    ITTOG.....current bid is at $5,500..... Furbucket.....I'm not a fan of trekking poles. Back in the day when I climbed bigger mountains with a 70 pound expedition pack, I was a user. Now I'm pretty much just a day pack kind of guy..... Arjan.....no pain on the flat ground for the most...

    PNWY.....I hate to see any animal like that.....it pains me..... ITTOG.....it's now up to $3,800..... On the opposite side of Highway 310 from  Gebo, Wyoming, lies the tiny town of  Kirby, Wyoming. The first thought that came to my mind as I crossed the railroad tracks that bisected this town...

    My Journey

    The goal was simply to leave that stiff wind behind. And the only way to do that, was to drive south.....I kept watching for flags along the way.....hoping to finally see one that didn't look like this..... We, of course, were in no hurry, so we made stops at every roadside sign to learn a...

    Riversdad.....people pretty much suck. I'd guess that 90 % of the trash consist of drink bottles / cans. It's difficult to understand why people can't just take it home / dispose of it properly.....but then I remind myself that people suck..... Both the General Physician & the Sports Medicine...

    My Journey

    That evening.....as the winds were temporarily dying down, we went for what turned out to be one very long evening walk..... We followed one of those seldom traveled gravel roads that eventually turned into nothing more than a seldom traveled trail that wandered into the forest..... As I...

    My Journey

    Of course I was a bit disappointed that we hadn't achieved either of our goals but the day was still young.....very young.....so I decided that we'd head further south to see what we could get into next.....Highway 310 led us to Lovell, Wyoming and here we turned east onto Highway 14 but for...

    furbucket.....it seems as though I went from "admitted knucklehead" to living legend in a single post ! Seriously.....that's really cool.....a total surprise. I liked it.....thank you..... ITTOG.....I'd love to see you get it. I suspect you're familiar with Thomas Mangelsen since you're a...

    Sierra Valley.....it's funny that you say that. I wear a Fitbit watch and for that night I scored a 91 (excellent) for my nights' sleep. I couldn't agree more..... *********************************** I received this email from Wyoming Whiskey this morning and I thought that some members...

    My Journey

    I thought it interesting.....the contrast of the old.....the X-X Ranch and the windmills that surrounded it..... We followed a seldom used dirt road as far into the wilderness as we could go with my rig and when we came to this small brook filled with the Spring snow melt.....I...

    My Journey

    ITTOG / PNWY.....I sure hope it's a good read.....I ordered the hardback yesterday..... We headed east along Interstate 90.....through what I consider to be some of the most breathtaking parts of all of Montana. We got a late start that first day so we didn't travel too many miles. We made it...

    ITTOG.....thanks, I feel like I got lucky on that one..... Here's another book that you might be interested in reading.....I have not read it.....yet..... Local paramedic covers Grizzly 399, 'chonky' bears and more in new book...

    My Journey

    ITTOG.....my guess is that for the most part, the books that I read aren't best sellers, and maybe not even good sellers. I think that my interests aren't a good representation of the general public. I pick up a lot of my books from used bookstores while traveling..... You're right.....good...

    My Journey

    It seems like it's been far too long since I've done a book report (I've read 7 books since my last book report), so I'd like to get that out of the way before I begin to journal about our current somewhat short trip..... And by the way, there was a reason for me posting a picture of that...

    Sorry Bob.....the worst days of our lives are the days when we have to say goodbye to one of the pack.....dogs.....our true best friends. The inside of my truck camper is plastered with pictures of 2 of my best friends....Yukon & Montana. Never forgotten.....I feel your pain..... Jerry, Tanner...

    Snowfall was frequent during those last weeks of March here at the cabin..... The dogs loved it.....me not so much anymore. It's funny how much the younger me once loved conditions such as these..... Now I'm fine with a good book waiting on the good weather that's sure to come..... It...

    Ace.....thanks.....I actually looked there but didn't see the particular model that I'd be interested in. Used could certainly work for me. I'm looking at a hefty price tag for the rig that I had in mind, but now that everything that is foreign produced has a tariff attached to it, I'm not so...

    My Journey

    Ace.....never.....I've had the Jeep for too many decades to ever think of replacing it. I would only go with the Grenadier if I go on a specific trip that I've been thinking about. I don't want to get too far ahead of my skies since typically I prefer to post about what I have done as opposed to...
