My best friend and her husband are camp hosts in Catalina St Park campground A. They love it there. We also loved Kartchner Caverns as well, the campground was full of friendly people and a very nice place to stay. Thanks for sharing the pictures they are nice, except for maybe getting...

So many do not do any research before buying so they get all excited about the 'bling' and don't even look at how the unit is made and the parts you can't see. I am so glad we are not looking for anything 'new' now. There are even those full timers who run workshops on how to buy an old unit...

Enjoy your trip and have a safe one.

Tom is the social one of this pair. I prefer boon docking over campgrounds and most of the people that go dry camping are fine with being by themselves. When in a campground I will smile and acknowledge people yet seldom start a conversation, unless of course they have a dog I find...

It looks very nice, and don't you just love having a truck that is a pulling beast. I feel so safe in our F350 pulling that it makes some of those roads with a drop off to one side, seem not so scary. Wait I lied they still terrify me!!!!!!

Welcome. We loved Craters of the Moon, a fascinating place, just be sure to stay on the paths!

Photography and cameras can be a black hole and a Pandora's box. Weight can be a real consideration with the cost the biggest restraint. Not only is there many different sizes of lenses, there is a difference of the f stop of the lens and quality of the lens. A full frame or crop frame...

If all you want a good 'vacation' photos stay with your phone or a good point and shoot. When using a real camera pixels do count in the end product. If you want to post them on social media or get a fine print there is a huge difference. I personally will not give up my 'big' Canon and the...

You got wild and crazy with the color didn't you? I never pictured you as the red truck sort of guy, glad Karen is a good influence! Bah ha ha ha. Looks good.

Labs are such dorks!

Yes, I also have the stand and the stainless steel spigot. The filters are included when you buy it, they are expensive yet they filter everything you would want out of any water and they filter 6,000 gallons. I will get more filters this fall or winter when they go on sale.

I was sold on the Berky after I studied several systems and for the way we camp a whole camper system was not needed and it was very expensive. While camping at Pactola Lake in SD we visited with some folks from California who have had one and loved it. They can get their water anywhere and...

Beautiful, not like the brown water in Iowa!

I think so, can't remember the tank size. We have collapsible totes for carrying water as well and I carry drinking water in a seperate container ( 5 gal. ). One of my favorite investments was my Berky travel size water filtering system. Now I don't have to buy water in those awful plastic...

How long always depends on where you are and if there is water available somewhere. The longest we dry camped was 6 weeks, this of course was with access to a dump site and fresh water. By conserving we can go 2 weeks.
