Arjan.....yep they're loving their little plot of land in the mountains.....thanks..... Sticky9.....yes, that saddle is a Brooks and yes it takes a while to break in, and yes it's a really well made saddle, and it's well worth the money as they are fairly expensive.....I'd say go for it...

Yet Another Morning in Montana..... The past few months have been a good mix of clear skies combined with warm temperatures, and cloudy skies combined with cold temperatures & rain or snow.....and it's fortunate that there's been plenty of inclement weather.....as we're having right now.....the...

Sierra Valley.....most of Montana is still in drought conditions but April & May were normal rainfall months. I guess we need more than normal to get back to normal but I'm still grateful to at least be at normal for a few months..... Riversdad.....it pretty much sucks..... Occasionally I...

halseyt.....my pleasure.....thanks..... Sticky9.....when I see Alabama, I immediately think Alabama Hills so that took me by surprise. Your trip(s) sound great so you should posts a few pictures at the least.....I think we're all ready for travel pictures.....enough with this interior...

Hey Naks.....I was curious last night and clicked on the link that you provided for Angama Mara. I started browsing their website and found myself thinking maybe I'd like to take a trip to Africa (one continent that I've yet to visit) to view the wildlife & climb something. I've actually read...

Ace.....the black boards are "stained" with a solution that I make.....I use black chalk line & mix it with water. This technique allows me to have an endless number of colors.....simply depends on the amount of chalk line & water that I choose to use. Thank you..... tgil.....when I was young...

The pic of the vultures devouring the elephant sure is a heart breaker. Any idea what took it down ? Your pics are always amazing. You should think about telling your story as well. Thanks for posting here.

"(Andy planned this trip around Ireland to include 65 points of interest and 45 driving hours, don’t worry, only giving the highlights here)"..... Actually I would love it if you posted more often so my worries are just the opposite. I look forward to reading everyone of your posts, always...

Ghostdancer.....this book is a bit different than all the others that I read as it focuses on the people that have lived in the Bears Ears and the surrounding area over the years. It's a whole new perspective which I found to be very interesting. Lots to learn about the Bears Ears..... Now...

ITTOG.....just yesterday I got a referral from the doctor to go see the physical therapist. I've got an appointment in June. She mentioned that I'll have to slow down for a few months.....and that thought gave me an enormous amount of anxiety. I've already gone from 5,000 miles to 3,000...

jgaz.....the hand saw photo is a bit misleading. I used a table saw to split the weathered boards and then finished it up with the hand saw.....the outcome was exactly what I was looking for. And the legs were actually perfectly level.....that outcome was a total surprise..... ITTOG.....how's...

tgil.....so here's one of the many projects that I've been working on since returning to Montana..... Ace.....I thought that pumpkin was going to land in the field behind my cabin.....it came so close.....the dogs ran inside the cabin and stood at the door alternating between growls &...

ITTOG / Sierra Valley / fisher205 / Ace / sburks737.....I took much too long to get to this post.....my apologies..... On April 27, 2022 we moved into the cabin.....it was almost surreal.....like a pumpkin in the sky..... But it's all good here..... We've been trying to get accustomed...

Ace.....that bicycle does not belong to me.....that bicycle belongs to Iohan Gueorguiev the Bike Wanderer. And that picture simply reflects my dream & his reality. I own a Surly Long Haul Trucker.....I was once a long distance pavement rider..... sburks737.....great questions and thanks for the...

And so it was that we continued north.....leaving Utah Lake behind..... Now the highway took us into the suburban sprawl of Provo, Utah .....and I was not quite prepared for this..... So at this point I decided that we'd get onto the interstate.....the lesser of the two evils.....and...

ITTOG.....I do have some accurate and some inaccurate miles, peaks, etc. to share. I'll do that in my upcoming last post. I'm hopeful that a return to Nepal or Tibet is in my future.....possibly in the fall although maybe not until the Spring of 2023.....but time will only tell..... Sierra...

We spent yet one more night camped along a highway.....a herd of sheep grazed nearby..... Early the next morning sitting there with my hot mug of black coffee, I got onto Google Maps to see if there was anything interesting to visit as we traveled north..... I remember that morning well...
