This might be a good place to address something Cyndi had in her blog: people selling RVs that put no pertinent info in their ads and act like you are bothering them when you ask for more pix or simple, basic info like mileage or engine size or length or if the damned thing has a generator...or...

Got any pix of Ruby Mae?? Not sure exactly what a canned ham camper is?? You don't mean a tear-drop or fiberglass egg trailer do you?? Pardon my lack of expertise...could you mention a brand slash manufacturer slash model so I can Google your canned ham?? You've found a great site...

To WheelsofFreedom76---ahh-haa...your post brings out the very essence of my question!!!!! If you have a buffalo tools $169 2000watt gennie that's powering your ac in 104 degree heat and apparently working....why would you contemplate spending almost a thousand dollars for a yamaha or honda (or...

Hey 4x4, yep, what you shared is EXACTLY why I am hesitant to jump into foraging for edibles...you really need to KNOW what you are eating...and as I remember the old farmer did JUST take leaves and said to forget the rest...my memory is hazy on exactly what he said...hence my asking for an...
