Eastern Sierras weekend, got a little rain but overall great weekend!

 

Rapidan wma VA

 

I will never understand that.

 

Yesterday

 

Hot?

 

Probably just another Sasquatch attack, happens all the time.

 

Not here. Maybe 80.

 

couldn't hardly as for better than that... good stuff!

 

New Taco owner of nearly 2 months now. Just remembered that I have an access pass to National Parks in the US for free due to my disability. Can anyone offer suggestions on where to go for dispersed camping? I have never done that and the pictures you all post have me dying for some adventures.

 

The Access Pass is good for half off of a lot of places.
Not dispersed, but look at Army Corps of Engineers campgrounds.

You are close to a lot of USACE campsites.
Most backpacking permits in Federal land is halfed too. (NOT GRAND CANYON, THE BASTARDS)

 

I now have a 9', 16', & 20' Kelty Noah tarp. OCD???
All discounted. They seem tough.
I also like the Kelty Adjustable Poles. I use the 6' REI poles, much weaker, but still good.

Do you find that one of the sides is sloppy when you pull all 4 corners tight?

 

They still make the Noah's Tarps but now they're green color. I've got the 12 and 16. Tried them both out yesterday and last night. The 16 is a beast. I can't imagine having a 20' that they now offer. I just packed them both up just now. For poles I use some I found on Ebay that come two in a set and the seller had a make an offer so I got two sets for less than $50.

I'm still trying to master my tarp setup.

 

I have the Tsuga Tarp 10 (10x10) for over a campground table. The REI adj pole works great to hold the center of the tarp up. I used a 1 1/4" dowel, rounded end, with a hole for the pole spike so the tarp does not get damaged.
I got 3/4" or 7/8" pole supplies from Quest Outfitters, They work good.

The diagonal on the 20' is over 28'. I have not set it up yet. 25% discount from Kelty, I had to buy something. The 9' & 20' are both green.
Sacks, the 9' is in a small sack, the 20' sack is huge.
The replacement Kelty adj pole came in a mesh sack.

I also bought another set of 4 Orange Screws.
I am thinking of making some sand sacks. But, we do not go to the beach often.

 

The vortex is coming

 

Hot on the heels of the WABDR trip, we re-provisioned and headed out again just 17 hours later - this time to Idaho to meet up with a couple fellow TWers. Our ultimate destination being California, it was a bit out of our way - but in the end, so worth it. If you've never been, the Sawtooth's are amazing.

Awesome pic.

 

Care to share the campsite location? Beautiful

 

Near the Grand Tetons. I believe the area was called shadow mountain.

 

Here's the next installment of our recent Idaho trip with Ben and Mikey. Truly an amazing couple of days - the most glorious sunrise I've ever seen. EVER. And a really fun adventure to one of the highest roads in Idaho (and the excitement along the way). Oh, and the Sawtooths - so much, in so little time!
