RE: Off the beaten path to do/see in ME - Acadia
Visit the Schoodic Peninsula.
In main part of park, hike one way along the coastal road and take the shuttle back. Hike up Beech Mountain. Ride your bikes on the carriage roads.
Take as many boat trips as you can. Ones I've especially enjoyed: nature tours from Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor and taking the boat to Duck Harbor on Isle au Haut and then hiking back to the main island harbor to catch the late day boat back to the mainland. BTW: I'm the kind of person who gets seasick, but these are sheltered waters and I had no trouble.
Further afield: Cutler Coast has some pretty wild hiking. There are hiking trails on Monhegan Island.
On the Acadia National Park website, there are many downloadable brochures which will help you to plan. There's even a 206-page "Guide's Guide to Acadia."
Enjoy!

RE: Help! Soy allergies, how do you cook?
Medlineplus.gov, my favorite good health info site, provides these two links. Both have lists of soy foods and the names soy goes by.
Mayo Clinic link
Food Allergy Research & Education link
It sounds like you will be doing a lot of label reading but possibly not 100% of your own cooking.
If you want to cook, go to Amazon.com and type "soy-free" into search box under the Books category and you will get a long list of books of recipes and info.

RE: mattole campground northern ca
I was there in 2007. Great beachcombing, great solitude, extreme wind. Would I go again? Yes! Would I take a large vehicle there? No!

RE: Very Interesting Class B+/C - Owned by Barbara Steisand???
Hmm. I once looked at a Roadtrek (at a Roadtrek company lot) which said it had been occupied by Streisand. Turns out it was used as a dressing room on a remote shoot.
And no, the Streisand connection is not what drew me to that lot! I was just looking for a used Roadtrek.

RE: Been looking for a b encountering "private" dealers -
You're in Orange, so try http://www.mcmahonrv.com/. They are not real far from you. Back when I was shopping and considering a B, they had the largest selection of B's in So Cal. That was 6 years ago, but a quick glance at their website shows that they still have B's, both new and pre-owned.
There is a Roadtrek dealer in Lakeside, east of San Diego.

RE: I live in So Cal & looking for free camping spots?
Anza Borrego
Not dog friendly. In fact, CA state parks are in general not dog friendly, since they do not allow dogs on trails.
You might explore the Eastern Sierra. Inyo NF and Bishop BLM are good places to look.

RE: Extreme TC - with everything!
This monstrosity gives rise to a difficult Second Amendment issue: -- we need rivet gun control, and hot glue gun control.
Good point.
Question for boondockers: If you go to your favorite outback spot and this thing is camped nearby, do you decide to camp elsewhere?

RE: Extreme TC - with everything!
Actually 200 people built this thing. And each person brought their own part to put on it!!! :B
Best comment so far! And the others were pretty darn good. Perhaps its only purpose is to get attention?

Extreme TC - with everything!
As soon as I saw this "Land Tug" last weekend in Morro Bay, CA, I knew that all of you extreme TC folks needed to see it.
Talking with friends of the owner (owner was not around) yielded a bit of info: He built it himself. Some parts came from a stepvan. The back folds down so a tiny car can drive in (I was unable to verify this).

You can see my Tiger 4XR RV (not a TC) in the background across the street:

Some googling around gained me a photo of the 1996 prototype:

RE: Possibly (probably) crazy
We did a trip of similar craziness in a tiny TT from the southwestern corner of California, across the south, up the east coast into Canada, and back home diagonally across the US in the early 1970's. With two small children. Ten weeks. It took two years to plan (without internet). Was it worth it? YES! The memories of a lifetime were made. Of course, gas was about 25 cents a gallon then and our old 6-cylinder Ford was a frugal user thereof.
Put a US map on your wall so you can visualize this project. Stick pins in it for the places you want to visit. If you have to do the entire loop and be back home by a certain date, the itinerary will have to be followed carefully or you won't make it. Be sure to be flexible enough that you can accommodate illness, bad weather, and mechanical troubles. If you have endless time, it will be different.
Think of plan B for each of the big national parks because staying in them might not be possible. At least with a TT you can camp outside the park and do the day use thing.
Have a great trip!

RE: Colorado National Monument
You do know about the tunnels, right?
from the park website:
There are three tunnels on Rim Rock Drive: two tunnels on the west side and one on the east side of the park. Please keep your vehicle lights and/or bicycle lights on while traveling through the tunnels.
#1 West Lower Tunnel
This tunnel is 236 feet long. Clearance above lanes of traffic ranges from a low point of 11'5" at a point two feet inside the curbs to a maximum of 16'1" above the centerline of the road.
#2 West Upper Tunnel
This tunnel is 182 feet long. Clearance above lanes of traffic ranges from a low point of 11'5" at a point two feet inside the curbs to a maximum of 16'1" above the centerline of the road.
#3 East Tunnel
This tunnel is 530 feet long. Clearance above lanes of traffic ranges from a low point of 11'5" at a point two feet inside the curbs to a maximum of 16'1" above the centerline of the road.

RE: Couple sues USFS after son hurt by falling tree.
A dead tree was just standing/lying there minding its own business and along came this kid and ....
Now if the tree got up and chased the kid down the trail they might have a case. Or not. We out here in the wild west are fond of saying that the forest isn't Disneyland.

I dimly remember seeing them, but we didn't eat them at our house. Dad always had Grape Nuts Flakes and we kids had raisin bran or PB on toast.

RE: Manual Transmission? Yea or Nay?
One factor that I haven't seen mentioned: A person gets a wonderful sense of competence from driving a stick and driving it well. I sure do miss that since age and circumstances forced me into an automatic.

RE: Planning trip out west
Near Las Cruces, visit White Sands National Monument for its wow-power. No camping there. However, BLM Three Rivers Petroglyph Site is nearby with a couple of camping spaces and some amazing rock art.
Near Farmington, Aztec Ruins National Monument is great, but no camping.
In northern AZ, off Hwy 160 on your way to Grand Canyon, Navajo National Monument has some great scenery and 48 free campsites.
