I'll be heading out to a secret, undisclosed location in the morning. Likely, no-one will hear from me for a couple weeks. Life will be rough, but we will endeavor to persevere!

I love camping. I have a small trailer. Just sealed the roof this year with Gaco Silicone roofing. One more coat tomorrow and I’m done.

We are talking about tents and sleeping on the ground, not a camper with soft beds.
Teenagers that grew up with technology. I know 1 of my 3 boys would likely enjoy it it enough to do more of it, but we will see about the other 2.

LOL, we have been "camping" for four years, come November. Mostly Harvest Host and Boondockers Welcome. But right now we are Workamping in Michigan, at least until October at Holiday RV & Campground.

Back to the grind! Got home last night. Could not have hit a better stretch of weather! And the fishing was the best in years. The smallmouth and largemouth were both hitting in the evenings, and then I found this guy in the weeds on a sunny afternoon about 1:30. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the road noise today after none for 2 weeks, but if I can survive, we are heading out again in a couple weeks for another run of at least a week or more, depending on the weather.

sweet, we're bailing out early today, going fishing at a pond that no one fishes. I hope to get a few pictures of the same thing you caught..........what were you using for bait??
What did you get that northern on?

It's an Arbogast Hula Popper.
I think the lure is older than me! I've had it since I was a kid.
I don't think the lure even finished splashing before he took it!
I didn't have a steel leader on, just 8lb. mono, as soon as my buddy had the net under him, he shook and cut the line with his razors!

Good thing you get to keep that lure.
Nice, considering that that’s more of a top water lure . I’m partial to 4” shiners with an English hook setup myself. I love northern pike fishing.

Here we go again! Heading out in the morning to yet another undisclosed location somewhere only the boat can take us. Might be back in a week...might not! We shall see what mother nature has in store! See y'all on the other side!

Many moons ago...it all started somewhere deep in the Catskills...
We are still kickin' it together. I guess I'm lucky, I camp yearly with 6 or 7 guys (32 years running) and not one of them has a wife who will do what we do. Mrs. Rider and I have been at it regularly since '78.

Prepping for a boondocking adventure that will see us in Joshua Tree NP and Death Valley NP before turning around and heading home via Padre Island. Here are a few scenes from last winters quest...

welcome to the club, If you're ever in Traverse City MI, go to Holiday RV Park and campground. Tell them you know me. ( we work there)
They will either find you a spot, or shoot you, LOL

Looks nice. Be prepared for those areas. I was out that way for a work trip and it’s extremely liberal. Gays everywhere and this was quite a few years ago.
Is that a Colorado? How does it tow? These full sized trucks are getting costly these days.
Shadow rider

Tow package is good to 7000 lbs. The ROG is a bit over 1700 empty. fully outfitted, its around 2500. I don't even notice it until I get into really steep terrain. We've put a little over 30,000 miles on the trailer in the 3 years we've owned it, the Colorado pulling everyone of them. We have spent time in the southwest before and know what t expect, but to be honest...we avoid people as a general rule when we travel!

Thanks and good to know. My next camper will be around 5,000 lbs so I’m not sure I’d go that route. I just don’t like the price of the new full sized trucks. Man it’s brutal. I just looked at a tundra after I asked this question and it $6,300 down(10%) and my truck as trade for $20,000 the payments for 5 years was $745/month. Not sure I’ll go that route or not. I can but I don’t want to.

The prices of things these days makes me sick. I was thinking about it and if I did the truck thing and bought a new camper because I’ll need both at about the same time I’d be around $1,100 a month in payments. My mortgage is only $200-$300 more than that. I told my wife we’re pricing a new truck before we buy a camper because I’m not sure I’m willing to do that. Now I did find a truck around $50,000 but I really don’t like it or the way it looks. So it’s hard to buy something for $50,000 you don’t really like, but the reality is I may have to go that route. I have a few years before I’ll need a new truck so we will see what changes happen, but I doubt they will drop and likely to only increase especially with NYS mandating more and more EVs be sold as we approach the 100% EV transition on 2035.
