I decided not to comment on the weed bit. Don't encourage some people. Even if you felt that you rambled, you did make some valid points. One of the reasons I went for early retirement was that I have seen many people retire and promptly fall over and they never got the fun from their "Golden...

I was sort of forcably retired years ago. I suppose I did it to myself. There was still some work but the other people had family and I felt it best to let them make a living for their family. I can spend about 4 days somewhere and feel the need to go on. Sometimes the weather and a few times...

Keep on with your adventures. I ended up with a fair amount of camera gear and all is pretty much out dated in this digital age but most shots I took back then are better than anything I have taken with my digital stuff. A totally manual camera and that funny stuff called film in it? Let me know...

Yep, some of the best adventures are remembered by what didn't go right and we seem to have had a good time in spite of it.

You do have better looking friends than I do.

Fossil jockeys? About everything I learned about closeup photo shots was from taking pictures of fossils for reports. I seemed to have spent many years dealing with the Niobrara formation.

Actually, if you look, I have pictures posted on this forum, they have been there for years. You need to do a simple search.

I see some posts have been removed by the moderators again. I'm not here for an argument. Other members seem to have some pent up anger issues and I have appeared to be their release point. I am quite willing to discuss anything in a PM. A lot of what was sent never should have been on this...

We still have dogs we can barely pry out of the water. My old lab would be out swimming in a lake with ice still on it and attempt to crawl in my lap on the way home in my old MB.

Give the dog time. My old black lab would only go in the water just over belly deep until she watched the other 3 dogs having a fun dog day out in a lake. I couldn't keep her out of the water after that. I had to think, Schnitzel, Liesel, Duke, Samantha, Dame, Jolene, Moki, Molly, Lola, Maya...

Just a tale for you as you seem to find friends everywhere. I was down in Cancun Mexico in 1998 with some friends. We had a waiter (Carlos) who busted his *** to work the dining room and poolside. We were not supposed to tip him but we did. I always left a few bills in my room for the maids...

Nice Chilli, I wondered what you were up to.

As said, a trip is just a trip until something goes wrong, then you have an adventure. You seem to be having an adventure. There's not much I can offer for help as I know how far it is to where you are. I've driven that road. Sorry to put it this way but what you chose to ride may not have been...

You are not having any good luck with vehicles.

I'm not sure about the '78 Toyota pickups but the '79 2x4s kicked butt on the hills. A friend used to deliver soil samples from Vail to Denver a few times a week. It was a personal challenge for him to see how fast he could do the trip. The one you posted looks to be in great shape.

It is an inspiring write up you are doing so keep on going on. You seem to have found out that not all Harley riders are the thugs shown in the movies. I used to ride with tools, siphon hose to share gas, oil, a can of fix a flat and helped push several bikes to get them going again. Just what...

Very nice report. I found out about the hot springs here in CO before Al Gore created the internet. You still had a piece of paper in hand in them days. I'll send this link on to a friend that grew up in NV. he has a Dr. in geology and is a fun 'ol coot. In you best Festus voice, "You know...

Jsherb, I like all of the things you build and you are a good craftsman and you pay great attention to the details. I understand why you don't build these to sell as I used to build one off wood furnature pieces for people and doing one set was a hobby, People wanted me to do more, more pieces...

Perhaps not as fun as sliding down Red Cone in a CJ3B but it beats sitting in town. I need to get my Jeep out... Nice shots.

Years ago I was the Government Documents section at the University Library doing research for a Geology paper. Got bored and just started poking around in the stacks. I found a document that listed all of the natural thermal waters in the state of CO. Temps, mineral content and flows, maps. Done...
