We were returning to Boise, after a quick trip to Chandler, AZ. As we transitioned from Loop 101N onto SR60 - we began to notice small dust storms occurring, not impacting us. As we crossed over the Hoover Dam, exiting Arizona; I couldn't believe how dusty the air was descending into Las...

CT, take it to a local Taco specialist either independent or dealer - have them validate your 33” tire rotation, to Speedo. They can tweak the computer. It will help with overall travel and transmission. Congrats - drive like tomorrow is going to never happen! DG

Joe, This is an interesting idea. A concern I have, is that some of us have 37+ years of driving serious 4 Wheel vehicles. My 88 62 series LandCruiser has over 310K miles on it. Our 78 40 series had over 120K driver miles on it. A Trail/Dirt road that is passable for a vehicle that's 6'...

Welcome to OB, We were just in the Olympic Peninsula and the National Park for 8 days. There's lot's to see and explore. Now if we could get B.C., the Yukon, and Alberta open to U.S. travelers. Enjoy David Boise, ID

It's probably too late to get campground Reservations - since the State and National Forests are closed. Here are two links. When we lived in the Bay Area, we spent lots of time in the Mountains between I-280 and the One. We spent many a night at Butano, by ourselves, but that was 30 years...

Matt, Most Raspberry Pi's are not ruggedized for Industrial/mobility use. They don't handle the shaking, heat, voltage fluctuation. Yes, they are cheap. Met to be installed as a IOT device with stable power. David

Be aware that there have been several Flash Floods in Arizona, New River, Phoenix basin and Tucson. Some of the National Forest near Flagstaff have been closed due to fires in the area, I'd check with Prescott, Kaibab and Coconino. Our drive to Sedona and Oak Creek Canyon the week before...

Great State Campgrounds, the Loop Road is all day commit, and the grade on the South decline, will make your Brakes HOT! I warped the front disc's on the LandCruiser. Kiger Gorge is worth the trip, especially if you Spot wild horse's. Wild Flowers have probably wrong bye-bye, but be on...
