Pretty Special - both the biking and the way they are Camp Inn.

Couple of thoughts here. 1) Do you want to be camping (cooking/eating outside) or Motor homing (bringing the equivalent of your house to a spot in the outdoors so you don't have to be outdoors). 2) if you divide the number of nights you have been in your rig, by the number of dollars you have...

Awesome - you will love it. Make sure you allocate enough time, it's farther than you think to get around the park. Spend some time on the coast there are parking lots with trails to the beach. An added benefit is to watch for big tide swings so you can hit the beach with a big low tide...

Well - the best I can tell as they are obviously Old Growth Fir, Spruce and Hemlock is that because the Queets river flows through the National Park as the river eats away at the river banks along with mud slides - these trees work their way down the Queets out into the Pacific and there where...

Saw a CI Camper at South Beach Campground in Olympic National Park on Thursday. It had a WA plate. Spent a few days out there - it is such a remote spot. 4 hours from Seattle. Check out the size of the driftwood on the beach (notice the people) - miles of nothing but sand, rocks and...

Awesome pictures, your hobby focus shows for sure - brings back some great memories of those parks and why they are so special.

Nicely done! Love the lighting. Frank Poole would have loved this. Search the forums for "Margaritas" and I'm sure you'll find pictures of him and his mixer. My wife and I grew up in Rochester - home of the Nick Tahoe's "garbage plate" and Zweigles "white hots". Still order them online...

RMBL- INN – Second Hundred Nights. One of our goals after I retired was to visit all the National Parks – so a big piece of the second one hundred nights was our various excursions to knock off some of the parks. There were three of four trips that we took RMBL-INN with us and then one East...

Thats great news - I had sent them both an email and a post card asking about the awards and didn't hear back. Glad to hear that all is well. They did a great service to the Camp Inn community for many years. Camp Inn ambassadors they were. Thank you Bob and Kathy!!!

I know this is a bit late as you will have already done the trip to the Keweenaw Pennisula... but for others who might be heading out there. We camped at Wilkinson State Park just outside of Cooper Harbor and the ranger there let us leave our TD in the Park Equipment Lot while we took the ferry...

I have 550 #524 and Cary and I worked through the airplane wing scenario several years ago. I removed the mattress from the TD and drove in a heavy rain (I live in Seattle) at 75 mph (towing with a Subaru Outback). The plywood floor was covered in small water puddles. I then put a piece of...

Steve, Awesome restoration! I have a bunch of Griswald skillets in the kitchen - they are seasoned and our primary cooking pans. If you can find the miniature versions of the pans that were used by the salesman or especially a complete store display with all the miniatures - you will have hit...

Yes - I forgot Wegmans - an amazing family-owned business story for sure and an amazing shopping experience. I'm a 1971 Gates-Chili grad and Linda is "Miss Eastridge" -1971. I went to college in Potsdam for a few years - awesome country. Anyone remember a Campi's "Bomber"? Would love to take...

Kelly and Ruger - Linda and I are originally from Rochester. We miss Zwigles White Hots, Don and Bobs, and the famous garbage plate at Nick Tahoe's. We both grew up with family spots on the finger lakes. Glad you have joined the CI family. We moved to the West Coast after college - most...

I wanted to jump in on the HiCamp discussion. We have been to exactly two. My son got us a gift certificate for Christmas last year so we had to try. Our friends booked the first one near Mt Rainier, basically a farm/ranch near Randle, WA - it was strategically located on a huge oxbow like...

Hi Kevin - this guy at Weaver has a ton of videos and he is a great instructor - step by step.

Agreed - I watched some youtube videos and made some leather sheaths. Everything back there gets banged around a lot.

We are the same - we move the TD around often - especially for pointing the noise into the wind for the stove. Also some campsites are crazy unlevel - where you might have one wheel off the ground and the front jack extended a bit. Its fun watching the camper van guys try to level their...

I carry a .1 micron backcountry water filter just in case we run out of potable water and need to use say river water. Sorry about the separate posts - mouse issue :)

Hi Steve, You are correct, I only use potable water in the TD. I am careful about sanitizing the tank and we have always used the water for drinking. The filter is a .5 micron carbon block type and handles PFAS, PFOA/PFOS, rust, some chlorine... but not pathogens. I carry a .
