Duro Canyon this weekend when a thunderstorm dumped hail on us.  The
hail "cracked" the outer vinyl layer of the fold-out tent ends of our
camper. The hail did not penetrate the canvas, but the "cracks" in the

I'm a young guy, and I've been roaming around in my Toyota
pickup-with-shell for a long while now. I can sleep in the back, store
my climbing gear, and drive pretty much anywhere I need to (mostly

At about 3:00 today we were down to stuff scattered over 3 tables. I taped a
sign on the Estate Sale sign out front that said Free, Haul It Away. It was
all gone within 45 minutes.

landed us in St. James, Minnysoda.  A nice city park with a lake to look

for the city; they even advertise monthly rates.  $330.
Highest gas prices we saw were $1.93.  Here regular and super are $1.84

As full timers, do we see things different than locals or are we all wet?
In the tow truck we have driven through many parts of the battleground state
of Oregon. There are political signs all over - most we do not know or care

sheet metal (maybe .040 thick), supporting a large cantilevered load.
They started cracking badly.  Anyone else have such wimpy mounts?

It's been quite some time since last I visited this NG.  I had hoped
that by this time, if only by way of attrition, things would be better
and it would really be about RV travel.  Unfortunately the true
travelers are stuck behind a long line of slow moving overloaded

Am new to trailer towing, have a question about tongue weight
vs trailer sway. Have a bit of sway right now, will probably
have to get a equalizer setup. Any suggestions as to which of
the many are best. Most bang for the buck ?

Just finished talk to Dot (Flocala) and they are without power.  Using
their MH generator to run the necessities 02 and making coffee.  Her
husband Bob is doing OK and they did not lose power until sometime early
this morning, she said they had power until sometime after they ...

Bill, Hillary and Kerry are flying on Kerry's wife's private jet.
Bill looks at Hillary, chuckles and says, "You know, I could throw a
$100.00 bill out the window right now and make somebody very happy."
Hillary shrugs her shoulders and says, "Well, I could throw ten $10.00
