De-Winterizing the Motorhome — Boise to Hells Canyon

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

We are currently visiting family in Boise in order to make sure my mother-in-law’s motorhome is working correctly. We plan to head out on Friday for a trip towards the southern end of the Hell’s Canyon and spend the night in Oregon’s Wallowa Mountains. We had planned to drive a backroad from Halfway Oregon through the middle of the Wallowa Mountains to Enterprise, but the road is currently being rebuilt. So, we’ll look for a remote campground in the mountains north of Richland, Oregon.

I expect there will be no service out there, so I’m scheduling this prior to our visit there.

Canadian Adventure — Wrangler or Classic Jeep Needed

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Stevie Welsh of Strike One Media wrote me looking for involvement in a Canadian road trip. A couple european fishing stars, Matt Hayes and Babs Kijewski, will be filming some fishing adventures in Canada. Along the way, the show will showcase not only the fishing but the history, parks, waterways , geography, wildlife, people, culture and experiences available to travelers.

What they are looking for is the use of an “iconic Jeep vehicle such as a Wrangler” for the trip from Thunder Bay to Toronto in August. If anyone wants to learn more, you can contact Stevie Welsh:

1950 Flattie Klamath Area, OR $40,000

• CATEGORIES: News • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller seems to be listed in the Klamath, Oregon, area, but is listing the jeep in California (probably due to the price). Looks like a nice rig. The jeep looks familiar, but I couldn’t find it in my archives.

“Registered as a 1950 Ford but is actually an early 1940’s. It has been painstakingly rebuilt from the body up by owner. Updated axles, transmission and engine. Too many upgrades to list but will answer any questions when you call.

Asking $40,000 since owner currently has $50,000 invested. Less than 1,000 miles since completion of rebuild.

Please contact me if you have any questions or would like any further information.”
