Thanks for the offer. I am heading up to Bannf from Whitefish MT today. A bit west of you. I appreciate the offer though. Cheers,

Hey Bruce, Yep, you're not far behind me. It's pretty wet up here in northern MT. Soggy, actually. It is supposed to clear on Thursday, so hopefully in time for your route to Calgary. Who knows, we could cross paths up north. I start zig zagging in a couple days. That'll slow the process...

All these spots so far have been my back yard destinations for the last umpteen decades. I know most of this territory, up to the Canadian border. Then is starts into the unknown for me. The key for me is planned flexibility. Have a goal in mind, and be flexible enough to accept plan B, C...

Yellowstone National Park Yellowstone National Park Mile 1200 I have a love/hate relationship with Yellowstone. As a kid, it was the first National Park I visited. The remoteness of our family adventure destination and all the magical things that mother nature put on display set it's hooks...

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. Troy, it will be here faster than you think. I may be solo for the next little while, but I am not alone. Cheers,

Good question. A little bit of everything. I have an iPhone packed with music, and Sirius satellite too. But the mainstay is audio books. I wish I could say I listen to some deep or educational or thought provoking. Nope. Mystery novels, filled with good guys and bad guys. Clancy...

Teton National Park Teton National Park Mile 1150 Day 2 ended with a stop in Salt Lake City to catch up with some old friends. It was fun to visit our home town again. After a bite of breakfast at Market Street downtown, it was time to get on the road. Day 3 goal was Teton National Park...

Yes, that is total trip mileage at that point. I thought it would be a cool little addition to the thread. Cheers,

Capital Reef NP Capital Reef NP Mile 520 After a crazy long first day, I found my way to one of my favorite camp spot in Southern Utah. It's a half mile off State Road 12, just east of the town of Escalante. I've taken a few folks there. To my amazement, it was empty. I arrived just before...

Bryce Canyon NP Bryce Canyon NP Mile 450 I was able to make it Bryce Canyon NP for sunset. Third part in the first day. Bryce is at a much higher altitude, up closer to 8,000 ft. The colors are unlike anywhere else. The formations are breath taking too. I was in the park a little less...

Sorry I didn't see you. You should have slammed on the breaks and waved. Cheers,

The tires are in pretty good shape. Yes, they are the Falken Wild Peak A/T with about 15K of use. It should be a good test, that is for sure. No plans to sell the 4Runner. I am going to hold onto it for a while. I finally have it prepped close to the way I want it. Cheers,

Grand Canyon Grand Canyon Mile 120 What an incredible way to start off a trip. Within 2 hours of Prescott is the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. On my way north, I am attempting to bag as many National Parks as I can. First stop was the south rim. As proof of my exploits, I am getting a...

Spot Messenger Tracking Link Spot Messenger Tracking Link So I still have a 1st Gen Spot. Way old school, in a high tech sort of way. One of the great features it has is the ability to share your adventure's path with all your friends. It's nice for inquiring minds, concerned family, and...
