    My Journey

    I know you are long gone, and don't eat meat, but Taco del Gnar in Ridgeway has the BEST tacos! The pork belly taco is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend it. They also have several vegetarian tacos on the menu although I did not try one. I can't imagine them being anything less than...

    My Journey

    Great to have you back! I have really missed your posts. I travelled all through the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming and Utah this summer. Those mountains are beautiful. I really fell in love with the Black Hills and Spearfish Canyon.

    What was Tanner's reaction to the rattler? Was he interested or wary of it? I know it has been a concern of yours so I was curious as to how hw would react when you finally encountered one. Good thing he was on the leash.

    Long time lurker but infrequent poster. I check your blog daily to see what new adventure the days have brought you. Jerry, our hearts go out to you during this extremely difficult time. I am going to go out this evening and enjoy the sky and think of "Sky Dog" and all of her wonderful...

    El Paso Mountains and Burro Schmidt Tunnel

    A couple of notes on this trip. We took extra gas just in case but we really didn't need it. Total miles off pavement was approximately 125. The FJ normally can't pass a gas station without needing to fill up but we used just under a half of a tank. Most of this trip was done in 2 wheel...

    El Paso Mountains and Burro Schmidt Tunnel

    Pumice was mined here and used in Holly Cleanser. The mines went back a hundred yards or so but one had suffered a roof collapse so we stayed out. About this time the rain finally let up and we mounted back up. At this point we didn't have any more places on our agenda so we decided to just...

    El Paso Mountains and Burro Schmidt Tunnel

    We headed back to EP15 and took it north up a canyon. There were a couple of very cool cabins along the way one of them being the Sears cabin. I believe these are open on a first come first serve basis and both of them were occupied with smoke coming from the chimneys. We did not stop as to...

    El Paso Mountains and Burro Schmidt Tunnel

    In the picture above you are looking south towards Mojave. You can see the rain as it is falling over the dry lake and the town of Saltdale. We retraced our steps through the mine and made it back out to our vehicles. It was still raining so we loaded up quickly and headed off to our next...

    El Paso Mountains and Burro Schmidt Tunnel

    You can't really tell from the photo but it was raining pretty hard and my camera was getting wet so we quickly pushed on into the tunnel. Not much to see inside, it is a tunnel…..The tunnel is a half mile long and is almost as straight as an arrow. Towards the end there is a 90 degree T...
