How's that on the turned pic? Bill

Methane?

A new American Gothic?😃

43.8615070064639, -110.29443105837858 Yes. It is actually a decommissioned National Forest Service campground. There are still a pit toilet and bear boxes there and there is non-potable water. No garbage service nor electric or dump. Note that the reason the Forest Service decommissioned this campground was due to bear activity some years ago. In the past several years I've seen a couple of black bears wander through camp, and there has been Griz poo and tracks observed within a half mile. I never walk around my campsite or anywhere in the camp without appropriate protection on my person. Bill

Yep - Lifetime warranties are also questionable.🤪

In this view of the Tetons I'm headed WAY up the Gros Ventre River. Just north of the "major" (not) town of Kelly this was a place I could not resist to take the first pic. However, if you are ever near Moran Junction look for Elk Ranch Road and head for GPS: 43.82592677366998, -110.50216569188429. Here there are some old buildings and great views of the Tetons without being around 1,000 of your closest friends. Also, note that there is plenty of room to turn an Oliver around here. Finally - if you are in this area and have never eaten Dornan's Pizza (on the upper deck)(GPS:43.65754766116248, -110.71075629684981) , it is pretty good with a great view of both the Tetons and planes preparing to land at the Jackson airport. While at Dornan's you can also get gas, beer, wine, fishing stuff and a small selection of grocery items. Bill p.s. If you decide to go to Dornan's and you are towing the Ollie - a couple of suggestions- 1. Go early. The pizza place opens at 11:30 am and there will be a line of 20 to 50 people at that time. 2. Do not park down in the "store/gas area" with the Ollie. If you can pull down into that area so that you can turn around and head out. Park on the side of the access road and walk the short distance down into the store area. p.p.s. HERE is another review of Dornan's

Here's another camping site just off the Chief Joseph Highway - and - this one's free. No water or electric or dump but there is a pit toilet and fire ring. Crandall Creek is at the bottom of the hill behind my Ollie and there are some nice fish in that creek. GPS - 44.848679, -109.639157 Bill p.s. note the last pic - there are times when the wind comes straight off those mountains in the distance and it can blow fairly hard.

Dead Indian Creek is right behind Twist and is full of cows and fish (see second pic). This campground is located right on the Chief Joseph Highway about 35 miles north of Cody, WY. Bill

Oliver just might have one left over - but - hurry to find one in that I understand that these sinks are difficult to come by. The main reason that Oliver changed windows is that the manufacturer has stopped making them. Therefore, they are no longer available. Bill

Heck - at my age, I just enjoy waking up! 😇

While I did not have this specific discussion with the folks at Oliver - I doubt that Oliver is completely eliminating ALL propane from the 2026 models. I suspect that there will still be propane for use with things like the water heater, furnace, outdoor grills and firepits. Bill

AND - somehow that Oliver meets up with another Oliver just outside the town of Meeteetse, Wyoming!

A bit of an update on getting "older hull number plaques - We have investigated (with great help from Matt Duncan) using either one of the two sources that Oliver has used in the past for these plaques. Unfortunately, neither one of these companies is interested in producing limited numbers (i.e. one or two at a time) even if the small orders are combined with a larger order from Oliver. The good news is that apparently there are at least a couple of individuals that can produce these plaques at prices (including shipping) under $50.00 each. Matt is currently in the process of finding the original "artwork" that is in digital form and getting in house approvals for the use of this artwork so that it can be used by owners wishing to obtain these plaques for their Oliver. Hopefully we will have complete details within the next several weeks. Bill

Yet another Ollie "in the wild" - This time it is at the Box Creek Trailhead due west of Moran Junction, WY. Bill

Yep - there were many things that could be "Optioned" back in the day. But, then we started to "complain" about quality control. So, the solution was to curb options. Bill

Back (in the day) all propane cooktops were oriented with the "back-splash" opening towards the curb-side of the Ollie. However, (as Mossemi states above in about 2017) because we owner's kept asking for the cooktop to be oriented with the back-splash oriented towards the rear of the trailer, the company listened and made the rear facing back-splash the "norm". Some of us said that this not only allowed the back-splash to help deter "splashes" from reaching the bed area but it also increased counter space. In reality, since the area that the cooktop covered didn't actually change, there wasn't any real additional counter space achieved and there was some concern that if a person reached across the cooktop with the front burner lit, there could be a risk of catching a sleeve on fire. With the new convection cooktop there is much less risk of a sleeve catching on fire. However, there will be the need to have pots and pans that are compatible with convection cooking. Bill

And, basically this grey wall covering is NOT removable. It is applied to the wall prior to installation. At present there is no option for ordering an Ollie without this covering, but, I've heard that there is a continuing discussion about this (and other things) inside the company. Bill

AND saw some of these (for those that have never been in this area of the country, the second pic is about all you can see for as far as you can see - sharp eyes will note the three sage grouse at the left hand side of the road).

Hope ya got a few of these:

For anyone that has actually been to Atlantic City, New Jersey - Here is a picture of Atlantic City, WYOMING

On BLM land near - Atlantic City, WYOMING

Also this is a "nice" reminder as to at least one of the reasons we sanitize the fresh water tank. Bill

A couple of years ago I secured a small bag of these clips - probably 20 or so. Be happy to send you a couple if that is what you need. Bill PM me with details
