  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Idaho BDR 50" Bridge

    I've contacted the Boise National Forest to see if the concrete barriers narrowing the bridge have, indeed, been removed. I'll let you know. Thanks everyone! Terry

    Idaho BDR 50" Bridge

    Thanks, KentR, that explains it. The MVUM clearly shows the second track from the top. So, I need to figure out a bypass.

    Idaho BDR 50" Bridge

    Thanks rever, I'm skeptical they would build a bridge that narrow. As I looked at it from the Google Maps satellite view, it just didn't look an narrower than the road to me.

    Idaho BDR 50" Bridge

    In planning my trip on the Idaho BDR, I came across a 50" wide bridge at 43.80913, -115.53654. I understand the BDR is intended for two-wheel machines, but have also read it's accessible for larger stuff. I'm driving an E250 Sportsmobile that could in no way make it across that bridge. So, 1) Is...

    What do you use for weather forecast?

    Is anyone aware of a weather radar app (not a forecaster) that can be used via satellite?

    US East Running the Trans America Trail (TAT) from WV to the OR coast

    Thanks for all the great comments. I'm planning a TAT trip with my wife this summer. However, since we live in Southern MO, I've decided to hop on in Arkansas, skip Oklahoma, and rejoin in New Mexico. In Colorado, we'll skip Cimmaron Pass (vehicle's too large). We'll continue to follow the trail...

    100 Years of the Lincoln HWY.

    It's like when people saved their good overalls for church and were ashamed to go out in public with a small unmended hole in their clothes. (Interesting that spell check doesn't recognize the word, "unmended.") These days, slashed jeans are the style. Just goes to show how well-off we truly are.

    Hello!

    Welcome! Just do a web search on "overlanding groups" or FB search for overlanding. There are a lot out there. That said, Overland Bound is a a great start.

    Tire Pressure

    In his book, Shifting into 4WD: The SUV Owner's 4WD Handbook, Harry Lewellyn instructs to lower the air pressure so the sidewall is 75% the height of the correct on-pavement air pressure. Then, record what that air pressure for future reference. I like this approach because it negates the effect...

    What mileage did you purchase your rig?

    I bought my 1998 Sportsmobile E250 in 2019 with 140,000 miles. It now has 155,000 miles and has held up great.

    Coleman Oven - Stone or Griddle Heat Spreading Recommendations

    I use mine on a low(er) BTU butane stove. I didn't have any issue with burning with pizza and biscuits.

    Coleman Oven

    BTW, I used my camp oven fir the first time a few weeks ago. It worked great. I used a temperature sensor the first time to get a feel for the right flame level. I can't wait to use it, again. Concerning some ovens getting too hot and burning things, my Coleman butane stove is only rated at...

    Pillow Talk

    I use the Cocoon inflatable. It's the right size for me - can be inflated to the right size, fits nicely in the hood of my sleeping bag, so it doesn't move around, and packs nicely into my sleeping bag sack.

    Coleman Oven

    I've heard this, too. My problem is, I can't find a tile anywhere. The folks at Lowe's and Home Depot (and the local fireplace store) don't know what I'm talking bout and I don't want to put a tile in there that will explode.
