The upper end FrogTogs are pretty amazing. I use them motorcycling and stay dry at 60 mph in the pouring rain and road spray.

Bull's Bay SC produces the best oysters on the planet. Close second is Apalachicola, FL. Not a fan of the TX oysters. PNW oysters are good, but for the money, check out those.....buy 'em by the bushel and pop 'em on the grill till they just pop open!

Ann's Best Creole and Soul Food in the Richland airport complex if you're ever in the area around lunchtime!

Yeah, the campgrounds have gotten out of control. People just seem to have no respect for others around them. We were in Furnace Creek campground back in Jan and checked out early due to the inconsiderate people. I've camped at rock concert campgrounds that were more subdued!

Lmuma only has a couple of campsites, but if you head upstream from there, the wade fishing is pretty accessible. Don't forget the recreation areas in the canyon aren't Discover Pass areas anymore (and haven't been for years now).

Well, what'd you find Steve? I gave it a whirl a couple of days ago without much success other than a few small dinks down by the tip of Bateman.

Remember the movie Deliverance? Anything north of Highway 12, and particularly Weippe on up, you'll feel like you're in that movie. Great fishing, hunting, hiking and camping though.

We've got one up on Mill Creek Rd in Walla Walla between the fire station and Kooskooskie. Have seen it on the hill behind the house, caught it on trail cam once, and saw it in the front yard about 2 months ago. Shocking how big they are.

Switched to boot-foot waders for my winter excursions a few years ago. Helps tremendously with the cold feet problem, and easy to put a pair of footwarmers in them, though without oxygen, they don't last too long.

Ha! We did get some rain though. And hiking in 60 degree temps in Jan to beat the WA winter blues can't be beat....unless one goes to Tucson.....where there actually is some fishing!

12V refrigerator/freezer and a house battery solve that problem as long as you have a way to recharge the house battery. Plenty on the market, I went with the SetPower 37 qt model and haven't been disappointed. Just spent 9 days in Death Valley in Jan, and didn't once worry about ice.

Yahoo is the worst.

Boundary Waters definitely deserved to be protected. Spent some time up there as a Boy Scout oh so many years ago. Fantastic experience. Hope my grandkids also get to experience it. Still, quite a bit different now based on relatively recent excursions up there. When I was up there as a Boy...

Thankful to have seen CSN in Buffalo with the Grateful Dead in the 90s. Crosby's books about his life and struggles were an inspiration to me when dealing with my own. Deja Vu has to be one of the all-time greats. Works well when working in the kitchen, around the campfire, driving down the...

AK inland passage at the end of Aug for silvers, kings, halibut, ling, and some rockfish.

The small solar generators are more than sufficient to run a 110 outlet for low watt applications, power LED lights, recharge phones and batteries, etc. And with most of them good for at least 1000 charge/discharge cycles, should last for years.

With today's solar generators, there's no need for the traditional gas powered generator. Do yourself and your camping neighbors a favor and go the Li PO4 route for power. More than enough to do everything you want without the noise.

We bought a 2021 Toyota Sienna hybrid AWD for my wife to camp out of by herself (she refuses to drive the RAM 3500 and pull a trailer). I pulled out the middle seats (have to install air bag system jumpers to keep the system functional), leveled the floor with the rear row of seats folded down...

Forget the Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth Chris Tomlinson, Jason Stanford Puts to rest the myth we all grew up with of the battle at the Alamo, the men involved (Bowie, Crockett, Houston, others), and what the battle was really about. Of course, none of this can be talked about in...
