    Redwood and Yosemite suggestions?

    We're planning on Yosemite in late May or Early June when the waterfalls are at their peak and the mosquitos haven't decided to call in all platoons. Some folks we met in Idyllwild who go there all of the time recommended Upper Pines, so we're going to go for that one. Just need to get in line...

    SOLD Brand New 2011 550 Ultra

    Good luck with the new house and other stuff, Linda! About changes in RV usage...We have several full-timers living in RV's in our neighborhood because times are hard. They don't cause trouble and they rotate their spots, so nobody says anything. The community supports local charities that...

    Washer / Dryer Anyone Buy The Maytag Washer And Dryer

    Speaking of washing on the road...I found a link to a site that talked about using a 5 gallon bucket in the back of the car/truck to wash clothes on a road trip. 1) Add clothes and water. 2) Add 1/2 qty of detergent you would normally use (preferably eco friendly). Make sure to seal bucket...

    Ever heard of Nanowrimo?

    I've noticed that quite a few people on the forum seem to enjoy writing, journaling, etc. Starting November 1st, I will be part of "Nanowrimo" or the National Novel Writing Month. It's a fun way to jump-start completing a novel (or at least completing 50,000 words of a novel). You can check it...

    Separated At Birth?

    Awesome idea, Cary! We're all Battlestar fans, but he's the diehard that goes to Comic Con. He'll definitely get a kick out of it. :grin: Stelena

    Separated At Birth?

    Those pictures are a a crack-up! Reminds me that when we first showed the pictures of a 560 to my brother, the windows reminded him of the cockpit on a of a Cylon raider ship (from Battlestar Gallactica). Thanks for sharing! --Stelena

    Unique homemade teardrop/tent

    Autohome usa also has some nifty rooftop tents. We checked them out as a possible option before opting for the teardrop. Cost a pretty penny, but a neat concept. I think there is a company out there that builds teardrops with rooftop tents as an option. Thanks for sharing the links. -Stelena

    What kind of camper are you?

    Interesting points. After we spend some time on the road with our Firefly I will probably re-visit this particular question. We are graduating from tent campers to teardrop campers. Aside from the beauty of the raindrop, we see it as a hard-sided tent with wheels graced with the convenience of a...

    GPS Tracking Device

    Thanks for asking the question Pat. We just found out that a couple of houses in our area had their garages cleaned out when different renter families "moved out". All in all we're a tight knit neighborhood but we have some issues right now. We're going to look at how to increase garage security...

    Ode to Tents...and our future raindrop...

    I love camping. Even when things don't go quite as planned. Well, my old Sea Scout friend and I decided to have a girl's weekend tent camping in Idyllwild while Ivan and Darcy visited family in Russia. A couple of notes to self from the weekend... (1) When your friend checks the tent pre-trip...

    S'mores in a Basket

    I love s'mores. Especially the part with the marshmallow is a flaming ball barely hanging onto the stick over the fire. But my friend Kathy converted me to an interesting variation this weekend that I wanted to share. You will need: 1 Shrimp basket for cooking shrimp on a grill. Graham...
