Got the carryall all fixed up and running again. **if** I can keep it running, and everything lines up, we're hoping to head out to Baker Lake this Sunday for a little camp out. (Being retired and with no schedule, we can skip crowded weekends.) The plan is to hit Swift Creek Campground for a...

Interesting, I'm pretty sure I didn't toggle it off. At least not on purpose. I wonder what could cause that to happen? Some default during a forum update? Thanks for catching & fixing it. -jim lee

Used to be there but now I seem to be gone. Even the find function doesn't locate me. I don't think I changed anything in my profile that would effect this. -jim lee

If we can make it, we will. We have some deal going on in August, but I keep forgetting when. Speaking of forgetting, there's a lady that works at that bar that has an incredible memory. We went in one time, long time ago. Then over a year or so later we went in again. She remembered everything...

My Niece lives there. Willamette valley pies, best in the world! Too far away for a quick meet up though. -jim lee

7:30's good for me. -jim lee

Julie's all up for Tomorrow night. And that works better for me as well. Conway Pub for a late burger? -jim lee

The problem with meeting on weekends is everyone always seems to have plans. How about tonight? After work kind of thing? Meet at 7:30 Conway pub? How many could do that? Or even tomorrow night (Thursday)? I don't think I'll be able to bring the carryall, seeing its in its favorite place...

You guys up for another Conway meet-up? (Now that we're suddenly old hands) I know Julie is. -jim lee

Wow! This is growing fast! I'm nearly brand new member #12180. Over 1,600 members since I joined up! Welcome welcome! From Monroe to Bellingham.. There is also the Whidbey people.. The footprint's bigger, but it still puts Conway pretty much in the center. If anyone wants to meet up there...

Well, if you're interested. Here's a link to our trip report. Its mixed in with the truck's build log. -jim lee

And then? The next morning Julie and Alex woke up all raring to do something. We’d talked a lot the night before and, although we could have continued on by dragging the truck along on its front axle. It just didn’t seem like the right thing to do. That and, I was completely spent. So...

Hahaha! They are troopers! The wife actually enjoys the trips and pushes me to do more. Did you see the bit where we got her to go up in a WWII Bomber? She has her own '14 4Runner and I hear she plans on taking me on a trip up to Canada in it tomorrow. (Going to force me into hiking. A little.)...

Section 3 Next morning we decided to just move on without a usable spare tire. Maybe something would turn up along the way. The next stop was Ellensburg. We decided to take the river route. First it was a lot prettier and second, no big hills to climb. The river road between Yakima and...

Who's afraid of vapor lock? Up and back on the road. The three tote kitchen system really worked out well for making and breaking camp. Its so simple, why didn’t we think of it before? Climbing up the next mountain on WABDR section two. Run the truck, cool things down when we need to...

Keep on or go home? Things kept bubbling around in my head that night. Why did the truck run so well on the morning run to Ellensburg? What caused the electric fuel pump to completely fail? Why does it seem like the fuel issues are getting worse? Maybe its related to fuel tank level? Maybe...

Next day, heading south. Next morning in Leavenworth. Heat shield installed on fuel pump, spare tire bolted up outside the driver’s door. Driving through this German lookalike town, we felt a bit like part of the occupation force. The run from Leavenworth to Ellensburg to hook up with...

We're off.. Back in the kiddie raising days when heading out on a wild adventure, the morning of the departure Julie would grab frozen sausage biscuits and nuke them for everyone. They were quick and easy, we all kinda’ liked them, so no fuss breakfast. That turned into a family tradition. I...

Sorry, been out and about. Ran into some mechanical trouble and haven't been able to get home. (Working on it as I type) But I think some local meet-ups would be great! -jim lee
