The people were incredibly friendly... stopped to ask a question and got invited in for dinner. lol It was not as pretty as I expected (though I don't know what I was expecting) and it was different seeing 4-5 BIG black men split up to let a white boy have the sidewalk. Saw my first car load of...

Near Deming is Silver City a nice drive getting there and if you take Hwy 15 North out of Silver City it's a beautiful mountain and wooded drive all the way to Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument (numerous free camping areas along hwy 15). Come back down from Gila and go left on Hwy 35 to San...

1989 my dog Shaggy and I spent 20 days in a tent at Croft State Park Spartanburg.. Shaggy kept me warm at night and protected the camp while I worked at Phillips Fibers.

For me the big thing is... the vehicle is mainly a bedroom, "you live outside the vehicle". Inside the trailer can be as comfortable as you make it... a toilet, small kitchen area for inclimate weather, but, figure on the world being the living room. A canopy is a wonderful thing.

Common sense... I know it's not so common any more, but, really..... park in the shade with windows rolled down a little, go shopping after dark with windows cracked. Oh, and if your walking - pick your foot up before you trip over the curb.

So women really are nasty after all??? My momma didn't lie to me :cool:

That would depend on how violent the crash was. IF you are that concerned about a head on crash, put a piano hinge and latch over one edge of the drawers... then the whole cabinet will hit you from behind instead of dumping drawers on the floor. NOTHING will hold drawers shut during a violent...

Dang... felony water hose theft.

Yes some are, but, let's not paint with too broad a brush... in ANY dept. you can figure on 10% being crooked in one way or another... we do our best to police our own (internal affairs division, civilian oversite), but, "you never catch every fish in the pond".

For a privacy curtain behind the drivers seat in my van I went very cheap (BUT very effective)... eye screws straight above the seats on the side frames, 10 ga wire strung across - 10 spring steel curtain rings on wire, small hook screwed into headliner in center for support... now the expensive...

Once the ropes are tightened, they provide even support under the mattress... just tighten ropes as you go. Very comfortable.

You can stay in the SW and stay in good weather ... low desert in winter, high desert in summer. AZ or NM in winter and Leadville, CO Twin Lakes area in summer.. easy and beautiful drive. Personally I like the Socorro / Magdalena NM ... Box Canyon or Water Canyon area - BLM free camping. So much...

Blakes Lot-a-burger Green Chili Burger is almost the best thing on this earth. I can't remember what the best thing was lol

BLM (unless they have changed the rules this year) require you to move a reasonable distance every 14 days - a reasonable distance used to be considered 20 miles. If you were at Plomosa/ Hi Jolly/ Quartzsite you could move to Ehrenberg or down to KOFA toward Yuma etc... Hi Jolly to Plomosa...

You are right JDub, I used to tell my Police Officers - " Be nice, until it's time to not be nice... I'll tell you when that is ". People don't realize or accept that LEO's are just folks trying to do their job and go home safe at the end of the day. Your attitude directly affects our attitude -...

Welcome Brian... I'm kinda partial to the Silver City / Socorro area. Good luck with your travels - Twin Lakes outside Leadville, CO is a comfortable place to summer.

I would like to think that was what I was trying to say... people used to leave folks stuff alone, theft wasn't as prevalent and people didn't wear "I don't want to get involved blinders". You display a shotgun when you are there, people see and know you have it... they wait and watch you leave...

I have a Ford E150. we put a full size bed mattress across the back of our van using a "hollywood" bed frame that I cut the legs off of... mattress 70x52 ( cut 4.5 inches off mattress length )... mattress supported by 2x4 slats for breathability. I have 5 plastic totes with folding lids for...

I have an 8" foam mattress that STARTED on a plywood platform and like Luis (Rolling Earthship) mine was getting damp on bottom. I set mattress out in sun to air dry, removed the plywood and added a few 2x4 slats in the middle where I sit. I have 7 2x4 slats - 6" in from head and foot, 8" in...
