You are seriously warped. Do you travel with a fold-up cardboard box?


Nope, a van with a foam mattress on stilts in back so we can carry
tools, etc., underneath. I just find the idea of spending significant
money TO SLEEP unpleasant.

I've slept in a pup-tent on the cold hard ground in winter many times.
But now I like to sleep in a four star hotel.


I wouldn't actually mind it, but I don't know anybody crazy enough to
pay the bill.


Damned if I don't agree with a psychopath.
I can set up my van with heat, a cot, plenty of gear storage with the clamshell on the roof. Took it to White Pass for an overnighter, down to Bachelor and camped along the Deschutes, and just got back from a couple days on Orcas Island. Sleep like a baby, and it is handy for catnaps. I just love being a hippy at my age. Runs great in the snow, too.

I've slept in a van many times WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE. I've gone
backpacking many times and slept in a tent. But not any more. If I'm
not sleeping in my mansion or on my yacht I'd rather like a four star
hotel and I can afford it.


Just because I can afford something doesn't mean I'm willing to actually
spend money on it.

You're supposed to pay it yourself. This is America.


See above. Come to think of it, I was ****ed when the secretary booked
me into a fancier motel FURTHER from the office I was visiting; I
worked until 3 am and got up at 6 am AND had a longer trip to and from
the office. Waste is waste no matter who's paying the bills.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Horvath. You must have missed out on your Kerouac
years. You didn't live in a van for most of the 60&70? Not in North
Africa? Not even in Spain? And not even zipping back and forth across
America?

I real pity. So much valuable experience lost.


I am planning to attend the June Lake community meeting on July 10
about the June Mt. closing (remember the original topic of this
thread?) and I will probably sleep at least one night in the back of
my pickup, traveling at night to avoid the daytime desert heat.

Hey, how about you, Wack Job Waldron, Brain Fried Thompson, Mad Dog Baker, and anybody else who has ever lied to SPD about me (or claimed to have lied, or threatened to lie) have a community meeting in Seattle? I'm sure your cop buddies will attend: after all, you claimed to be closely working with them to get me imprisoned for the rest of my life. Before you admitted you got blown off with a FORM EMAIL, of course.
Contact info?
How humiliating for all of you.

It is not that hot up 395, I would just try to hit Mojave early AM, and
the worse is over by Big Pine..

*I think I rather drive in heat, than drive up 395 at night.

* Death Valley in the summer, well that is different. *It is to me
equivalent of driving to the arctic in the winter, given it can be as
life threatening.


If I leave home the evening iof the 9th, I can get up the Owens Valley
before dawn. i plan to go early enough for a natural history sidetrip
I have long planned, up the White Mountains east of Big Pine and
Bishop to the Ancient Britlecone Pine groves. sleeping will be in
the truck as necessary.

I sold my last van (remember that one?) in about 2001. It had a sleeping section AND a living room! Since high school I think I owned 4 vans. Not to mention (just did) 500K miles driving an airport shuttle in SLC and Denver and the cross country tour guiding I did in someone elses van. I probably have more hours sleep (or some version of) in a van than everyone here combined. And most, a great experience. Closest I've gotten to in in Europe is in trains with sleeping compartments. Another good experience. Now though? I don't mind a nice hotel once and awhile. But I'd rather play expensive golf and stay cheap than the other way around. These days cheap can = bedbugs. Best not to go too cheap.


The cheapest accommodations in the Mammoth/June areaa \re at teh
Econolodge in ML. I have stayed there comfortabley many times.
However, this trip may end up just being two nights and a day on the
road, sleeping asnecessary.

My last trip to Mammoth we just met some girls at the bar and "stayed" with them.

Cots and those foldy pads from Costco make those impromtu sleeping locations a little easier to deal with these days. But so does my RV!
