    Homelessness [split from Leadville and Salida Ranger Districts]

    Oh, so I should have gone to Wikipedia for more information! Thank you, Morgana! I'm all for freedom of speech but I'm not for freedom for people to camp on sidewalks in big cities in front of businesses or other people's homes. I still believe camping is for campgrounds! If a city wants to...

    I Want Buddy Heater Safety Tips

    The trailer I have does change over... when a propane tank empties the other one is used automatically. So, this is not common with all? Does it depend on the age of the trailer?

    Homelessness [split from Leadville and Salida Ranger Districts]

    1. Frisco - a term never used by residents of the San Francisco area. I was born in Oakland and spent a large part of my life living in the SF East Bay Area and a small part of my life living in San Francisco itself. My oldest son still lives nearby and works in the city. For future reference -...

    I Want Buddy Heater Safety Tips

    Good idea. Get someone to visit you who can get it working for you. If it doesn't light up a part may need to be replaced. It happens, but should be a minor repair if needed.

    I Want Buddy Heater Safety Tips

    I lived in a travel trailer ( TT ) for the last three years. At first the propane bottles seemed difficult to change but once I got used to it, it became easy enough. I had to run downtown every couple weeks for refills but the men working at Napa Auto Parts made it as easy as possible for me to...

    Happy to say - only 45 degrees here and no snow. We're expecting rain again tomorrow and most of the rest of the week. Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains of Northern California. Snow upstream on Grayback Mountain seemed to melt in our last rainstorm as the water in Indian Creek was exceptionally high...

    PS. In the video I posted above... the story about how Happy Camp was named is false. John Camp didn't name Happy Camp after himself. It was more of a group decision - probably before John Camp arrived in town. There are several stories of how the place was named floating around.

    Escape in New York

    I'd just leave already... keep it simple. You have plenty of income. Just get rid of your excess material possessions and start driving south for the winter. Don't over-complicate things by buying solar and a heavy tent first. You'll figure out what you need as you travel. There will be plenty...

    I was obsessed with the idea of "chasing 70 degrees" in my van... now I just set the thermostat for 70 and it stays that way day or night. I've been in the house almost a month already. Today I found out about this video re: Happy Camp. The photo of Dennis Day at 2 minutes, 9 seconds into the...

    Nature Lover and friends keep in touch

    What fun things you did, Nature Lover... Peter's coat, Charlotte's Web, the talking tree... memories are golden. Who ever gets to do these things? Must be Nature Lover! I now have Edie and Miss Potter in my TBW list (to be watched) ... found them on Amazon and bookmarked them. Thank you! So...

    I have the remains of one of those popup canopies in my yard - it was my daughter's. I also have one *never used* in my cargo trailer. I wasn't going to put it up unless the weather was right and I had sand for sandbags that attach to the poles. I guess I never found the need. The trailer had an...

    Thanks for the recipe and this sounds good to me. It has been a long time since I made or ate biscuits and now you have me wanting some. Yes, of course space is limited in your trailer and why didn't I think of that after living in a trailer three years? You made an awesome pantry. Thanks for...

    Our snow from yesterday has melted already, but more is expected tonight and during the week to come. We're way overdue for a heavy snowfall - not that I'm looking forward to it - but the forest needs it.
