Flag Pole Knob back (barely) in Virginia. At least I did not get stuck this time!

CB usage is sure not what it use to be in the 70s and 80s. I drive down major highways and hardly hear anyone talking. Even running my handheld unit on batteries (not plugged into a vehicle power source) it is subject to a lot of electrical interference from the vehicle. There are simply...

Refrigerators are designed to be run. I would be more concerned about not running it for weeks or months at a time between trips. Sometimes not using something can cause more “wear and tear” on the item than using it. One of the biggest reasons I have not dropped the money on a fridge. My...

Yes, and I was hoping to be able to head north twice this year, but looks like I will only be able to go once in late August as of right now.

So as of right now it looks like I will be making my third annual trip to the North Maine Woods starting on 8/21/21 and returning home by 8/29/21. Of course I could extend that by a day on either end. I live in Virginia. Anyone from this part of of the country interested in a convoy? Would...

I like the idea of using a cooler. Had actually thought of that already. Maybe even throw a hand warmer inside also. Good to hear that removing the filter from the LifeSaver is fairly easy. Thanks!

I am not heading back up to Maine from Virginia until (as of right now) the last week of August to hit the NMW again. Hoping to spend four or five nights there.

I did head over into West Virginia last week to do some exploring. Got stuck and spent well over an hour getting unstuck.

Anyone have any tips or tricks to keep their water supply from freezing during winter camping? Not very practical to keep a five gallon jug in your sleeping bag at night. I saw the review on the LifeSaver jerry can and Grayl Geopress and they look like great products. However, are they...

Still not much to report on the overlanding front. Maybe tomorrow I will get out and hit the road and just drive around some remote parts of Virginia. Maybe head to Front Royal area or even down towards Harrisonburg. If I am really feeling adventurous maybe head over into WVA.

Hmmm....what’s wrong with it? Looks ready to go to me in the picture.
