first trip for Daisy Mae is a music festival... boondocking her first time out! I'm hoping it's not too wet in the field they have us all in.. and believe it's far from a river! Phew! But good point about those hungry mosquitoes... packing extra repellent for sure. ]]> Mon, 20 May 2019 10:49:30 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=124036#124036 Happy New Owner : Grew up in NorCal, and had a lot... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123985#123985 Author: offgrid

Grew up in NorCal, and had a lot of fun with gophers in the day. Saw one disappear a full grown artichoke plant down a hole. But still, I think in a fight between a hardened military runway and some small burrowing mammals, the mammals are gonna lose every time.. Besides, where’s their motivation, there’s no yummy plants to eat under there. ]]> Sat, 18 May 2019 17:15:43 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123985#123985 Happy New Owner : Originally posted by offgridA... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123984#123984 Author: GlueGuy

You have obviously not dealt with the gophers or prairie dogs we have out here.  LOL]]> Sat, 18 May 2019 16:32:14 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123984#123984 Happy New Owner : We're heading to Great Basin... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123983#123983 Author: lostagain

How do the keep the prairie dogs from digging up the runways?

That's true lostagain.  
The aircraft at Offutt Air Force Base shoot flares to knock the skeeters out of the air and buzz the runaway to scare off the buffalo before they land.

We're dealing with flooding.  Many State Recreation Areas are near rivers and have been flooded and are closed.  Hopefully they will open soon but we're told to expect a bumper crop of mosquitoes. ]]> Fri, 17 May 2019 17:49:06 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123963#123963 Happy New Owner : holy crap! and I thought we were... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123958#123958 Author: tongatam

An example of the snow on the way:  Kirkwood CA is expecting snow for the next week, with between 25" and 44" accumulating.  This is in addition to the 2' mentioned by Glue Guy for the higher elevations.  The rivers will be running cold all summer.]]> Fri, 17 May 2019 11:01:18 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123949#123949 Happy New Owner : Originally posted by lostagainCongratulations... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123946#123946 Author: GlueGuy

Congratulations on your new Pod.  I wish the camping season had begun here, but alas, most of the campgrounds in the Sierra Nevada mountains are still buried in several feet of snow.  
and... the higher peaks just got another 2' of snow in the last couple of days. In Yosemite, they had just opened the Glacier Point Road, only to close it again because of the snow. Some of the high Sierra camps will not open at all this year.]]> Fri, 17 May 2019 10:46:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123946#123946 Happy New Owner : Congratulations and welcome!

Congratulations and welcome! We have enjoyed our 2016 RP179 and I have done a number of modifications. I'm working on one now. The 179 is a great design with the rear kitchen. I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories doing so. ]]> Fri, 17 May 2019 10:07:25 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123941#123941 Happy New Owner : Congratulations on your new Pod.... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12852&PID=123939#123939 Author: lostagain
