    WOMEN' FORUM: Made It To Quartzsite!

    I am in Ehrenberg looking for some folks to camp near. Hanging out at Flying J now in a tan Toyota Sienna if anyone is around.

    Anyone in Ehrenburg right now?

    Luckily I’m not in a tent. ?. I spent much of the 70s in the Caribbean too. It was a good time to be there!  Can’t deal with rum though. I drank too much Bacardi back then. Lol.

    Anyone in Ehrenburg right now?

    I stayed at Ehrenberg last night. It was windy as heck and dusty. The wind woke me up at 3 AM so I’m sitting at the flying J having coffee at 4 am. Might look for another place to spend a couple of weeks close by if I can’t find some folks to hook up with. Or might stay. Still haven’t decided...

    Where to stop between DHS and RTR?

    I am leaving Desert Hot Springs today and trying to figure out where to stop between here and Quartzsite for a bit. Thought I’d like to see Anza Borrego but their website makes it look like you have to buy an expensive pass to drive into the park. Does anyone have current info on this? Anybody...

    Cheap Hobo Rocket Stove

    I've made several rocket stoves from big popcorn cans. I have photos, but don't know how to post them or if I can.

    Window Coverings

    I sprayed the back of my reflectix with matte black vinyl spray. It worked great for about 2 weeks, then I began noticing black flakes everywhere as it flaked off. Also, I'm having a heck of a time getting reflectix to fit into my 2002 Toyota Sienna windows.  It worked great in my Mercury, but...

    FOR WOMEN ONLY: Do you 'poo

    When I first got bad with MCS, I did no-poo for quite a long time.  I put a tablespoon of baking soda in a glass of warm water and poured it over my head. I rubbed it in, then rinsed. I followed that with a tablespoon of vinegar in a glass of water. Then rinsed. Hair was shiny and soft. When...

    Women's Forum: Posion Oak Remedies

    I use TECNU for Poison Oak. I hate that stuff and get it if I'm within 50 feet. I worked for USFWS and occasionally got it while cutting brush. The Tecnu helped. The WORST I've ever had it was a time I was down at my river property; very remote. I had been sitting on rocks in my bikini. I had...

    Women Only: Washing

    I use a porcelain clad pan I've used for years for bathing. I spread out a towel and put the pan on the towel.  I put warm water in the pan. I wash my face, neck,  and hair (it's very short), then arms, torso, vulva and butt crack   :blush:   then use a squeeze bottle of clean water while...

    Covering Car Windows When Parked

    I got flat black vinyl spray at the auto store and sprayed one side of the reflectix for nighttime. A friend who has van camped for 9 years advised me. I like it because now the panels roll up real nice for storage.

    89 Mercury Tracer - My Home

    This week, I took the front seat out of the Tracer and I also removed the fold down portion of the back passenger seat. This gave me a bit more room than last time.  Originally, I thought I'd cut up my Tempurpedic mattress to fit back there, but after remembering what it cost me, I found a...

    Valley Fever should I be concerned?

    Hi Dawn, I grew up in the San Joaquin Valley and had Valley Fever as a child. As a result I have a "nodule" on my lungs that causes the doctors to freak out everytime they do an x-ray. I carry around an old xray just to show them it's always been there.  That is the only side affect of my Valley...

    Car camping

    No, but I set up my Mercury Tracer back in 2011. Here is a blog on how we built the bed. I lived in this for about 6 months. I'm considering doing it again and this time will remove the back seats also for more space.  Building the Car Bed
