Lost Valley Reservoir is a local lake just south of New Meadows, ID on US95. Its a short ride up a dirt road to get to the reservoir. There is USFS camp site that you can cram into and pay $15 a night for. We opted to leave on Friday morning and lucked out and found a free campsite below the dam wall and rather peaceful at night. During the day its rather busy chunk of road with people using this road to travel around the lake. Very enjoyable 2 night stay here. Once the sun goes down the traffic comes to a near stop.

This year with a lawsuit, tryin to stay busy, keep my thoughts on other things, I got so deep into the rut that it was almost difficult to pull out of gear. Anyhow heading off to your place Mike, with IBMobile was the best thing for me Thank you Mike for helping with all your advice. With my current client unhappy I took off.....( out of 7 rooms to be we completed the worse one). Establishing what her expectations were was a good stopping point as that room took 2 weeks with all the neglect. Well back to the grind and thankfully the lawsuit is over, they gave up when they heard how well I put my case together and my attorney so very wise . Man he …

Since im in AZ I found out the locals typically install their water heaters outside and turn off the power. The sun can heat water very well. When I got here I plugged in to city power. Couple days later I started figuring tricks. Like this morning I jump in the shower and it was nice and warm but the water has not burn propane in 2 days. Tossed out my solar panels and charing an awesome 13.8 volts. Its only 7:19am an its...

Weehaw... My first camping trip in 5 years! Very basic spot. Very large area to camp in mostly flat ground and plenty of space for other so camp in a group if possible. River is nice and soothing to listen to at night. Weather was cool at night but wonderful. Dry camping and no hook ups. Fire pans required here. Black Hawk Rapids is a quiet place very little traffic noise even. The Salmon River sound fills the RV at night. Very soothing sound to listen too. Bit of afternoon wind. It not exactly a pay site either but an old gravel pit where road mix was produced back when the highway was being upgraded.

Okay I joined the new world and got a laptop computer. Big deal.... I'm only 30 years late...... I can take it with me camping, but the big question is, how do I plug GPS into it and get where I can see where I am in relation to BLM or National Forest land for dispersed camping? You know..... for it be a map/ screen to show I'm not lost? Is it thru my Verizon? Mopar Mike gonna go, ''Oh geeze'' here goes the donkey'' lol

Dripley, are you stockin up your fifth wheel with chicken feed and dead bugs, so you can eat, for your travels out west? It's time you see the left coast and mountains you know. But please no dead bug sandwich just coffee would be great.

With so many of us here that camp we can tell of our best and worst camp ground stays. Twice a year I try to get to Mono Village just outside of Bridgeport, CA. At 7100' your camping in a forest of large pine trees right next to a deep cold water lake with rainbow and brown trout. You can sit in a boat and fish all day or hike to high alpine mountain meadows. There is a lower lake next to this one and a large reservoir 25 minutes away. The camp ground is rather disorganized and when you check in they tell you to just find a spot and come back and "tell us where you're at". There are less than 50 sites with full hookups and the rest dry camping. I go…
