I think I saw somewhere the difference between a conservationist and an environmentalist. The environmentalist is the person trying to find his place in the unspoiled country to live. The conservationist is the person that is already there and wants to enact regulations to keep the rest out. At least I think it goes something like that.

Here in Oregon, we must be conservationists.

Reasons to avoid Nevada

If Oregon is conservationists, what the &^%$% are Nevadaians??

Mohave Daily News > Archives > News > Local > Snowbirds could have to pay more

For anyone — seniors and non-seniors alike — driving a Class A motor coach and towing a passenger vehicle, the cost of visiting Nevada for an extended period of time increases $41, to a total of $53. That’s money those visitors presumably could have spent buying fuel, eating at restaurants and gambling in the state’s casinos.


Snowbirds will have to pay more

Canada Day, Passport Holders Only

This will be of interest to those Canadians currently traveling out of the Country.

Always carry your passport. You never know when you will need it.

Happy Canada Day.

Practice you reactions for next years RVing

This will pass some time away and give you some useful information on your mental reactions.

If you are RVing you should be able to score .25 consistantly. If not, you need more coffee, or maybe its time to stay home???????????????

Practice will improve your score. No accidents now!

Test your reactions: Play the Sheep Dash game! - Consumer

Enter your score and comments on their site if your want.

To just play the game go here.

How to get rich quick?

This may have been discussed on some other thread as it happened while I was on the road.

My thought here is just start an aluminium structured RV company and sit back and wait on THOR to take you out.

This happened in Aug. 2013

The publicly traded company, which says it is the world’s largest producer of RVs, moved its corporate headquarters from Jackson, Center, Ohio, to Elkhart earlier this year. In August, Thor purchased Livin’ Lite, an RV company headquartered in Wakarusa.
The company reported sales of $3.24 billion for its fiscal year ending July 31. It also reported profits of $151.7 million, a 36 percent jump compared with the previous year.

LivinLite All Aluminum Ultra Light Campers, Ultralight Campers, Lightweight Campers, Ultra-Lightweight Campers

Check out the all aluminium lite products.

The website says:

Livin' Lite is a leading manufacturer of Quicksilver all-aluminum constructed Ultra-Lite Weight Tent Campers, Truck Campers, and Sport Utility Trailers. Unlike traditional tent campers that are constructed of wood, QUICKSILVER features lightweight aluminum construction throughout. Livin' Lite manufactures Quicksilver All Aluminum Ultra Light Campers, Ultralight Campers, Lightweight Campers, Ultra-Lightweight Campers

That tells me all aluminium construction and skin. However, if you go to the 5th wheel section you will find it still rides on steel.

The all-new CAMPLITE 5th wheel line built of aluminum and composites, rides on a LITETECH frame that is hundreds of pounds lighter than a traditionally built steel frame. It is the most technologically advanced steel frame design on the market today. The LITETECH frame is dipped in a protective E-coating that effectively fights oxidation and eliminates the possibility of oxidation spreading should the frame ever suffer a significant scratch. The E-coating dip/bath is expensive, but it is well worth the extra effort and cost.

For those of us who have run the ALCAN route this little video reminds us that it was not always paved.

If you are a Chevy follower this will be a bonus video worth watching.

1957 was a boom year for cars, trucks and full of optimism for the future, but recession hit the industry hard in 1958.



The tough Steamboat mountain shot has now been reduced with the improved highway.

Can you pick up the error in the narrative description of the fleet?

As a matter of fact I do. Every fall I make enough Salsa to have a minimum of 50 gallons on hand. This year I ended up with 56.25 gallons with the heat ranges being from mild to wild. I've been making it for over 20 years so I'm finally getting pretty good at it.

I do not sell it as I eat a lot of it, use it for gifts and treat folks along the way.

How Cold Is It?

With the current lack of GLOBAL WARMING, Canada T builds the new truck for towing that Airstream?

See the truck at about 2:30 of the video.

Great marketing! I wonder if Molson Canadian is clammering to fill the box with their brew?

I like the ice truck almost as much as WestJet's 2014 Christmas Miracle - which now has over 34M hits on Ytube.

Some people (and corporations) ( In the US, corporations are people too, but maybe not in Canada)(I don't know) have too much time on their hands.

Its a quiet 'n cold winter Sunday night in February, and I think we should maybe take this moment to reconsider what camping and spending time in the great outdoors really means to us.
