The Black Hills - Thunder Storms and the Cutest Cop in North Dakota I broke camp early from my spot on the Laramie River with my sights set on South Dakota’s Black Hills. The plan was to get to the south end of the park, find a spot to camp, then spend the following day doing the Black Hills...

Thanks for all the kind words guys. This still all seems surreal to me that I'm actually doing this. I have literally dreamed of it for years as I sat at my desk working 14 and 16 hour days for way too long. I know this for sure, there will never be a "right time" to quit your job and follow...

I was in software sales before becoming smelly homeless person :-). I hear what you are saying about the employment gap thing, but to be perfectly honest I'm really not too worried about getting back in the rat race. I performed well enough that I kinda feel like I earned the right to do this...

Posted up along the banks of the Laramie river...

Just tried to upload photos and no go. I appreciate pics more than anyone on a thread...but either my wi-fi or this forum software does not like me now. Post up when I can

Gunnison to Jelm WY The past few days have been sketchy with wi-fi...so here are my journal notes from the past few days... I think today is Sunday…wait, let me check my moon-dial....yep, pretty sure Sunday. After the tooth fiasco Friday in Gunnison, the biggest thing I was worried about was...

I hear you on the space thing...my Taco is pretty much loaded to the hilt with stuff, but mostly exactly what I need. If I had a bigger truck I'd just bring more stuff I don't need :-). As for Andy's Ram, it is a 2500 CTD and the only mods so far are the AEV wheels wrapped in 37" BFG AT KO's...

Day 7 - Ridgway to Lake City…and why I now hate Gunnison CO! Thursday morning started out as a beautiful day. This was a part of the trip I’d been looking most forward to, getting down past Ouray, the Million Dollar Hwy and Corkscrew to Lake City. After brewing a quick cup of coffee and...

Day-break came late…we both slept late till about 8am. We brewed up a strong pot of Peet’s coffee and went for a little hike up to this beautiful waterfall not too far from camp. When we returned we broke down the awning and tents and said our goodbyes. I won’t see Andy again until about...

Day 6 - Silverton to Ridgeway I left Durango Tuesday AM and headed for Silverton CO. Andy decided to blow off work and come with me for one night, then part ways Wednesday morning. We stopped in Silverton for lunch and a few supplies before heading up 550 to Mineral Creek. We nabbed a nice...

This morning we are going to head up to Silverton (myself and Andy) for one night of camping. From there, once we break camp tomorrow AM I'll be on my own until I hit Longbow lake in Canada around the end of July. I had bought a new Garmin Montana for this portion of the trip so I could take...
