I didn't actually see this thing, but thought it was pretty interesting. Each leg supports 35 tonnes.

I am contemplating whether I want to go to AZ this winter, or just stay home due to the plague being handled so abysmally poorly in this country. This is a serious, possibly life or death decision for someone my age. (I wish I were in almost "any" other country right now). A major consideration...

For people traveling in the west, especially California, this is proving to be a bad year for wild fires. Recently there were 3 "massive" fires encircling the San Francisco bay area. There is another huge one ongoing up towards Redding. It pays to check the wildfire websites when traveling...

About 23', this rig is incredible, able to drive through water up to 3-feet deep. Some people sure know how to have fun. 4.5M people found it interesting.

I'm reposting this in a new thread, as I think it got totally lost in the banter on the other thread. Some of us may want to be wearing masks in public as this epidemic hopefully subsides. (original courtesy of Minivanmotoman). Materials...

as indicated, as of March 27. https://www.blm.gov/alert/az-covid-19-updates "Currently, BLM-managed lands in Arizona are open, including campgrounds, day-use areas, and trails. Existing rules and regulations apply. Entrance and day use fees have been waived. Other fees, such as overnight...

An off-forum angel sent me this post about lenny flank, who hasn't posted here since November. I assume it's the same lenny.

For better or for worse, I decided to start a new thread, mainly for providing information, as the other threads have devolved a lot into personal disagreements.  Please only post here if you want to add information links. And try to make them from reputable sites that are providing...

Report tonight on 60 Minutes about automated driver-less trucking. I mention it here, mainly because the road testing is primarily being done on I-10 between Tucson and the middle of Texas, so people may see this rigs while traveling that corridor...

I am interested in what people have been doing to stay healthy when on the road. Not about exercising (there is a parallel thread for that) or "carrying" (there are many many threads for that), but general precautions for staying well and not getting sick, like winter time diets, supplements...

So Cammalu, how are things at YARC camp? Has it been overrun by mobs? I imagine Doug has been sorting it all out. After all, YARC camp is out on the edge of miles and miles of open space where few ever camp. Hope it's going well.

Thought this was kind of a cool alternative to a teardrop. Tall enough inside you can sit up with your feet on the floor. Enough room behind the bed to customize things. Lots of storage under the bed. I had been following Feathers (trailname) doing the PCT. She finished a week ago, just in...

(making a new thread to avoid OT'ing on Luci). I've had one of these pop-up lanterns in the van for a year, and absolutely love it. Runs off 3 AA cells. You can open it up fully for mucho light, or just slide it open a little bit when you get up in the night and don't want yer retinas blasted...

Jim, do you have a good app or website for locating cell towers? I looked around using my laptop browser, but the sites I found didn't seem to work very well.
