    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

Not a requirement. You could just be visiting a campground for some other reason or parked by a picnic table or by a camp circle or bonfire as examples. Heck, in front of an outfitter or camping supply store would do. I have pitched a tent in someone's yard when they hosted weekend long parties. I was thinking of as wide a net as possible.

Cool, thanks Don...I?ll see what I can come up with 🙂

State Park beach and campground closed this time of year.
I found my way into the beach area parking lot (Hey, they should have the post closer together, eh.), and to the far corner where they have stored all the campsite and beach picknic tables for the winter.
Have been seeing them there for a couple weeks, and thinking would be interesting to see up closer.

Picture shows how many camp sites and picnic spot there could be at other time of the year.
I think is an interesting picture. But I also think if showed picture to 100 people and asked them to describe it, not a one of them would say "camping".

Happy Black Friday, One and All...
Let's vote...
This week's theme from Don (dpep)
For this week lets make the theme, "Camped Out." Campground, campfire, campsite, tent, table, etc. Alternative would be bike loaded with camping gear.

And that's it for this week....Good stuff...Thank you all...
 
no entry for me this week but i am voting for Jedz123. Cant get much more "camp" than that, lol.
(no offence intended, just a pun based on the theme)
 
Although Dave wasn’t sure it met the theme, I think it’s just about perfect. Voting for Redman and his tilted-up, off-season campground picnic tables.
 
Voting for mr. Burque73. That camping spot with the big rocks is almost alien looking to me. I've never been to the south west US.
 
I'm voting for Burque👍 It looks like a movie set from a old western movie. Question, Roger, do you put a rope on the ground around your camp to keep the SNAKES out?? 😲

I'm voting for Burque as well. Brings back memories from many trips to the SW. SNAKES!!! Never had a problem with them until we bought a fake snake at a novelty store in Page AZ and tossed in Steveo's sleeping bag. Boy, was he pi$$ed at us. LOL.
 
well been having password issues for the last few days and missed my submission....sooooo it’s Burque for me as well.

Connection and password issues for me too. Wifi pooped out and so did my memory...

Voting for Jedz123. An unlikely touring machine, but he pulled it off.

That was definitely rattle snake country but we didn't see any. Just made sure tents were zipped up tight.
 
I wouldn't be mad to find a rubber snake in my sleeping bag... I would be dead from a hart attack!!! Mental note; Sandy can be a practical joker... 🌞
 
Gonna hafta go with kerrfunk...

The colors are wonderful...
The pixelation gives it a nice impressionistic, painterly look...
And, very important to me, he is one of the very few to give his bike space to move forward...:cool:
