She looks like she is right at home and she doesn't yet know how lucky she is!

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Once we got back down to Mesquite Canyon Road we headed west to EP15. EP15 seemed to be a major east west road through the park which only required 2 wheel drive. We took EP15 west until the turn off for the Burro Schmidt Tunnel. There is a sign with an arrow pointing you in the right...

This was the view looking back down. You can see the trail disappears just ahead of me. I know the inclinometer on the FJ is not exactly super accurate but it was showing 30 degrees nose down. I would have taken a picture but honestly I did not want to let go of the wheel. This section was...

The boys wanted to shoot their Ruger 10-22’s so we let them have a little target practice while we broke down camp. It is legal to shoot on BLM land as long as you follow all the safety rules and do not shoot across roads or use armor piercing or tracer ammo. Rain was forecast for the weekend...

The sun rose early but I managed to catch it lighting up a nearby peak. It was a crisp 47 degrees so the campfire was rekindled while we made breakfast. When I say “made breakfast” what I really mean is most of us had cold Pop-tarts which I love but really only eat when I am...

Burro Schmidt Tunnel and the El Paso Mountains Just before New Year’s a couple of friends of mine and their young son’s headed out to the El Paso Mountains near Ridgecrest for a little camping and exploring. Our caravan consisted of two nicely equipped FJ Cruisers and one well equipped Tundra...
