It's been a while. For some reason my computer was blocking Expedition Portal, so I haven't been posting. It's been a cold January in Missouri and I'm looking forward to a warm up!

9 inches of rain turned my food plot into a fishing hole. Pictured is my food plot last weekend before and after the rain. My 16 ft. Tree stand is looking pretty short. My truck slid down a 100 ft muddy hill covered with leaves. I’m surprised it climbed out with both differentials locked.

Picked up some culverts to widen my creek crossing.

What’s more fun than making fire pits while camping? All you need is a strong back and lots of rocks. I’m tired!!

My little slice of paradise on the river.

Beautiful weekend to hit the woods.

Looks like we've got the opposite problem in Missouri than you do in Oregon and Montana. We have lots of public single track trails that allow Mountain Bikes and now E-bikes but not motorcycles. We have also converted our old train tracks to bike trails that you can ride all the way from St...

Does anyone have a Jeep E-bike?

Here’s my progression through Mountain Bikes. I thought riding a bicycle was going to be cheap?! Walmart Mountain Bike - $200 Trek - $700 Ghost- $2,000 Intense Carbon - $4,000 Fat Tire E-bike - $????

Love the fat tires and snow. Keep the pictures coming.

The little 6 banger is a tractor in 4Low. I had to drop it into 4L to pull the 5,000 lb. Load up this hill.

Show us pictures of your Rigs and Mountain Bikes! There's nothing better than setting up camp with the truck and going exploring on two wheels! How do you carry your Mountain Bikes, or E-Bikes?

I used automotive stretch carpet and luan plywood. Alternatively, you can glue the stretch carpet directly onto the camper shell. It's able to be stretched around corners. Also, the carpet is one giant velcro surface that you can attach anything to. I also wrapped the carpet around foam for...

Did a little tractor work last weekend.

One last day of hiking Chimney Tops and Clingmans Dome, then time to get a well earned shower in Gatlingberg.

The next day, I had plans to go to the top of Max Patch via Brown Gap Road. I soon found out that Brown Gap had a bridge out, so I took a 10 mile detour on Chestnut Ridge Road. It had a couple nice creek crossings, and multiple National Forest Dispersed camping sites. It's in Martha Sundquist...

At the top of Old Buzzards Roost road, you have a short ride on Buzzards Roost gravel road to the top of the mountain and the namesake. It's one of the nicest, and scariest views in the Smoky's. You can take the two way gravel road for a scenic drive back down to I40. I spent a quiet night at...

Next I spent some time at Ole Smoky Distillery in Gatlinburg talking to a friend of Popcorn Sutton. I headed out to Old Buzzards Roost and eventually Cosby campground. Don’t confuse Old Buzzards Roost with Buzzards Roost. The Old Road starts off nice with a beautiful water crossing. It...

Here’s some pictures from the first day at Smoky Mountains. After a day of driving I lucked out and got the best camp site at Elkmount. Right next to the river and a 1930’s stone bridge. Loved listening to the river.
