    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    I have to agree on the floor. The one offered by Gazelle will collect water. I have been using these sand mats which dry very quickly as well. CGEAR Original Sand-Free Outdoor... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1J1K7G6?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

    I use a high frequency device from Home Depot. They seem to work as I turned it on and walked in the garage sometime later and found a mouse on the ground panting and out of it. Guess they can’t stand the higher frequencies.

    It has rained 10 of the last 11 days in Alaska. But that is fairly normal for them. Headed to Vancouver now in extreme fog. There’s goes that fog horn again!

    We were able to tour the prison in French Guiana in January which the movie Papillion was based upon while on a tour to and up the Amazon. Presently we’re in Alaska at Glacier Bay. Quite the contrast in seven months.

    We love to camp at Hunting Island. Always find sharks teeth on the beach. I believe some scenes from Forest Gump were filmed near Beaufort.

    Tripod Torch

    Guess I’m an overachiever because I have been known to bring the Campfire in a Can and the Solo Ranger on a trip.

    Lots of opinions on Canopies

    We bought the G5 about 8 months ago after owning two Clams. I agree that the Gazelle seems to be slightly higher quality. The stakes are impressive. I do see that Gazelle came out with Tri-Mesh screening material which supposedly allows for improved air flow. We did spring for the floor; but it...

    I’m from NC and I met my wife in Southern CA. Moved her to NC and culture shock set in! Surprised both of us. A new job took us to Florida which is a melting pot of America and all is good.

    Swimming Bear

    There are lots of wild hogs in Florida. They run in packs and normally not aggressive, but can be. With all the new subdivisions going up; the owners are having fits on what the hogs do to their yards. Some yards look like a plow went thru them. The state is paying trappers to reduce the...

    Swimming Bear

    We camp frequently in and around Ocala National Forest in Central Florida. We have encountered several bears while hiking, geocaching, or off road jeeping in my wife’s off road jeep. Only once have we seen one in a campground due to someone leaving out dog food. But others have told us that...

    Owyhee, Or Overland Trip

    There was a TV show about 10 to 15 years ago where teams raced across Alaska. A team in a factory 4 Runner kept up with the specialized vehicles.

    The Tearjerkers Florida Chapter is floundering. It used to be a very active group. I always enjoyed their annual gathering at Tomoka State Park. I guess there are many distractions in life compared to even what it was 20 years ago? Their Facebook Page rarely sees a post.

    We just inverse it in Florida. It’s a game among some of my friends to see who is the last to turn on their furnace in the winter! I’m just a spectator on that one.

    2 Dumb Things

    I have used LensCrafters while traveling for emergency repairs on my eyeglasses. They have always done so without a charge, and have politely refused to take a tip both times. And I had not bought them from LensCrafters. Discount tire seems to operate on the same policy. At least in the...
