My schedule has changed, andnow I've got slightly betterdays off: Sun, Mon, Tues. I'm not familiar with the 4wd camp, but it sounds interesting! Sent from my VS985 4G using OB Talk mobile app

That's a beautiful spot. Where is it?

Sooo- I was driving the Jeep around last night with my son.... and it just DIED! It was like I ran out of gas. My gas gauge in not working right now, so I thought maybe I miscalculated my mileage. So, I put about two gallons from my jerry can in the tank. I cranked it for as long as I...

Yeah- I was noticing that. Is that around the Boise latitude?

I just found out that I have to work Tuesday- so no overnighter for me. I'm going to still try and make a one-day trip on Monday. We'll see. Randy

I did on my Jeep CJ until recently. I had one set of mud terrains and one set of all-terrains. Same theory as those who have to switch to winter tires. Randy

Coming from backpacking, I always just used a ground pad. As I've aged, my ground pad got thicker. The latest car camping trip, I had TWO pads stacked on top of each other. Sooooo, I graduated to a camp cot. I'm not a small guy, so I went with the TETON UNIVERSAL LE : I also use the...
