Re: SLIDE OR NOT?

My DW has had the same thoughts about the use of the truck for dump runs and the like, but fortunately she is a confirmed TC addict for the same reasons many have mentioned. We kept our TC even when our sons got bigger, and tho it was a little bit of a squeeze for them we all have nothing but the fondest memories of our camping treks. Now we have a much bigger and better TC and take the grandkids (still not teenagers) with us. We have an outside shower that serves us well. We're totally happy!344Views0likes0CommentsRe: Lots of crazy weather this week anyone "prepping" their TC?

Here in Colorado we are 50+ degrees one day and 25 the next. Hoping for a warm week while sitting in a blind waiting for the show. We have a sandhill migration stop here in N. Cal., too - near Lodi. They are magnificent birds - great article about your "flocks" in the March "Smithsonian". Hope you're able to see them en-mass. We're on our way to Pinnacles National Monument this week. It's our second time out in the last two weeks after an 18-month hiatus for illness - wow, it's great to be back out! Looking for wildflowers this time after the rains (finally). We may be a little early... We hope the weather in the rest of the country behaves itself for you guys back East.659Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cool way to keep cupboard doors closed

You use the magnetic key each time to open or on the first open, switch the red lever and it remains unlocked. Flip the level again to resume locking. We use these, too; and they definitely lock the doors. We're happy with this fix, as the standard latches were not effective always.389Views0likes0CommentsRe: Yuba River Fly Fishing Trip
Great trip report, though it's a shame about the closed campsites. I think they close them around the 1st of November - you can check the internet to verify. Your pictures especially remind me of my scouting days in the 1950s when we spent a lot of time in those parts - our summer camp was below the Sierra Buttes. We used to have a yearly race to the top and the rangers' lookout. Great fun at that age - just work now, unfortunately...539Views0likes0Comments
