There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

There should be a service station every 30-40 miles on I-10. I have ties in Louisiana and live in California and have driven that route a few times in a SUV. I don't remember a long stretch without gas.
I have never been a big fan of carrying gas. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with that plan: leakage, stale gas, expansion, explosion.
I have traveled highway 50 in Nevada which is known as the loneliest road in the country. Gas stations are 75 miles apart and if you miss one you are certainly looking for the next one.
Good luck. Hurry home. California is at its prettiest right now.

Drove that route many times. Trailering my car to "Hot August Nights" in Reno. To say it's desolate doesn't do it justice.

This is now on the list of rydes to take. I did the B.U.M.P.S. run a couple of years back which took me all over Nevada but never on this road. My bike could just barely make 163 miles on a tank. A gas can would be a comfort I suppose.

So do I. My wife says she can smell a bit of a gasoline smell sometimes but not much. I don't smell a thing but my sense of smell isn't very good.

Has anyone used those red metal cylinder fuel containers you see in hiking and climbing stores? I think the large ones only hold a gallon. But I would feel better about them than a plastic gas can (even Reda). I know a gallon isn't much. But I would view it not to regularly extend mileage but for emergency only.

I use the MSR canister w/gas for my little single burner camp stove. They're OK. But nothing to write home about. It's almost impossible to fuel one without seepage (the cap works well) it's what happens when filling. Once something smells of gas it's going to smell like gas for a while. Ya know.
I used them to store camping gas [white gas] Forgot i had them in my work room they been setting there for at least 15 years, Never leaked or lost any over the years.

Ever use a California gas nozzle...... Ha! Have a single wheel trailer that can be pulled by any of my bicycles. It halls the camping gear. The gas container for the stove has it's on water bottle style holder and I keep it away from everything - that I don't want to smell like gas. My stove burns a variety of fuels, so when all else fails. GAS IT IS!!
