Frank, we have our own private Shangri-La booked for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. I am proposing that we do what we did last year and add up the costs for all three nights and divide by the number of parties. If someone insists that we do this on a day or person basis, I will have...

I won’t speak for Camp-Inn but I think their approach makes a lot of sense. You pay a lot for the convenience of the Little Guy solution and with it you get an overpriced panel that uses an uncommon- connector and does not provide a great deal of flexibility. Camp-Inn supports a DC cigarette...

Actually, Craters of the Moon is an awesome place to visit, I just happened to have lost two pairs of glasses in one afternoon there and am a bit Leary about the place. If the wind is blowing, I would move on. An interesting place to check out is Lava Hot Springs near Pocatello. No state...

I should warn about the wind and the air borne fine grit sandpaper at Craters of the Moon. If you are lucky it will auto-Walbernize your trailer, if not so lucky your aluminum skin might end up looking like tinsel.

Hey Frank, we have reservations for Salt Creek in June and will be camping near where you did. What was the number of the site you camped at? I think I will have to turn our trailer has you did since the length of the pad is about one foot shorter than the combined length of our TV and...

How do the mosquitos keep their hats on while they fly around?

Many years ago our campsite in Yellowstone was victimized by bears while we were away on a hike. They made a real mess of things. They are able to open anything and they are not very neat when they go rummaging. The primary damage they did was to slime our vehicles. Everything was covered...

Wow! What a fine thing you and your family are doing. It does take courage to change directions as you are doing. All the life experience you already have will be a huge asset to your ministry. We look forward to hearing about your journey.

We would have welcomed a raccoon instead of the visitor we got last night. While camping at Deception Pass State Park during the wee hours we will treated to someone opening the door on my side of the trailer who proceeded to try to slip into the trailer. He was very persistent and despite all...

Sarah, my money is on the lad. Better get used to the lady bug.

You will only need to top off the batteries so you maybe able charge them sequentially or more likely charge the AGM one day and the ion the following day. The AGM battery gives you a lot of options. For starters, you gain a lot of stored amp hours up front as well as a place to store future...

You should be able to do 7 days. Remember you can always charge from the TV. Just don't run out of gas. A 120 watt panel will help a lot. My panel seems to work best when it is overcast for some reason. I think the big question is whether or not you will be able to charge the lithium-ion...

AlCat, I think you can get to where you want to be, but you have to remember there is no simple solution short of getting a generator. Without a generator it is all a matter of power management, which will require that you be aware of what capacity you have and what draws how much. You also...

AlCat, I think Cary can address this better than I can. I went through this with him when we ordered our 560 and at one point I understood this. In any event, the following is my super simple take on the inverter. An inverter works fine if you have enough battery capacity; however, if you...

If it was only just that easy, unfortunately, inverters can be pretty inefficient. Depending on load you might only get 50% of the battery's DC power converted to AC. The lower the load the less efficient the inverter will be. If you are like Frank and running a blender, you might get 90%...

AlCat I have an S9 as well, the $700 ResMed solution IRC is basically a one-nighter solution that was designed more for use while in an aircraft than for camping. It is a lithium battery that is very small and lightweight. The $300 Repironics Battery Pack works with any CPAP and is good for...

Some suggestions, don’t bother with the humidifier, it will drain the battery more quickly than just the CPAP. The benefits of the humidifier are nice but not critical, unlike the CPAP. About the AC outlet, an extension cord under the mattress is an easy solution. For batteries, you will not...

Wahoo! Bear might be coming to Mossyrock! We are very excited about reconnecting with you and we look forward to your stories around the campfire.

We have all three, the NB, The side tent and the Alcove and generally will carry all three. It is just like golf, you pick the tent, or no tent that is best suited for the course. The NB is the hunker down shelter, we don’t put it up very often, but when we do, we know it was well worth...

I have found 125 usable film canisters. Apparently, I must have given the bulk of my stash to my film lab. They hand them out to the arts and crafts community, especially those doing projects with kids.
