Camping Oddities! Cargo Trailer And A Safe Camp

I hate heading for home because it means the trip I so looked forward to is almost over. But there is still fun along the way and even a little excitement. Good food, good friends, a mountain lion lurking in the woods, high winds and beautiful sunsets all add up to a great trip! We start near Capitol Reef National Park before camping just south of Torrey, UT in the Dixie National Forest, then on to a campsite near Escalante, UT where the mountain lions and bears are numerous. We meet up with some good friends before camping for the night just west of Bryce Canyon National Park before making out way into the great state of Nevada for a camp on BLM land. In Idaho we camped at Craters of the Moon National Monument after avoiding some severe thunderstorms. As usual, we search for Native American trails and campsites, arrowheads and other early American artifacts. Bacon is frying and intermittent fasting is discussed.

Hey there friends....I know this area very well!! Really enjoyed seeing this again, brought back some wonderful memories! I rode my mountain bike on the that Devils Backbone road...riding up that 14% grade! Yep...when younger I did a mountain bicycle tour starting from Hurricane Utah all the way out to Capital Reef National Park going thru Zyon and Bryce National parks, I rode over a 12.400 ft pass and was camping off of my bicycle along the way. The purpose and highlight I rode the dirt road all along Capital Reef to go up the Burr Trail switchbacks to Boulder Utah on the way back from Capital Reef. Over 600 miles on the bike with gear and lots more on foot hiking at the 3 national parks in 2 weeks time. Not satisfied...I loved the tour so much I did all over again 2 years later. I was in good shape back then! Happy Camping!

[@RVingwithG]

WOW, that was a "L" of a ride. Boy, you had to be in good shape and a real man to pull that off. GOOD JOB and Fun times! !! My biggest "Healthy" big deal was climbing Mt' Borah in Idaho, 12, 700 +/- it too has a (Devil's back-bone) "Chicken neck" where you have to crawl around on all fours and the same for the last 1,000 feet to the top at where the point is 10 x 10 area.

[@gonagain]

Wow BirdPhish! Nice trip! I tried long distance biking when I was in my early 20s and blew out my knee (tore the miniscus) so that was the end of that. You did well!

[@BirdPhish]

@@RVingwithG Lol...fun times indeed! I had called ahead to the police station in Hurricane to get their permission to leave my car in their lot and start the tour there. When I got there and went inside to let them know I was there and leaving my car they had to come out and get a look. I still remember the looks on their faces and them commenting "Do you have any idea what that road is like out to Capital Reef? ....they thought I was completely, utterly nuts lol

[@BirdPhish]

@@gonagain Thanks....the only part I didn't ride was the tunnel in Zion...I begged them to let me ride thru it but they wouldn't let me, had to hitch a ride thru the tunnel. I did over 50 mph after the 12,400 ft. pass coming down the mountain heading into Torrey and Capital Reef... but the scariest part was not on my bike....it was on the hike I did to Angel's Landing in Zion :)

Skull does look similar to mountain lion, but too many molars for a mountain lion. Bear has been closest so far. Could be calf or horse as well. Not much left of it so hard to tell. Teeth that are left look herbivore or omnivore(plant grinding).

Yeah, I'm thinking omnivore too. Maybe a bear cub.

[@bissoondathramlal2311]

I just looked at an episode of MOUNTAIN MEN where the guy shot and harvested a bear, he boiled the skull and cleaned it. This skull look exactly the same with regards to the features except a bit smaller. I am leaning towards a female or young bear.

I swear you could spend the rest of a long life exploring the west and with an occasional wifi connection, you can look up the stuff you've found and where you might want to go next. We loved exploring and if my husband gets to where he can get around again, I want to get a small trailer to pull. We're like you - it's just a place to sleep and keep your stuff. Outside is why we like to be out and about. Here in Joshua Tree NP there are a lot of old mines and boy, those miners left stuff - cars, cans, bits and pieces but it's fun to explore. We take nothing but photos and memories.

I once spend an entire day setting out a wind storm/ sand storm in my 13’ camp trailer with those old louvered glass windows. We were camping by the ‘Salton Sea’ in so. Calif. The wall of sand hit about 10 am. and didn’t stop until about 8 that evening. At times during the day we couldn’t make out the bath house less than 100’ away, we use wet bandannas to breathe through. Fun times for sure. Another great video, looking forward to the ‘ghost towns’. Safe travels.

SOOO MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACES, especially out west. Many times the best way to see them is camping. Hotels are just too far away, but to an even greater extent you are so very out of touch with all that beauty. My CTC just works so well as a camper. What I like most is being warm and dry, having a few small creature comforts in my old age. As I was watching the beginning of this video I thought of all the times I was very comfortable - warm and dry - in my CTC or the truck camper before. How smug I felt as I listened to the weather rage outside. I thought of tent camping when I was younger and the same feelings in a good sleeping bag in a good tent. Something about that feeling of security and peace that is soul satisfying.

Great vid Rick, you are so right about getting out and poking around for interesting finds and artifacts. Looking forward to the ghost town videos, that's what we do a lot of is exploring the old mining area's and history around Montana, mostly on atv's and side by sides, there is a lot of it to see. This year has been tough getting out as much as I would like, due to my work load and some minor health issues. I'm very familiar with many of the ghost towns and mine camps if you ever need ideas on places to go explore. I spend a lot of time on my computer along with map programs researching places of interest around Montana. I've got a pretty good metal detector but have not mastered how to fully use it lol.

Washed out on both sides of the dirt road making it about a foot or two wider than the width of my 4WD Toyota truck. I saw no other vehicles on that road except the abandoned shells of a few that didn't make it and saw only one other person who sailed up to a beach I was sunning on and paid a visit only long enough to tell me a joke then left (truly surreal).

Great video as usual and great content . Where I grew up in Colorado, the old Ute trail went through our place , so needless to say we found thousands of arrow heads , scrapers , knives , awls , etc. But one time hunting arrow heads in the basin I came across a small section of rock jetting up out of the ground maybe 10' . There was a short rock maybe 2 1/2 ' high about a foot away and a pile of chips by it. I sorted through the pile & came up with about 7 arrow heads of varying quality . One was kind of interesting because it looked like this native had started to nap out 4 arrow heads at once , as the heads were started on all fours but tips were broken off.! I remember visualizing him either sitting on that short rock in the shade of the larger rock napping out arrow heads or sitting on the ground napping them on the rock . There had been some good rains the last few years so there had been some small washes come right through this spot so I hunted down to the end of the wash & found 5 more , a great day to say the least , so I know well how you feel !!! :-) happy hunting you two .

I was to the "VAN BUILD" last winter in AZ and I cam back 14 lbs lighter as well. If you are out MOVING and doing things you (I) don't end up eating as much. The chips and cookies don't seam to be out there on the trail... LOL (You so had me laughing out loud)

[@gonagain]

I hope you got some good work done at the build. I see that James is trying to put another one together this year back east somewhere. He is one great guy! Very generous and caring.

[@derekdowns6275]

I had no idea you spent time in the Pacific Northwet! You're right on about walking behind a bulldozer. You mentioned the cold on a tarmac in another video, and after working at Paine Field for over a decade, you've got that spot on as well.

[@gonagain]

Hi Derek, we've had similar experiences. Thanks for watching!

[@borandell9915]

So true. Campsites are like diamonds and snowflakes. Every one is different.

[@tedbuddytravels]

I will be thinking of you two as we go out on Lake Union for Tuesday night duck dodge. (sailboat races)

[@gonagain]

There ya go!

[@shirleyhall2716]

We have been over devils backbone but I didn't know it was called that, I was just freaking out. 🤣

[@gonagain]

I'm not 100% sure of the name, but it's memorable.

[@ellenschalles958]

Hi, Sure do enjoy your videos. I was born in Tonopah, Nevada. We lived in Golfield. My dad worked on the narrow garage railroad, Tonopah - Goldfield. Nicknamed the old tug and grunt. There was a little ditty they used to say because of the numerous times it would go off track. " Off again, on again, gone again, Flanagan. " Was wondering if that's where you got your handle of Gonagain ? Best to Linda. Ellen. . . 💖 :-)

[@gonagain]

Hi Ellen, thanks for the background story on that area. Our handle of Gonagain came from our daughters. One would ask the other, "where's Mom?" and would get the answer, "oh, they're gone again." That became Gonagain!

[@TomOHara72]

Just Wanna say Thanks AGAIN> For some reason, this is the Best, varied; interesting vid about your surroundings; At 66, I So enjoy all the same history; etc. always was a kid exploring; Are you sure yer not taking vid lessons..like the one post said; 'excellent voice tone for 'story teller...' hehe maybe the grandkids would agree??

[@gonagain]

No lessons, but I really like people and that helps.

[@jrcook927]

I'm all for IF... 18:6 or 20:4 schedule. Need to get back on it.

[@debwatson56]

The skull you found resembles a non carnivore. More like a calf.😢 I've been following you. I live in Butte Montana. But I have traveled every state in lower 48. If you travel down the two lane road from detla Utah to Milford. The hills are full of obsidian mine , and we found an old abandoned pumice mine. Lots of arrow heads. Great sites Milford is an old railroad town. Happy travels.

[@gonagain]

Thanks for the tip, Deb. We'll try to include that in our wanderings.

[@philmickey7247]

👍Thanks!

[@gonagain]

I like that, your dad was right.

[@alvisjenkins1305]

When it's gusting wind, it will be to my benefit as I plan on having a portable VAWT attached to my camper that will be charging my batteries.

[@gonagain]

The vertical type might be considerably quieter than a flat blade generator.

[@kwajmi79]

We lived in the Pacific North-“wet” on both sides of the cascades (my dad was Seattle born and raised).. My husband was born in Yakima and raised in Spokane. At one point we owned 5 acres of Ponderosa pine with a house on the property in Mead, Washington. I miss those 5 acres something fierce. Would go back in a heartbeat if possible.

[@gonagain]

Mead is in such a beautiful area! I like Ponderosa pine forests because you can walk through them without all the scrub brush blocking your way.

[@kwajmi79]

@@gonagain yes! I miss my house and acreage in Mead something fierce! Mead was a beautiful area. I don’t know how it is now as the last time we visited over 20 years ago subdivisions were starting to pop up all over. Now we’re out in the country in AL and loved it... until now. Why? Subdivisions popping up all over the area! Ugh! Lol Looking forward to watching more ‘Gonagain’ exploration videos! Thanks so much for sharing your travels with us. Always entertaining.

[@SamuraiMama]

Hey, good one! I never understood why people like golf but maybe it is what you say, an excuse to get out. That devil's backbone drive looked pretty scary especially when towing.

[@gonagain]

It's an interesting piece of hiway for sure.

[@Cockeyed_Den8213]

Hello again Gonagain Nice to see you two again. About the time Linda said she would be blown away I was getting ready to say you would have to tie an anchor to Linda. I couldn't do the drive or ride on that road I was in an APC in the army that went off the side of a hill It killed 3 of the guys that where in there with me only 2 of use made it. Just seeing that road really had me reliving that day again so much so I had to stop the video and come back you it this morning that's why I didn't comment on it last night I just skipped over that part this morning. I'll pass on that one for sure. Now the guy on the mule would be cool to see and sit and chat with. I'll check out your friends video. Never book it back time is short always take your time. Nice places you all go to I'll never see them I don't think but I'm seeing them here on your video's. We hope your tomorrow is better than your today was.

[@gonagain]

You were blessed, Den, to live through an accident like that. Sorry that happened. I was hoping the rancher on the mule would stop for a minute but he was on his way somewhere important I think.

[@daviddurflinger3104]

You know Rick, I think that we are cut from the same cloth we used to have a 30 ft Coronado sloop, anchored out in San Diego bay and used to sail to Mexico on weekends, and yes I hunt archery, my guess, were you in the Navy? I was Army, my son is active as a Staff Sargent, and my son in law is a first lieutenant, we are a Army Proud family, anyway your videos really hit home thanks for your efforts.

[@gonagain]

Thank you both for your service, and I mean that sincerely. No, I was never in the military but always look up to those that serve. As for sailing there's something about harnessing mother nature in such an elegant way that I like. Thanks David!

[@M0M0F2P0Ms]

i love that Linda is packing!

[@gonagain]

She always is and can hit what she's aiming at. She has trophies on the wall to prove it. Tough for a little bugger.

[@richardmarsh9648]

Patterson Pass, camped there three nights. Dual sported out of the same site, very clean. Nevada and Utah are the best western states as far as providing restrooms and refuse services. I have lived in the wet coast my entire life and have found no where more hospitable than Boarder Nevada.

[@gonagain]

Thanks for watching Richard!

[@butchkelin3762]

You are doing it right. The trip takes you, you don't take the trip.
