Well, today is my last day of work for the week. Im off for the next two days. So Im heading to the mountains. To me its like going home. During the week when Im working I stay at walmart or home depot. Then on the weekends I go to the mountains and camp out for two days. In a couple months that will change and everyday will be the weekend. I wont have internet where Im going so I wont be on here. I will be back either monday night or tuesday morning. I will take pictures and post them when I get back. Its beautiful in the mountains of washington. Im leaving this afternoon. Today is usually the longest day of the week for me. Catch Ya later.

I thought about sneeking up to the clock and move it ahead, but I only think that works in my imagination. I guess I should just stop starring at it.
 
This will have to hold you over till I get back.<br />All these pictures are within a few miles of where I camp.

No, its bigfoot. He told me not to take it but I did anyway. Dont tell him cause I have to live with him. That reminds me I think I need to watch harry and the hendersons again. That was filmed by where I will be. One more hour and Im gone. Wish you all could come with.
 
Enjoy! I'll be traveling a bunch in the next month or so ( about 3000 miles total) two getaways comming up. Love the " I'm hitting the road" feeling.
 
Hi, Im back with pictures. These are pics of my campsite. The picture with the orange bucket to right is my toilet. I bought a 5 gal. bucket from home depot. I use the bucket with a scented trash bag from walmart as a liner, and I bought a piece of foam pipe insulation from home depot to wrap the lip. It works very well and the scented trash bag does pretty good on the oder, at least for a weekend, along with the lid.&nbsp; If your there longer you should change the trash bag more often. I run a rope from one corner of the camper around a tree to the other corner&nbsp;of the camper to form a triangle&nbsp;and use&nbsp;tarps as a wall to close off the toilet and shower area.
 
This is my solar shower warming in the sun. If the sun is out it works pretty good, if not I heat some water to add to it and it works&nbsp; good. I hang it on the tree that is part of my wall. It has an on/off switch. I wet myself down soap up and rinse off. And Im clean. Its good for the summer, but I will probably go with a propane shower when the sun doesnt shine so much.
 
This is how far I had to haul firewood. The woods is where my campsite is, about the length of a football field. Good exercise. Well, thats it. Enjoy.
 
I felt like arnold in beginning of commando, minus the muscles.
 
So where are you...??? I am now in the Cascades a little east of Greenwater (off 410) for the next 2 weeks... Then heading back down CA way to the Sierras.... Wanna hook up, I have an excellent camp site...

Im back in puyallup to work for the week.I will see what happens for work this week . If its slow I will come up and meet with you. If I dont make it in the next couple days I will definently come up this weekend. Funny, I thought about going to greenwater this last weekend. Im 40 miles from there right now. Are you on the 7030 road?
