    Did a little off roading

    Still no camping, but we drove from Bend to Christmas Valley off road. Beautiful day! Thought I'd share some pictures. One of these days I'd like to lead a trip from Bend to the Alvord but that's looking like no time soon.

    Trying to figure out a trip

    We haven't been on a significant off grid trip in several years, trying to get out for a week this year. My original plan was to go from the Alvord to Bend off road. But I'm leaning away from that idea because we want to bring our son with us. He's 2 and has cerebral palsey, epilepsy, and is...

    OB inspired drawer build

    Loved watching Michael and Parnell build the drawer system on youtube, and had to build my own version. My old setup was made from a combination of 2x12's, 3/4" plywood, it was HEAVY. I have a lot of work to do yet but this thing is a feather compared to the old setup so far. Behind the fridge...

    Took my son on his first camping trip

    We did most of the Barlow Road out in the Mt. Hood Forest, camped near White River. He didn't do great, but it was new, so we'll try again! Truck was crammed full, and I smashed up a hitch carrier, lol. Got back and immediately went and bought a yakima roof box, my little truck is at capacity!

    Possible monthly NW-OR SW-WA meetup idea, input?

    Hey guys, Steven here (changed username from OregonViewFinders). I've been thinking about trying to get a regular meetup going and might have gotten it figured out. Life has been a bit wild for us with my son's recent medical needs, but with no regular meetups for us in this area going I'm...

    N.OR/S.WA meetups

    Hey guys, I'm not going to be able to plan any more N.OR/S.WA meetups, with the complications of my wife's pregnancy I had to take a graveyard job with weekdays off so that I can be available for appointments and such. If someone else wants to step up to run them I have some stuff I can pass on...

    5x8 Trailer build

    After a long wait, my base for a trailer build finally showed up. I ordered it with windows, a powered roof vent, 4" lift, tongue box, and an interior light. I opted to get it without a side door, my logic is that the raised platform inside that I will build would make the door difficult to...
