I had been watching some of Scott Bradys' Africa / Grenadier videos and I heard him recommend two Ineos dealerships.....one in Colorado and this one in Utah..... I ended up agreeing with Scott and if I go forward with purchasing one of these, I hope it'll be from Warner Ineos in Salt Lake...

Ace.....if you go to Page 240 you can see how we managed to find a route to the top. It was not an easy endeavor..... Finally it seemed as though we were really headed home.....we drove north & west along Highway 89 but once we got to Kanab, Utah, I once again had a change of mind. So now we...

We climbed that butte back in 2020.....it was awesome.....and it was actually while down climbing it that I injured my hip.....which resulted in me getting a hip replacement several years later..... And now here were again.....with yet another injury..... I kept thinking that the knee...

Ace.....if I did videos, they'd be much like that.....the content I'm referring to.....of course the quality would be nowhere near that..... Day 4.....3.27 miles (this sucks) Day 5.....2.76 miles (this sucks even more) We passed through Flagstaff, Arizona without making a single stop. We...

ITTOG.....since seeing the doctor, my mileage has gone like this..... Day 1.....11.02 miles (what was I thinking ?) Day 2.....7.25 miles (at least it's an improvement) Day 3.....4.23 miles (getting closer) halseyt.....I sure hope so. I'm often thinking of heading north.....I can't make any...

I'm curious why the diesel engine is not an issue for you ? If you plan to take this rig to Central & South America one day, doesn't the high sulfur content in the diesel fuel that you might get there concern you ? Thanks for posting this. It's interesting and that's coming from a guy that's...

We continued north along Highway 87 and when we came to the turn off for Lake Mary  Road, we took it and continued driving north. That road is incredibly scenic and before I knew it, we had pulled onto yet another Forest Service road and spent one more night on the Mongollon Rim..... We...

ITTOG.....the hardest part is restricting the dogs' movement. That absolutely kills me. I'm posting from home today and just yesterday I went to get x-rays and consult with the doctor. I told her that I'd been resting it but she doesn't consider going from 12 miles per day to 6 miles as resting...

One thing that I didn't lose sight of while camped here was the sensational weather.....every day we had beautiful skies and temps that required nothing more than the wearing of a tee shirt.....there's always something to be thankful for..... And the sunsets......I remember each day ended...

Arjan.....there's really nothing like it..... After a great day of hiking, I decided to head down the mountain and to drive into the nearest town which happened to be Safford, Arizona to grab a warm meal. Afterwards we drove to the nearby Walmart to spend the night.....one of the worst nights...

ocdiver.....there's another hobby that I know nothing about. That thing in his lap didn't actually look like a computer but it was the only guess that I could come up with. And thank you..... The drive down the mountain was just as great as the drive up the mountain. This time I made it a...

It felt good.....maybe I would even say enlightening.....to hike through the towering pines that covered the higher elevations.....much like the flowing water, these trees too have been greatly missed..... From the Forest Service website..... "The Pinaleno Mountains are the highest of...

PNWY.....nope, no air compressor installed in this rig. I had one in my Chevy truck plus a portable one, but I've never bothered to install one in this truck..... Sierra Valley.....yep, it's felt good to help her out. We were in no hurry..... Ace.....I remember that story..... Next up for...

Ace.....indeed..... That afternoon.....after it seemed as if most everyone had left the hot springs, we jumped into the Jeep & drove over there, but the reason for this was not to soak. I had been looking around on my maps for something to climb and I found this one mountain to the northeast...

Beyond the trees and the fencing was a vintage windmill.....I've developed such a wonderful love affair with these things that seem to still be such a common sight in the American west.....there was no wind on this day so unfortunately I wasn't able to hear that creaking sound of the unoiled...

Ace.....nope nothing like that at all. It just seems to be what they do. It's interesting to watch Sandhill Cranes prior to take off. As I said before, they seem to get real agitated.....almost working themselves into a frenzy before finally taking off in large flocks.....one flock after...

And then this mass of birds take flight.....some fly to the west.....and some fly to the north..... And then it was so odd (to me).....they all turned around.....just one initially..... .....which was followed by another..... .....and then they all began to return to the lake.....I was...

Ace.....I did and I'm so happy with my decision..... thedavidzoo.....I've never given much thought to visiting Fort Bowie always thinking that it was more than likely something for kids to enjoy. I met a couple at the hot springs that raved about that place. It sounded interesting to me at that...

It seems fitting here to say that I had saved the best for last.....cause we headed for home after leaving here..... We backtracked to Benson, Arizona to load up with groceries and to fill the water bottles. We had extinguished just about every staple that we require. From there we drove...

And those sunsets from the base of the Dragoon Mountains were often outstanding..... It was also the full moon stage which of course was sensational.....just wandering around at night observing the campfires of the climbers and stopping in to hear their stories of their achievements and...
