SaNChEzZ posted:I actually rode up there with botchedlobotomy one day and asked about it, they said that's per vehicle but for motorcycles, it's basically as many as you can fit in a campsite for $45, split it 3 ways, boom. $15 a pop. I know it is late, but I can highly recommend nacimento rd for free dispersed camping in between San Fran and LA. In fact, I am leaving in the morning from Oregon to ride the entire coastline down that way myself, so expect pictures, and maybe video, if the GoPro decides to work.

I postponed my Montana trip because my friend flaked and "forgot". It finally got to the point where I said "gently caress it" and am now just taking a two day solo trip out to Grand Coulee dam. I'll be camping at Steamboat Rock State Park for a night then heading home the next day. It's five and a half hours to get there on the route I'm taking there (doing Chinook Pass since I've done the others) and only three and a half back. I'll have time to set up camp, have some time to relax, check out the dam, get some sleep, have a late rise and head home. Here's my route out: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/352...2d47.871385!3e0 Only 273 miles. I expect to do it in about six without a lunch stop. Headed out Sunday morning and should return early evening on Monday.

I'd say, while not specific to camping, some kind of tire patch/inflation kit, plus something like a battery jump-starter in case something goes wrong with your bike. Camping-specific, I like having a multi-tool (or just a good Swiss army-style knife) in case you need to cut or clip anything. Some TP. A trowel (if you're camping rough, obviously less useful if you'll have a proper toilet). Some Crazy Dr. Bronner's soap (great for dishes, your person, etc.) in a travel-size bottle. When we go out somewhere remote, we have a water filter and dehydrated food.

Get a valve stem tool. I went out to my bike this morning to a flat front. My valve stem was loose. Luckily Ace Hardware was open and they had a stem tool for $3. A compact air compressor really helps too. I'd be stuck without either of those right now. Instead, I'm waiting for my flautas in Ephrata.

A tire plug kit, safety wire, and some extra oil are good things to have.

justincredible posted:Im planning on setting up a Motorcycle camping trip and im just wondering what aresome of the MUST haves that you would say are needed from past experiences? I mean i know a sleeping bag, tent, etc. but what else? 1) A backup plan, if your route is too muddy/washed out, or traffic sucks and you want to say "gently caress it", or if you didn't get a lot of sleep or whatever 2) Spare water purifier tablets (like Aqua Mira), since a lot of camping is dry 3) Something to drink water on the road and stay hydrated. STAY HYDRATED. It's harder than you think. 4) Warm enough clothes for the morning that you can still ride (layered under or over your clothes). You'll shed these as the day warms up. 5) Portable tire pump, possibly a set of mini jumper cables (never had to use them, but hey, I've got it if I need it!) 6) A spare set of keys 7) Rain gear 8) Cash in various increments--you can't always dispersed camp, and a lot of campgrounds are cash-only 9) A decent bottle of whisky, so if you forget something, you can always head over to someone else's camp and offer them a few fingers of whiskey for, say, a plastic fork. Sure, most people will give it to you if you ask, but it's a good icebreaker. 10) Extra earplugs 11) Wipe cloth for your visor 12) A small camp towel and Doc Bronner's, so you can actually take advantage of a shower when you find one. A few things I've noticed: I tend not to stop and take a picture when on the road, which is something I want to get out of the habit of doing. I want to pull over for a minute to stretch and take a few photos a lot more often, without falling into the "just a few more miles" trap. If you see something interesting like a historical marker or point of interest, pull over and check it out really quick. Put your stuff away in the same place, every time. Like, always put your keys in the exact same pocket, and put the same stuff in your left saddlebag every day so you know exactly where it is. Stop more frequently. Drink more water. Snack more. Don't try to pack as many miles in a day as you'd like, because the time it takes on Google maps doesn't account for stopping, stretching, poor road conditions, taking pictures, etc. Take out the earplugs more often at stops. One just to give them a break, but also because people don't have random conversations with you when stopped if you've got earplugs in. If you leave it outside of your tent, check your helmet before you put it on. Feeling something crawling around in there is NOT a pleasant experience in the morning. If you put a Camelbak at the bottom of your tankbag like I do, put all the other stuff in your tankbag in a big shopping bag, so it's easy to remove and refill the Camelbak.

I went camping in central Wyoming this weekend. There isn't much there, but there aren't any people and that's what I was looking for. Got to see the Milky Way at night, and hundreds of antelope in small herds along the way, since there weren't enough people out there to scare them off, except a few ranchers since it was open range land. Plenty of water crossings, which are tons of fun to splash through like a four year old. It just felt great to get away and not have to deal with traffic or people for a weekend, which more than makes up for the lack of rayelin twisties. This was through Medicine Bow National Forest, then on to Seminoe Dam, and the Bighorn Scenic Byway. http://goo.gl/maps/THZ6J     This is actually part of a scenic byway. A for-real designated scenic byway.

Here are some pictures from my Grand Coulee Dam Trip: Mt. Rainier  Columbia River  Campsite  Grand Coulee Dam  View from the Campsite All in all, the Chinook pass was good, but I still prefer highway 20. The road is more fun, the views are better, and there are more opportunities for passing. The dam was pretty cool, but the best part was that I was there around 5:30 on a Sunday; there was no one in the parking lot. No screaming children. No throngs of people gathering for photos. Just me and some random couple playing fetch with their dog. Oh, yes, I did have a loose valve core on the front tire. That sure was fun. I'm just glad I didn't have a puncture.

Nice Caribous. Are those the 1550 models? Wyoming is fantastic in its emptiness, I haven't been there in a couple years; should get back soon.

You can see the difference in water level between the two, with the current draw-down because of the broken Wanapum dam.

Stay out as in "we're all inbred shitkickers here, beware" or as in "goons, stay the gently caress away from me and mine"?

It's hard for me to believe that people ever seriously said "it's so simple, even a woman can put it together!" without a hint of irony. Guess it shows how far we've come.

If that ad came out today, it'd have two hot chicks making out in the tent once they put it together. Also, the guy would probably say, "Bitches, amirite?" when they had problems putting it together.
