Yeah! Dameon said you scoped a spot with streams and such a little further west. You weren't in a silver SUV were you?

Oooh storms. Damn. Was looking forward to seeing you. We'll always have Resida. 😁

Forgot to mention no Verizon or AT&T at Salmon either. Lake is within walking distance here. We've swam every day.

Ah damn. Can you do stand by? My friend got cancelled, but got a standby flight within 24hrs a couple wks ago. Thatwas Frontier tho. Also, American used to have deals with other airlines to find an open seat for customers going to the same destination.

Checked out Salmon la sac or whatever it's called again today. It's day use or pay camp mostly. The Kachess Lake spot next to where I'm camped (pretty much the first iOverlander spot) is spacious AF. It has an abandoned tent I've been rearranging a bit daily to look occupied.

That whole area was blown up, so we didn't go much further. Weekdays will be totally different I'm sure.

Possibly. Gonna check again Monday.

We just checked out the Salmon's sack hole. It's overrun with weekend warriors.

Just went swimming in Kachess Lake a couple hrs ago.

I know a rubbertramp camping near Cle Elum right now. Nothing's ever really closed.

I'm driving up hwy 97 from Weed, CA starting either this evening or tomorrow.

Okay, now I'm at 99% and +1. Told you, I'm a traveler. Travel plans change three times before noon almost daily.

I'm 75% sure I'll make it since I'm in NorCal. I'm a traveler tho. There's a 5% chance I'll end up in Mexico instead.

I was just thinking about doing the fan thing in my G20 yesterday while waiting for stain to dry on my countertop. You've added another option to think about versus just plugging in a regular fan.

I saw 108º on consecutive days in, I feel like it was late April, but maybe early May last year. It's a dry heat tho. 😅

Now that I'm rocking a RWD '93 G20 and have some monies, I'm thinking of investing in some decent traction boards that will last. Can anyone suggest a good set?

Just an update...Pirates run the Internet Cafe since last season. It's fine in the daytime, but it can loud at night. Also it's right next to the Red Rum Room (formerly Katamari 2.0 last season) and that is a bar that can get loud.

Searching for that info here is needle/haystack shit. As someone that's using Slabs for my homebase for a 3rd straight season, here is some of what I know... There's always the possibility of a rando dog. The local dogs that do roam free are pretty chill so far this season. Sometimes travelers...

Expanding on @TheDesertMouse 's post with my exoerience the past couple years... Agree with the shovel, jack, quart of oil, and lugnut socket advice 100%. I don't carry the other liquids (antifreeze, etc due to space limitations and stores being everywhere). I carried a scissor jack, hate them...

Honestly, if you're gonna be close to towns, go as minimal as you can and pick up the things you realize you need as you go.

Depends on so many factors. Are you more into urban or rural. Take temps and seasons into account. Etc. Think about variables of what you need and/or want to feel a basic level of comfortable. Dig thru the forums. You'll find some nuggets of wisdom.

I can bum my road dawg's ION Pathfinder 3 speaker if needed.

It really depends on what you're looking for. I mostly stick to public lands.

I put my FWD Dodge Grand Caravan through some rough roads and trails. I love when I'm camped at some "4x4 Recommended" spot and rando dude comes thru with their expensive rig with all the bells and whistles thinking they're badass. Then they see my soccer mom van...the looks I get are...

How many people have you killed?

I would say Antioch, CA because of the two different caliber guns firing entirely too close to my van last spring, but I'm gonna go with Fresno.

I can attest to what @starpurple said. Just going from SoCal to NorCal was a big change in how freely people move about, masks, etc. There were fewer masks in Portland and more people in parks. The further east I go, the less it's obvious there's a pandemic. Just drove from the Boise area to...

Don't know much about RVs, but I do know about Iowa and vehicles from the Midwest. Pay attention to rust damage underneath from winter's salted roads. RVs are probably less likely to have it, but my van (bought it in western IA) was a daily driver and has a lot of rust.

Rubbertramping up the 1 and 101 mostly this week. It took all of 5 mins to drive thru downtown L.A. on the 101. Took the 1 up through SF and across the Golden Gate bridge. Barely any traffic. The 101 north of the Bay Area into Santa Rosa during "rush hour" was smooth sailing when it should have...

It was a friend of mine. She made a new acct and (I think) was in the process of deleting her old one (the Lena one). Anyway, she didn't tell me she created a new acct and I didn't pay attn to the pic. In context, it was funny, but I didn't know it was her. I just saw it was a new user saying...

(The sudden realization that I, personally, cannot recall ever eating an actual waffle there.)

I don't think Medicine Camp was a thing this season. For sure not in the same place. I remember a couple faces (I suck at names) from Medicine Camp from last year and didn't seen those particular folks, but doesn't mean they weren't here. Most of the winter I just used Slabs as a home base...

I think Iowa figured out I'm not there because my EBT didn't work last night (or today elsewhere) when I was getting energy drinks for the road dawg and myself while staring down a long drive in the dark to find BLM land. The cashier said don't worry about it, she'd pay for it herself. That...

It happens to me from time to time.

I have a $400 van I've been rolling in for 1.5 yrs because if I don't know how to fix something, I know people that do.

Just south of Cal-Nev-Ari, NV off Hwy 95 is a dirt road called Christmas Tree Pass Road. It will take you through Christmas Tree Pass, south of Spirit Mountain, and to Grapevine Canyon Petroglyphs. The road ends on Nevada State Highway 163. Four wheel drive is recommended, but I did it in my...

CWD1 last week was pretty good If yer into that folk punk thing. CWD2 is this Friday, March 27th. It'll be streaming on YouTube and FB. https://m.facebook.com/copingwithdystopia/

Do they have gates?

Been a lot of upper 70s to mid 80s where I've been traveling.

Everyone's feet are different, but I bought some HI-TEC Gunnison II Mid Men's Waterproof Hiking Boots a couple months ago and they've held up well so far to desert life, urban walking, and multiple terrain type hikes. First boots I've ever had that didn't need to be broken in. Wear wool or...

That first John Hopkins link was too busy for my phone, so here's an alternate link: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn

Random knowledge I recall from a field trip in junior high. The natives used the penis bone for a toothpick.

Don't do it homie. There's plenty of alternatives to more brainwashing. I've always wished I'd joined the Peace Corps or something similar instead of the military.

Been there since Friday. Lol

@Coywolf Really enjoyed hanging with you two! Looking forward to crossing paths again down the road!

@croc Good job making the Jambo tire!
