We continued driving south as I pursued somewhat warmer temperatures.....and our next stop was at the Valley of Fires Recreation Center (not to be mistaken with the one near Las Vegas, Nevada)..... To be honest, we only stopped here because I saw on ioverlander that they had hot...

PNWY.....change seems to be negligible in the area where we had camped. Remove the barbed wire, the fence posts, and the two lane paved road, and I'd imagine it looks the same now as it did centuries ago..... Ancho Peak (7,825') was next on our to do list. This peak was nothing more than...

Fascinating trip and the photography is outstanding ! Once again, thanks for sharing your amazing life with us. And once again, I say.....I sure do wish you posted more often and shared hundreds more of your photographs. I typically read your posts and view your photos 3 or 4 times at a minimum...

"U.S. Route 50 (US 50) is a transcontinental highway in the United States, stretching from West Sacramento, California, in the west to Ocean City, Maryland, on the east coast. The Nevada portion crosses the center of the state and was named "The Loneliest Road in America" by Life magazine in...

Rather than backtrack and return to the interstate, we continued east and once we reached the tiny town of Mountainair, New Mexico, we turned south.....now headed down Highway 55. With just a few hours left of sunlight, we stumbled onto the Gran Quivira Ruins..... Of course we stopped, but we...

I decided to leave the dogs in the truck while visiting here, I wanted to enjoy this one on my own..... Again in Nepal, now nearly a decade ago, I was so fascinated by the stone.....it's always the same..... The wind ripped right through me that day.....and there was no way of...

Ace.....not that I'm any expert but I'll bet the number was way higher..... ITTOG.....that would be an awesome backyard ! You must miss it quite a bit. That being said, that gator doesn't look real dog friendly so it wouldn't work for me..... When I had exited the interstate that morning...

We never did see those white birds here.....but we did see tons of migrating birds..... I'm fairly certain that it was the Sandhill Cranes that we mostly saw here.....but there were plenty of other waterfowl.....I don't even hazard a guess as to their names..... We spent an entire...

Ace.....no..... Dougnuts.....not sure..... Four days of city life turned out to be plenty for me, so I decided to return to the life of silence & solitude. We returned to the interstate and we drove south, now looking for that massive flock of white birds that I had mentioned in an earlier...

It was cold that day and the wind was whipping right through that Jeep..... We were somewhat prepared but somewhat wasn't quite good enough.....by the time we reached that summit, well, I was already ready to go back down..... There was a lot of snow up there..... The...

RealTruck.....I appreciate those kind words. Thank you very much. I just enjoy wandering.....as I often say, "to see what I can see". There seems to be a never ending supply of miracles in this world..... Everyone.....thanks to everyone that are willing to take the time out of their busy days...

We made several trips to the historic district.....probably my favorite part of that town..... .....as you might be able to tell from the pictures that I've posted here..... And my favorite shop.....it was here.....where I spent $197.....gifts for my friends up north..... Well...

Ghostdancer.....yep, I see the connection.....Ghost Dancing was the name he gave his rig.....does "small world" apply here I wonder..... Ace.....there's so many places, so many mountains.....so much to see and do. I need another life to get it all done.....maybe even two..... Eventually the...

The real beauty of this highway is it's crossing of the Black Range Mountains..... One thing that you might have noticed in my pictures is the sheer number of warning signs for hairpin turns.....it's endemic of this road..... The road passed through a stunningly beautiful canyon, then...

Ace.....I've been struggling through Blue Highways..... After our somewhat lengthy stay at the Santa Anita Mountains, we finally decided to move on.....onto Interstate 10 headed east..... And like most readers here, I too dislike the interstate, so we eventually left the interstate behind...

And somtimes we actually rested.....sometimes not moving can be a good thing. While I never got out the lawn chair here.....I did relax a bit..... The sunsets were mostly spectacular during our stay here.....the weather was good.....the clouds passing from the west to the east were...

During our stay at Madera Canyon, I most enjoyed climbing the peaks but that's not the only thing that we did here. On non climbing days we could be found walking along the Forest Service roads..... .....or riding around in the Jeep.....not four wheeling mind you.....riding on well maintained...

This would be our second attempt at Mount Wrightson (9,456') and my thinking here was that if I'm coming at it from a different direction, and with the few days of extraordinarily warm weather that we'd just had, that maybe it could still be summitted..... We came across a signpost for...

JD.....they are indeed the best of buds..... We spent an entire week camped in the Coronado National Forest so of course there's one more "epic climb" that we did while we were camped here. Both of our "epic climbs" exceeded 4,000' of elevation gain and both of our "epic climbs" were in the...

.....and the north slope sees little sun.....just enough to melt the surface during the day and to refreeze each and every night..... Now I was really struggling to see a mountain ahead of us within the distance that the AllTrails ap seemed to indicate. We passed this huge...
