    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: OR, Canyonville - 8/10/2012 to 8/12/2012

    We had a great time!! Little Paigey is sold on rally life....good food and lots of people to talk to. Many thanks to the guys at Henderson's for the suspension inspection. Robert uncovered an issue that looked fairly minor but when I got it into Safari in Redding, it turned out to be kind of...

    What did you buy the first night?

    Take stuff for cooking. You will want to try out your new stove and microwave. Bedding and towels. If they haven't changed the mattress, you will need a memory foam topper but you might want to spend a couple of nights sleeping on it. If you end up crippled, get the topper!! If your dealer...

    Waiting game... Next on the list is a hitch. Some suggestions please?

    I'm going to chime in here even if I am not an expert!! I have a B&W companion hitch and love it. It is easy to hook up to the trailer and even easier to take the hitch out. Leaves a flat bed without rails. The components are pretty light and goes in and out in under 5 minutes. I have not...

    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: CA, Oroville - 3/30/2012 to 4/1/2011

    I wasn't too worried about it. It isn't like Seven Feathers - You might need a golf cart to see your friends on the other side of the park!!

    Dang!! I have to be in Sparks and all set up by 1pm. Sarah has to see the doc and I am either watching Paige or going with Sarah. It would have been fun to follow you guys down the road.

    EVENT: Heartland Regional Rally: NV, Sparks Nevada - 7/1/2011 to 7/4/2011

    Just an FYI - If you are planning on taking I80 East, it is a mess as usual in the summer!! It is usually less congested early in the morning and make sure that your cooling system is working optimally!! Just plan on some slow going and narrow lanes and you will be fine. See you all in Sparks!

    Buying long gun out of state.

    I had a problem in Wyoming as a California resident. The gun shop owner said he could sell to me, but he would have to follow all of the California laws....so you can figure out the rest.....no sale. My friend bought a long gun and it took all of a 10 minute phone call, she paid the bill and...

    I vote for the Kindle!! I bought the first one out and upgraded to the second version. Since then, I have given three for gifts and expect to give another one this Christmas. Have you checked CNET for ratings? Just a thought. I also read somewhere that Barnes and Nobles is on the market for...

    2011 Oregon Rally Date Poll

    Will you at least be able to go, Kristy? That sucks! I am going to find a back up baby wrangler so that I can go to this one. I don't want to miss out on all the fun.

    California Air Resources Board - Smog testing Diesel pick ups

    I just discovered that California is now requiring smog tests on our one ton trucks. Anyone out there have any info about this? Or any experience having your truck smog tested? Thanks in advance for your advice!
