    Alaska, finally.

    And, at first sight...one would think...what could possibly go wrong... But, to quote someone well respected here... "One of the first questions that comes to a mans mind when he gets a puppy is....'what was l thinking?' " That's sage advice right there...lol. Why, l didn't read it...

    109 Expedition rig build

    BaT. Not sure if your average LR'ing/overlander would use such a nice example; know l wouldn't...but l'm below average. In my opinion, and not to be disrepectful in the least...this is a garage queen; for car shows, sunday drives, grocery-getter, ice cream social, etc. Actually, this is...

    My Journey

    Hope you don't mind...but this one of Tanner cracks me up. It's from a few pages back...okay, like 150 to be exact. He's like..."Okay, this stuffed toy has been somewhat enjoyable, and l truly appreciate your effort, but we need to have a serious talk about another real four legged companion."...

    Sleeping in vehicle in black bear country (what to do with food)

    If l'm roughing it, wilderness camping, usually stop and prepare dinner somewhere in route about an hour before l get to camp. And throw away all related items, trash, in route at bear proof recepticals. Did this whenever rough camping or at remote campgrounds in Alaska or surrounding areas...

    Alaska, finally.

    Final Summary of Trip. Alaska...and the entire route from Michigan. In a nutshell...it was a mind blowing experience. Alaska, though, not nearly as "last frontier" as in the past...it is still something to behold. It is just so vast and some portions, naturally, are still unadulterated by...

    My Journey

    Hope you don't mind me bringing this post back to the light of day...but it is a spectacular story. Actually, several post before this one and several after. Funny, just randomly chose a page number (which l do from time to time), 252, of 'My Journey', out of the 359 pages...and this is where...

    Alaska, finally.

    Made a few necessary repairs. Had the exhaust manifold gasket start leaking in Tok, on the way back. And didn't like the way the rear shocks felt about a 1/3 of the way into the trip. Yesterday, tackled the exhaust/intake manifold gasket. Ends up, the very rear bolt was gone...which lead to...

    Commenting about your wife or women in general...is like walking around on thin ice with cement shoes...sooner or later...you're seeing the bottom of that lake...

    Alaska, finally.

    It been a struggle at times, between coverting the majority of pictures to the right format and typing these posts...all while a ten week old pup attacks my phone, my fingers, my dictionary (just added to list)...the chair, the area rug, the televison cabinet, the etc, etc... This is happening...
