    My Journey

    Is that a Brooks saddle on your LHT? I have been kicking around the idea of getting one (and have actually been planning on doing it, but just haven't yet). I have read a lot of reviews that say they take a while to break in, but once you break them in they are the best. How was your experience...

    My Journey

    The cabin is looking great... everything fits so well. I'm just getting back from 3 weeks out in northern Alabama and southern Tennessee. Did a fair share of rock climbing and cliff jumping. Good times. However, I'm beginning to think I'm getting too old for the big cliff jumping part. Stopped...

    Decisions, decisions... the grass is always greener it seems. I don't know if you will ever be content with your decision, but it seems like in this situation it does not have to be a permanent one. Good luck with whatever you choose and thanks for the many years of entertainment and...

    I could sit and stare at petroglyphs all day... they are so amazing to me.

    I think you posted about your giant a while back and I thought it was interesting. You don't see too many out and about. Mine are rescues and had it pretty rough early on. It's a shame they are prone to the toe cancer. Part of it I guess. My female was one of the smartest dogs I've ever had.

    Hey Jerry, Well I just caught up with "Your" Journey after leaving off when the pandemic started. I started back in the office first week of March (2 days a week), and I don't do much leisure internet on my own time. It's great to see your travels and pictures as usual. After suppressing an...

    Jerry, I haven't been able to put into words what my mind is thinking, feeling. I think about my past four legged friends, my two current ones... I think about Montana and Yukon, and Tanner. Then I realize, there is nothing that can be said to ease the pain. I've heard people say, "We don't...

    "Sky Dog" It's only fitting that Yukon can share a nickname with the greatest southern rock guitar player that ever lived, Duane "Sky Dog" Allman... maybe you should play some Allman Brothers for Yukon next time y'all are driving down the road and see if she likes it lol. Stay strong Jerry...

    Cameo by Yukon?!? With near pupfect grammar as well? What a treat! Wishing you the best Yukon!! My female dog, Little Lilly, her favorite food is french fries. So on her birthday her and my male dog, Jack, get to split some McDonald's fries as well. Jack is a bacon fan so that's what they get on...

    My thoughts are with you and the crew, Jerry. I know it must be tough, but remember the Dharma (hopefully I'm not overstepping by suggesting such). Not only did you inspire me with your climbing adventures from back in the day, but also to look into the beliefs that you envied. I believe you...

    My Journey

    My thoughts are with you and Yukon, Jerry. I know it's tough to watch your best friend fade, but you have all the memories forever. On a lighter note, I've just finalized plans with my climbing buddy to do Mt. Whitney and Half Dome next week over Christmas. It should be a good time, and I'm...

    My Journey

    I've got some nice trilobites that I found when I was a kid back in Louisiana. My dad was big into searching for arrowheads and has quite a large collection. I would always go with him and I guess that's what started my interest in looking for the fossils. It always amazed me finding something...

    You can bring your dogs to Big Bend State Park, no problem. I'll be out there with my 2 in a few weeks.

    My Journey

    Surly LHT... boy that's my dream bike!!! I've been "touring" (about a half dozen 10-14 days and 500-900 miles) on a steel frame bike I bought from a local manufacturer here in Austin, "Fairdale". I'm poor so it fit my budget, but I have come to like it quite well. Only qualm is that it needs...
