We made it to Wahweap today. We are set up in the RV park and will launch tomorrow morning. Haven't heard anything from Daydream-wondering if Pat made it to Camp Discovery tonight? Everything is a long walk here. Good provisions at the Safeway. There was a wildfire in the Escalante...

Pat, Sorry to hear of your maintenance problems. Still hope to see you Monday evening at Wahweap. We are at Torrey, Ut., just outside Capitol Reef NP. We plan on spending today in the park and early tomorrow morning will head for Page. This country is spectacular-every view looks like a...

We are on the way-got a late start from Spokane this morning. We are settled in for the night in Baker City, Or. We still plan to launch on the 15th at Wahweap.

Pat, I would love to know your recipe also. I have never seen fried clams on the half-shell. It really looks good. I just finished smoking salmon to take to Lake Powell for snacks and happy hours.

Peter, Quick and easy thing, if you haven't already done it, is to check up under the eyebrow and tug on all the crimped connections under there. I had a problem a few years ago with an intermittent anchor light and finally found a crimp connection under the eyebrow where the factory had used a...

Warren, I have always liked canopies. More height for cargo, better security, and as you noted you can camp and sleep in it. I learned that the reduced visibility can be compensated for by use of your mirrors. I have the power adjustable mirrors. I also have those convex mirrors which...

Based on some of the information above, I ordered new zincs for my Honda 40's. When I actually took the old ones off, I was amazed at the difference in weight. They didn't look much different in size except for the pitting, but when I weighed them on my kitchen scale, the old one weighed 110...

Jim, has Molly ever even seen a mouse? I could borrow one of my son's cats but I know they have never seen a mouse.

Chromer, Sounds like you had a great trip. I thought the big kings were not as many as years past. We always saw a few big ones come in-but some years you see everyone with big ones. It is still the best day in and day out salmon fishing in the world in my opinion. It is a little more...

Bob, Although I have a 1 ton dually, I carry a 9'10"" Lance camper and tow my 22 with an extension bar. I installed a Reese Titan Class V hitch with the 2.5" square receiver. This set-up tows very well even with the 24in extension stinger. Many campers sit high enough in the truck to allow...

Les, I troll with my boat a lot and I find that the speed with one engine is about right at 1400-1700 rpm depending on the wind and tide. The engine is very sensitive in that range and it can be very hard to make small speed changes. I am guessing it might be where the carbs are changing from...

Joel, Put me down for 2. Any chance they will be available by Lake Powell? I could collect mine there and avoid any boxing and shipping? Thanks for coordinating this.

I read in one of the Lake Powell links that you need to put barriers on your ropes going to shore to stop mice and rats? Is this normally a problem?

George, We plan on doing the same thing. We will take the camper because we plan on going at least a week early and doing some of the Utah parks we have missed on other trips. Does anyone who has cruised Lake Powell in the fall have any input on bugs? Are any insects a problem?

Andrew, I always ferry over to the island and tow to Ucluelet to launch. I prefer the comfort of my camper while on a fishing trip. If you are going to ferry the boat over, the most pleasant cruise would be to launch at Port Alberni and cruise down the inlet in protected water to Bamfield or...

Chromer, I just returned from 4 weeks of fishing at Ucluelet and I thought the salmon fishing was a much slower that years past. Of course things can change very quickly as fresh fish move in and others move on to the south. The only comment I can make for sure is we saw a lot of the big...

azygoes, Quite a coincidence-we are about 90% sure we will make the same trip next summer. We also will tow CAVU behind a truck camper and plan on spending 3 months in Alaska. I did the same trip with an RV 15 years ago, but I am really excited about having a boat this time. Lets keep in...

Roger, I am here at Ucluelet and they now have WiFi. I have been following your trip. Sorry about the no-shows. If I didn't have reservations I would have been right there. The coho have been thick here for weeks. We picked up two hatchery coho today that were about 10 lbs. The kings have...
