I am finishing up my work contract in Arizona and I am heading back to Loveland in a couple of days. Looking forward to getting together with some of you. Heading back through Monument Valley and Moab. Hope to get some good pix.

My original offroad teardrop trailer build included 31" with 5x4.5 lug spacing tires trailer tires. I got a lot of comments on the size of the tires. The problem for me is that the Jeep has 35" tires with 5x5.5 lug spacing. It was always a hassle lugging two spares around. I finally swapped...

Chime in and lets get a rough head count on how many travel/camp outside of cell service.

Just a heads up if you change tire size. Changing the tire size will change your speedo reading. You might get a speeding ticket when you think your are on the speed limit. Just in case, grab your GPS and have it give you a speed reading and correlate it to your speedo. In many vehicles you...

I am new to the area and want to find all the best trails. Anybody have any tips, or want to tag along? I am hoping to head out tomorrow or Saturday July 18 for anything from one to three days. Like to take lots of pix and with the recent rains, hopefully the desert will be blooming.

I just got settled in Prescott Arizona and want to start getting out and doing Arizona and possibly southern Utah excursions. I get a three day weekend every other weekend. I like to pull my trailer and can drop it at a base camp to explore or if it is a moderate trail, pull it along. I am...

I am an aerospace engineer who does contract work all over the country. My home is in Northern Colorado but I just got a 6-8 month contract in Prescott, AZ. I am married (46 years), but will be by myself. I am a non-smoker. I would like to have at least minimal access to a kitchen, and don't...

I am busy repairing a bad centering ball on my front driveshaft to get ready for a big snow storm.. They are forecasting two to four feet of snow in the next 48 hours. The only people I trust less than politicians are weather forecasters. I figure we might get 10 inches. I will be ready...

I have been modifying and building hot rods and off road vehicles for 50 years. One of my passions is keeping a 35 year old vehicle in like new conditions. That gets a bit hard when I have flipped and flopped it a few times. It has never been garaged so the cheap automotive paint rarely...

This is a great idea for holding all kinds of items.

Some time ago the forum changed something to do with signatures and their content. For several years I had a pix of my rig in my signature. It was small and not over obtrusive. I also had a link for both my Offroad teardrop build thread and my Vehicle build thread. It seems I can no longer...

Heading down from SLC/Park City Utah and thinking about hitting SW Utah over the three day weekend. Want to take a bunch of pix and unwind. Want to explore this corner of the US since it is one of the few areas I haven't visited much other than to blast through on the Interstate. Anybody want...

Upgraded my Nikon D5000 to a D5300 recently and I am going to head our about midnight Mountain Time to try it out on some sky pix. Anybody else heading out. They predict the peak around midnight Mountain Time.

I have noticed on recurring Rally Points, the RSVPs do not reset for new iterations of the occurrence of an event. This leads to maxing out the number of RSVPs available and users getting an error message about the max RSVPs being exceeded. There needs to be a way to clear/reset the counter.

I wanted to not clutter the forum with some information for a member roam_co85 and was plagued with an error message that the message has to be less than 420 characters. I think the message is wrong. It appears that you are limited to around 128 characters. This makes it a pain to do any...

I am contemplating a 3 day weekend on the White Rim Trail (Moab). I am planning on arriving Thursday evening and camping at Island in the Sky somewhere, and starting the actual trail early Friday morning. Camping Friday night and Saturday on the trail and heading back Sunday. My tentative...

After doing an OB outing, I was surprised the number of young kids. I think there were 15 kids under 12. I enjoyed them but is that normal. How about everybody chime in and say where they are from and if they camp with young kids and how many.

I hate to break the bad news but the snowpack this year is record breaking. On over the whole state of Colorado, we are at 193% of average and the San Juan's (southwest Colorado) are at 302%. Current reports are that the road from Silverton to Animus Forks (part of the Alpine Loop) may not...

I am a new Ham, but in no way new to radio and communications. I have been designing spread spectrum radios for commercial and military use for years. Getting the Ham license was a breeze because the technical stuff is what I do all day. I have used EchoLink over the web and my cell phone...

I was gifted a membership almost a year ago by a member. I am wanting to renew, but have not received any email and at first glance haven't found a button. How do I know when my membership is up? How do I renew?
