    New Guy from New Hampshire

    We just did a Meetup for NH folks in Franklin, NH. We're hoping to do another next month, so stay tuned! We're expecting the season to start early due to little snow this past winter. I'm watching for the gates to open up and allow us some overnight runs. Still I expect the gates to open...

    These National Parks Will Require Reservations in 2022

    The wonderful thing about what we do is we don't need to camp within the NP. What drove me nuts over the past few years is how many NF campsites were closed and still are. My conversations was Hosts/Rangers has been: This is the new normal.. There's not enough Hosts to manage them.. Back in...

    Walnut Canyon @ Carlsbad Caverns

    A spur road we took as we drove out of Carlsbad Caverns NP. Nice easy dirt path with great views! I was in need of more dirt by then on our trip.. [tube]

    Camp stove

    That's a challenge gladly excepted. It's not the tool that makes a Master, it's the knowledge! I agree the $$ are being driven up and it drives me nuts to see someone with an expensive stove ready to toss it to by another expensive stove just because others like it better.. Your food is not...

    These National Parks Will Require Reservations in 2022

    I do have issues with this system. After visiting a few NP's this past Jan/Feb we stayed in 3/4 full campgrounds that were booked full. At 3 different locations I spoke to the Hosts & Rangers about this and heard "Nothing we can do." Turning away visitors because folks are reserving and not...

    Do I really need to bring extra gas?

    Funny you mention Baja.. After this past Feb down there I've decided I need either a second tank mounted or carry extra. !'m 380 miles on a tank. I pushed 340 before I found a petrol station. Guess it depends on where you're going to travel & of course availability. Baja I found several stations...

    What is the best Online and offline offroad GPS mapping App for USA and Canada

    I go between Gaia and iOverlander as of now. Gaia'a cost has gone way up since they were bought out, so I'm researching alternatives. OB1 has a long way to go to catch up to the big boys out there, once there.. then I'll debate the cost.. Leadnav is a real GPS tool and the basic version is a...

    Poll: When you camp, do you normally have cell service?

    I don't plan around cell service, yet I do find it's 50/50.

    Help planning Baja

    I'll say rethink going that far and not going deeper! Baja Sur just gets nicer and nicer. I didn't get all the way and plan on returning to spend much more time there. Catavina is a interesting geological area. San Ignacio area is also very cool (find the bone yard). You'll be late for the...

    Baja 2022

    We were there as well in February. We only made it as far as San Ignacio due to the winds! They were relentless! We hid in Petates RV Park for a few days and watch the Palms sway in the wind.. We need to pop the top to sleep comfortably.. I read your journal and it seems you're saying the...

    Mpg Worries

    Set your rig up as you wish it to be, you be happier in the long run. Gas pricing/costs have always been the largest expense when traveling for me. I know it and plan accordingly. If your worried about running out somewhere, carry extra. If worried purely on cost, save some more. Get out there...

    Toyota Tacoma or Jeep Wrangler

    I've owned both and at 6'-2" / 230lbs.. Toyota Tacoma is the final choice. Someone said they felt Jeep had more room, I differ on that statement. I feel jammed in the jeep! The Taco is actually my wife's. I built up from my full-size!

    U.S. Park Pass

    I have a lifetime seniors pass so it's a 'no-brainer' to get one! Annual, I guess it depends on where.. Kinda like buying a State Pass if traveling into another state.
