I do remember quite clearly the last words that the Orthopedic Surgeon said to me....."just don't fall".....and my response was something like " I don't fall"..... .....and then it was time to start a new day.....and it was time for yet another climb..... Our next little adventure here in...

We hung out on that mountaintop much longer than we usually do. There was this perfectly placed bowl in the summit rock that was filled with cool, clear rain water.....a real treat for the dogs..... Looking to the north lies West Mountain Peak (7,697').....the tallest peak in the area.....and...

Ace.....this could easily be another short trip.....time will tell. Regarding a second dog.....I never really considered two dogs until that day that I found Montana in the Appalachian Mountains. My plan was not to keep him, but he turned out to be such a great dog that I did, and I quickly...

Jbynum.....thank you.....it's truly a labor of love..... Riversdad.....thanks for following along.....I can't wait to see what life has awaiting for us.....two nights in the camper now and it feels really good..... Arjan.....my dogs are only good for giving me the will to live when I think...

The next wall to be completed was in the kitchen.....now this was the BIG project.....I had to dismantle the shelves that I'd previously installed.....then there was just a real added difficulty to working around the granite counter top & the appliances.....believe me it was a ton of...

Ace.....I miss my snowshoeing days.....good times of past days..... ghostdancer.....hopefully it's not that. After a few days of walking / running / wrestling on three legs, I decided to slow him down. I only let him outside on the leash and refused to let him wrestle with Trapper. After three...

The walks in the fields now seem to be almost therapeutic.....there's a certain calmness in the air that accompanies this time of year..... I sure do miss the deer that we would typically see on these walks.....I wonder how long it will be before they return..... The air is...

Ace / halseyt.....thanks guys..... The days & nights of November and for most of December as well, in southwest Montana were mild and dry. But finally things were to change and the bitter cold returned to our little cabin..... Every morning we're gazing out the east facing sliding...

On November 18, 2023, I told Ace that we were leaving soon. Well, obviously that didn't happen.....the weather has been too good. And I find that I'm just as happy working on projects at the cabin, as I am living on the road..... Two days ago I loaded the camper onto the truck...

Ace.....back in my Peace Corps days in the Amazon, we washed our clothes in the river. We'd smash our clothes against the rocks and once cleansed, we'd dry them by hanging them in the tree branches. They never fully dried due to the intense humidity. I've also done the bucket thing while...

As usual.....fascinating.....interesting..... and perfect grammer.....what more could a reader ask for ? Thank you.....

The sudden drop in temperatures was followed by a sudden rise in temperatures.....fortunately for me...... I do enjoy sitting by a fire.....sipping on a mug of hot coffee.....and reading a good book.....it's been awhile since I've mentioned what I've read, so here's a few..... Of course...

chet6.7.....going home most certainly was the best decision that I made that day.....indeed a great song...... JD.....I stopped there years ago on another trip while traveling in the BigFoot truck camper.....beautiful place.....this time we didn't bother to stop as the last thing that I needed...

mekcanix.....thanks and it's no problem as I'm definitely on the mend. As a matter of fact, I'm now beyond my restrictions that the Orthopedic Surgeon put on me.....which means, that I'm now allowed to be stupid again.....and believe me when I say that I am.....enjoying life..... chet6.7.....no...

We dropped the truck somewhere along the Oregon Trail..... .....and once again took the Jeep up & into the Wind River Mountain Range..... That road got rough as we ascended those mountain slopes..... We made multiple beautiful stream crossings as we pursued the Big Sandy...

The smooth surface of the lake changed faces often as it mirrored the ever changing skies..... That smooth surface was occasionally broken when a fish would grab an insect and leave that small, circular ripple in the lakes' surface..... Our campsite was on the eastern side of the...

DTAdventures.....welcome & thanks & it's my pleasure.....I enjoy telling the story..... We chose a spot along the side of the mostly graveled road that ran close by the shoreline of the Big Sandy Reservoir....at the crest of a small rise in the road.....cause the views from here were simply...

Ace.....sounds like it's closed for good.....probably not a bad idea..... ITTOG.....I thought the same.....it'd be hard to find a worse neighbor in that situation..... JD.....it was..... We reconnected with Highway 26 south of town and then headed further south. The plan now was to take the...

Arjan.....I see someone that identifies as an Overlander as being someone that focuses primarily on their vehicle & their travel by vehicle. Basically their enjoyment & contentment is found through & by their vehicle. I'd say that I'm just the opposite of that as the vehicle, for me, is simply...

ITTOG.....agreed..... PNWY.....Wyoming .....it's a real nice place..... Foy.....it went well for us other than the north side road being covered in snow & ice. I'm not real comfortable in that rig of mine in that situation....fortunately, it being so late in the season, we had the place to...
