^^ reminds me of this:
My grandmother camping near Burdan's Gate in Eastbourne NZ, probably in the early 60's. All of 14 km from home, lol, but by the beach with nice walks. They would camp there for weeks for the summer vacay. Car was covered to try and keep it from rusting in the salty sea...

Yes - lovely camp site, but not a secret. I was on my way to Boise to pick up my daughter, cruising up 95, been interested in Owyhee and poked up roads from Rome looking for a camp. Back on the highway in the morning.
^^That is a great camp site!
OK, I have a roofnest falcon and it packs down, as in there is no room for bedding. I only sleep one body up there - if I have company they get the choice of the rtt or the gazelle with cot. So I am toying with getting a custom mattress that is half the width and...
Does anyone have a source for a mounting bracket for an ARB twin compressor for a 4Runner on the passenger side? 2020 4Runner in CA.
The one I see says it is not compatible with CA emissions packages, and guess where I live.
I just cancelled. I just have too much going on at home right now. I am retired so I have all the time, but I rent and have had housemates which makes the financials flush. Last housemate left in March and even though I rent I am doing a bunch of work around the house. I was meant to have...
It should be personal. I am still working it out but I like Backpack. My retirement plan was to get fit and go backpacking. 2 years of health issues later instead of me carrying a backpack my backpack carries me.
So kinda like a suitcase on wheels? :tearsofjoy: huh. where's the thumbs up emoji?
Interesting idea. I already grabbed some soft bags for laundry. Goes in the same space as the clean, just in the bag.
I have a rtt but I travel alone mostly and learning to pack so I can easily sleep inside my 4Runner. Truth is I get more room length wise inside the 4Runner than in my Roofnest Falcon where I sleep diagonally.
I also have a gazelle t4 and a long cot and that is super comfy and roomy.
So. I was...
Some YouTubers do great stories on the history or geology and the like and as I was driving around the last few weeks listening to the radio I thought I wonder if it would be possible to have a travelogue option to tell me stuff about the area I am currently in. I was thinking an audio blog...
These are good questions. I like dispersed camping, but when I do extended trips I like to get a hot shower and do some laundry roughly once a week. I will stop at a truck stop for that usually, but I am also usually travelling solo. In between I might hop in a river, or I do have a wee battery...
Really sorry, but I am not going to make this trip. It will have to stay on my bucket list for a bit.
Not sure how to get off the attending list, never bailed before.
Added myself - I am coming from Oakland. Coyote Flats was on my bucket list for this year and these dates fit just right. 4Runner gets some suspension work done on Friday. I should probably meet up with you on the way, or in Bishop, maybe.
I won't be up for any hiking. I hurt an Achilles tendon and it is mending well as I have been resting it since the Black Rock trip and don't want to hurt it again - I have a bunch of trips planned in July through September. I am just starting to exercise on it again with easy walks.
But I have...
Not an expert, but I have used my gear. Depending I could see vehicles linked to make a strong recovery point, so an extra vehicle might help. The snatch block can make a pulley system for extra heft. Also - haven't seen Hunter Liggett since 1981. Good excuse for a quick peek.

I have a resmed airsense 10 cpap with a 12 volt transformer and a Jackery 1000. From 100% the Jackery is down to 92% in the morning on the cpap alone. I have never had a problem with it. Charges up slowly off the Jackery solar panels or after 2 or 3 hours driving.
Sacramento folk are meeting at 9 am in Sacramento and then driving to Stonyford.
I am driving from Oakland assuming Sac folk will arrive around 11 am or so and I can join up there.
