    towing with Honda Element?

    For what it's worth, I'm keeping my Element. While it's certainly a little under powered when towing in the mountains, it is adequate if you drive slower and allow for longer acceleration and braking distances (good towing practice on any vehicle) . I can't justify the expense of a new tow...

    Roof-mounted Solar Shower

    I like it! Simple, common parts, easy construction, and a warm shower... Great stuff. You have me thinking about putting such a tank contraption on the roof bars I have for my tow vehicle (Honda Element). We don't have bars on the TD - but the Element's higher roof height may provide a...

    Christopher Family at Palo Duro Canyon State Park

    Late last August / Labor Day weekend while traveling to Arizona to purchase our CI, we stopped for a day of hiking in Palo Duro Canyon - a.k.a. the mini grand canyon. If you like the beauty of the desert, it's definitely worth the drive south of Amarillo.

    Clotheslines in National Parks

    Many years ago when I was young and single I was driving in the mountains with a girlfriend from the flatlands. I noticed several cows walking on a hill side and they were all headed in the same direction. They were probably headed for the barn in anticipation of feed time. I told my friend that...

    Clotheslines in National Parks

    As Sarah notes, we've not seen any regs in the national parks stating no clothesline and have never been asked to take one down. The big thing is locking up in the car (or in a bear box) all food and any thing that remotely smells of food (like toothpaste) . This keeps the bears and skunks...

    Our First Trip!

    Dave & Linda... Most of the dividend points this year were from the REI Visa card and not actual REI purchases. That's the main reason we use this credit card, Christmas in April! Thanks for the bungee reminder and the fender anchor tip. The REI website had additional owner feedback...
