This would require a bit of explanation. I may start a thread in case there might be others who would be interested but are not following this thread.

But I want to get to some other things right now, and might not get to it right away.

The idea allows me to do my favorite types of touring (forest service roads, trails, high desert, middle of nowhere, middle of everywhere sorts of trips that take me away from stores and other places where one might find the usual sorts of fuels being sold) without having to interrupt those fine sequences of days and weeks in the wilderness, with the mountain lions and the prairie falcons.

And the moon and the sun, and the hot springs, and the sky and clouds, and trees and rivers and hummingbirds and eagles and wild horses.
