    Hot Springs

    yeah, deep creek is awesome. it's about 40 miles from where i live in the summer. unfortunately graffiti has started to show up along the trail from Bowen ranch to the springs within the last year. and a couple of weeks ago, according to a post on the DCHS web site some drunk kid was shooting...

    Hot Springs

    Moby T, i was here from the first week of Jan to Feb 15, so it looks like we did overlap. It's still pretty awesome here even with the hotter weather. Getting pretty deserted too, most of the Canadians are moving on.

    selling DVDs anyone?

    i don't have that many right now. i've just been buying and selling a few here and there for me to watch. but i do plan on trying this in the winter, when i travel. your local craigslist is a good source, also pawn shops. most pawn shops are selling for 2 to 3 bucks each DVD. but once in a while...

    Panhandling & begging question

    i haven't done it (yet), but can tell you where not to do it. i always get hit up at a gas station. i think most people are not feeling real generous after paying a good chunk of a weeks wages to fill the tank. better places would be near a restaurant or freeway off ramp.&nbsp;

    selling DVDs anyone?

    i've noticed that when i'm traveling, having plenty of DVDs along is nice. i usually buy used DVDs along the way and sell them when i'm done with them. i usually pay from 2-3 bucks for a used DVD. this got me thinking, so i did some research and it's pretty easy to find good titles for about...

    Canadians in the USA

    i spent a few weeks during last winter along the California/Mexico border. it was 90% Canucks who were camped there. many had been coming for years. i don't think there's an issue with it. they all told me about the great deals in Mexico on dental and vision services, so even going into Mexico...

    Quartzsite rants and raves

    Quartzsite is a weird place. the first time i went i said i'd never go back, and i've gone every year since. i'm a swap meet freak, and the swap meet stuff (junk) is way overpriced. but i'm from soCal where swap meets are part of the culture, i expect deals. so i avoid that and stock up on...

    RTR January 2012 is scheduled!!

    seeing that camp fire ring made me think of something. i don't know what cords of wood go for in QZ, but if everyone pitched in a few bucks we could get a cord (or 2) delivered, way more practical than those 7-8 dollar bundles. just gotta find a place that sells cords and delivers. around here...

    I love this woman's Van, and just wanted to share!

    that style camper van is really cool, i've only seen a few, and never one for sale. i think they're somewhat rare. here in soCal anyway. which ironically is where she lives. i've never seen the insides before this, now i want one too!<br>

    Survival Food

    the Mormon Church has canneries all over the place. anyone can use their equipment to can food that they sell. there's lots of info on YouTube and other sites. the food is mostly stuff that's meant for long term storage, and put up in #10 cans. the only thing is you need a few people to help...
