Matt, where did you find to stay?

Alexis, Did you go over 80? 108, Sonora Pass, is below the Tamarak fire; WIFIRE Firemap Searching DOT shows no restrictions on 108; Division of Traffic Operations - Road Information - California Highway Information Bummer you went thru so much effort to get turned around. Ya never know......

Thanks Kent, should be fun! Stay safe!

I wanted a hanger for my oil lamp and made one for my rear door. How I did it is in my blog; Land Rover lantern hanger

Not so much a water crossing, more like a water tunneling. Nice snorkle! How did the driver breathe?

I went on to watch all the shows by Jack I could find, great stuff! Those Stickman stoves look interesting(and modern), kinda like a campfire in a can. I see Jack's stove more like a Kelley Kettle. https://www.kellykettleusa.com/

I dunno, more 'lectrics to fail/use up the battery? Why not go with a hand pump? I put one in a MWC can lid, How I did it is here in my blog; Military Water Carrier, MWC, faucet I can see it's more convenient, just turn the faucet...

I've done some touring, Pacific Coast from Astoria to Santa Cruz(home) and done half the Great Divide. Both times with a B.O.B. trailer. I really like it and if it hadn't been for that crash in Colorado in 07.... I am 70 and if my hip worked like it should I'd be out there riding now. I'd...

Laziness is the Father of Invention...............

Then there is this; John McK for a review;

A couple years ago(pre-pandemic) I was on youtube learning about DNA and human migration and followed the links to Australia and came upon this old, 80's-90's, tv show hosted by a Jack Abasolm. Jack traveled the Outback and gave tips on places he grew up or worked at and did paintings. In one...

Hey Matt, you realize that area is doing a whole lot of shaking, right? Sorry I don't know any places around there, I usually go Hwy108 and into Nevada, Bighorn campground is pretty and pretty unused when I've been there. Not a cool foresty experience though, plenty of water!

117° in Vegas yesterday, 130° in DV. Good article; Death Valley Temperature Reading Ties for the Hottest Ever

Anyplace above 6000' should get you out of the heat. I don't know if you heard(or care) there is an earthquake event happening up HWY395 Between Brigdeport and Topaz Lake, the opener was a 6.0 and likely was the largest, BUT, there is a 6% chance of a larger quake. That is pretty normal for the...

I don't know if you have left yet, the high in DV is supposed to be 130°F this Saturday, That means in the 90's at night. Be safe, don't plan on hiking anywhere in that heat. Most of the SW is in a heat wave.

I guess you travelers heard about the grizzly attack? In Ovando, MT, griz dragged a 65yo female cyclist from her tent and killed her. They found and killed the bear. Be careful out there, DO NOT KEEP FOOD WHERE YOU SLEEP! That goes for toothpaste, deodorant and the like. That bear can smell...

I have a Fuji 130, waterproof point and shoot. Plus a gopro.

Road, I guess I didn't see this when you posted it. Those Simple Theory stoves look nice, they remind me of the coffee can stoves we made in the Cub or Boy Scouts and used a tuna can filled with cardboard and wax for fire. I'll look into doing a thread on the cooker I made.
