Either Spring Mountains NRA or Sam's Casino

Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is delightful, cool and green. I think that it has four National Forest Service campgrounds. It is about an hour west of downtown, past Red Rocks. We stayed...

Very happy with our Frontier

We tow with a 2013 4WD Frontier. Fuel economy on highways is only 14 or 15 mpg. The 4WD is great on bad roads- we have made a wrong turn once in a national forest and used the low range of 4WD to...

I have thought about making pita on an outside grill

At home I make whole-wheat sourdough pita or pizza. They can be made on a griddle or frying pan instead of in an oven, and they bake fast. I plan to try it while camping some day.

Fall color

I want to follow the fall color change from Maine down to Georgia. I have lived in Southern California for the last twenty years and greatly miss the colors of my youth.

Does anyone want my old trailer cover? I don't know the brand. It is gray and fits a 17 foot Casita with roof-mounted air conditioner. Should fit other fiberglass trailers as well. No door.
I don't...

Frosty two weeks ago

We were camping with friends near Yellowstone two weeks ago. Temperatures got down to 26F (-3 C) three nights in a row.

Four liter Rangers had bigger brakes

At least in 2001 the 4L Rangers had much bigger brakes than the 3L Rangers. (My brother-in-law once put the smaller rotors on my Ranger so the calipers extended over the edge of the rotors.)

Making hummus without a food processor

At home we frequently make hummus in a food processor. How do people make hummus in camp?
With a potato masher?
With a potato ricer?
With a food mill?
With a mortar and pestle or a molcajete?...

I used a butyl tape that I bought from an RV store. I think that it is normally used to seal RV windows and other exterior openings.
I don't have a part number or even the name of the manufacturer.

Are these systems useful as rear view cameras while towing or are they only used for backing up?

I actually have Longview CTM2200A mirrors.

My comments above were actually about the Longview mirrors.
eTrailer has several photos of the Longview CTM2200A mirrors and a video.

Ranger brakes

4 liter V6 Rangers have bigger brake rotors than 3 liter V6 Rangers. (My mechanic once put the wrong rotors on my Ranger.)

Range has six cylinders

It has a 4 liter six with a five speed automatic. Both engine and transmission were new for 2001 so I was taking a chance when I bought it. I have heard that the smaller 3 liter six would not do well...
