    Continental Divide 2021

    Morning Kent, I mountain biked the top half of the GDMBR in the early part of this century, Canada to Silverthorne, over several years as vacation allowed. It was great, until I crashed, but that's not my point. Just my creds. In the 90's among cyclists there used to be a saying; There are...

    HUMAN FECES

    In the 70's(yes I'm that old) we used to joke that toilet paper was the Nevada State flower(Big Sagebrush) and bulldozers were the State animal(Desert Bighorn Sheep). My point is this isn't new behavior, just more city folk getting out into the great outdoors...........................sad. What...

    looking for roof rack ( platform) material suggestions

    Just curious what you are going to use for tiedowns and how you will keep them from sliding? I guess the gray rectangles are cases of some sort? What vehicle will this go on? And as an aside the Super Strut is electroplated galvy. I don't know how that holds up in the PNW.

    Bigfoot

    It is just that as everyone knows, cell phones take crappy pictures, that is why no one uses them. (tongue firmly in cheek) Or just as someone else said Bigfoot is fuzzy.

    Bigfoot

    I dunno, been out in the woods a fair bit, only once heard something I couldn't explain in the Rockies. At home a couple of weeks later and watching one of those Bigfoot hunter shows where they interview a PNW ranger and he tells about this sound he couldn't ID and describes the same sound I...

    HWY 395 first week of April

    I've been to Bodie twice, the more enjoyable way in(more like overlanding) was coming up from Hwy 167. Camping at Big Horn Campgrounds in the Walker State Park is nice. Walker River State Recreation Area | State Parks

    US West Noob goes to Death Valley 3/22 - 3/29

    Single vehicle? The truck in your avatar? 4x4? According to gooooooooooooglemaps it's about the same if you go 80, 395 or 5, 58, 14, 395. Weather can make the choice. You want to camp or be a tourist? Both? Been looking at googleEarth and youtube videos? Panamint Valley has old mines and a...

    What is your favorite overland/camp stove?

    I used a MSR Whisperlight International on bike packing and motorcycle trips with unleaded gas. No problems cooking backpacking meals, just boil water! I used the unleaded in my motorcycle when I ran short, that's why I didn't use white gas. For car camping if I want to boil water I use my Kelly...

    Best tents?

    Like others I've had a variety of tents. I liked my Eureka Timberline the best, 2 person is great for 1. Easy set up very waterproof, but as MMc said it was prone to blow sand in the desert. Then I got older and didn't want to be crawling in and out of a tent, so I got a RTT, hated the set up...

    Overlanding alone first time need advice.

    So since you live in Murphy's I figure you know that Nevada can be cold and wet/snow in April. I go solo most of the time and I wander, but I take a personal locator beacon. Don't get too carried away with mileage, The "If today is Tuesday, this must be Belgium" plan get's old and increases...
