    My Journey

    Man, 2023 has not been a good year for you either! My dad (89) started off the year with a helicopter flight to the hospital. Got released to go home, just before Memorial Day. Before he got released, we found out one of my nephews has cancer. It's not looking good. I found out today, a...

    Dirt Sunrise: Tim and Kelsey get lost...

    Binged a little over the weekend. The top 6 (?) with the climb above 18k was nutz! It was the 45pt turn to go back down that would've done me in! I enjoy the leisurely style of the eatting off of the grill while recalling these adventures! Bacon management while doing so, very impressive...

    My Journey

    I noticed those and recalled the two scenarios (I think), but that's Jerry's story to tell. Love the way the barn is set up! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    My Journey

    All of this talk about hip surgery makes me wish my 89 yo dad could take advantage of it. He had a rough go, with other medical issues, at the beginning of the year and has recovered nicely, for the most part, but has so much trouble "getting around". Glad to see so many benefit from it at a...

    Overland Route - Texas Hill Country

    As a Texas lifer, I only discovered the "Hill Country" a couple of years ago. I'd traveled between Hico and San Antonio, many times and thought that was what everyone called the hill country! This route has been on my radar, but I haven't made the time to do it. I've stayed near Casteel as a...

    ITTOG's Overlanding Trips

    Breck is a yearly trip for us. I have a nephew that moved there, after college, and is living my dream! I had hoped to retire there as well, but will likely have to settle on another area of the state. I have close to 10 years before that's much worry! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    My Journey

    Jerry, I'll look into the trip report thing. Honestly, I only come here to read your posts. If you haven't posted since I last checked, I usually take a look in the classifieds. Most anything I might be interested in is usually in CA or in the NE. Thanks for the compliments on Scout! She is my...

    My Journey

    Because most here like dog pics, I'll post a few from our flatlander's trip to Colorado. First is Scout, she's an ol' pro at posing for pics these days! Second is the girlfriend's little princess, Molly, and Scout. Molly is just starting to travel. She's been a bit sheltered, when it comes to...

    Sorry for you loss of a friend. May Bert rest in peace. I had forgotten about the Aspens. Such a beautiful place you have created there! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    My Journey

    Before work, this morning, I turned on DangerTV and saw a bit of a North Face team in the Himalayas. It instantly caught my attention as one of the climbers used his ice axe to aid his ascent. I claim to know nothing about climbing, but through this thread, "I know a guy"! This show further...

    Keep checking back, hoping for dog duo pics, hounding around in the snow. Enjoy your break! Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    My Journey

    My passion is fishing (don't tell Jerry, I might get blocked from his thread [emoji16]). I enjoy the solitude, the scenery and every tug at the other end of my line. It frustrates me to no end how people trash our resources! I see it in the places I fish, the mountain trails I drive my Jeep on...

    My Journey

    The experience with the kids would've been such a great on to witness. I follow Peter Santenello on youtube. He recently finished up a series visiting different reservations and talking with different generations at some. I thought about your travels, while watching several. Those would be...

    My Journey

    Looking at those old pics and your comment about telling your story around a fire has me missing sitting around a fire swapping stories with friends. So many of us live ridiculously paced lives and have abandoned those meaningful relationships, just hanging out, enjoying life by the fire. No...

    Transamerica and such

    Great write up! I'd love to make this run some day. Do you have more pics of how the inside of your Jeep is set up? Reservations...I experienced the same here in a Texas State Park over the weekend. Their policy is as long as you show by noon on your second day, you keep your spot. There were...

    My Journey

    Those snowy mountain pics are great! The rock along your fence is a nice touch! I often wonder when I see rock "fences" how long it must've taken to relocate the rock (I always imagine by horse drawn wagons) and build the fence. Does make my back ache a little thinking about all of that rock...
