    Big Bend trip anyone...?

It seemed busy, but that place is so wide and vast that it did not affect it much. The main places that got affected... (1) Chisos basin from 8am till 1pm. The place was...

    I know how that feels. Some people are truly out to waste a sellers time. If not interested, nice to email you back to say not interested. Your truck looks nice and well maintained. Make sure you list it everywhere. On the xterra forum, on craigslist and maybe on autotrader. Your truck should...

    Big Bend Again - It was Better than Ever.

    You will be fine in a Sequoia. I did Black Gap in 2015 with a bunch of FJCruisers. I was in my fully stock Nissan Armada. I did use 4Lo to go up the gap. It was fun. I did not scratch anything. Oh, maybe I did touch my side steps. But nothing my Armada could not handle with stride. The only bad...

    Big Bend National Park - Nov 2017

    Very nice response. Thanks for all that info. Glad you guys figured out what was wrong with the DJI Osmo Mobile. And yes, your wife did an awesome job holding that thing for that long. I will look into that Adobe Premier Pro to see if I can have it. Too bad it is a monthly subscription service.

    Big Bend National Park - Nov 2017

    Thanks for the response. Yeah, your wife did a great job holding that camera to shoot the whole video. That must have been a lot of work and tiring. She worked really hard for that video. Kuddos to her. Did you get a lot of pin-stripping at the beginning of the trail? That spot made me not...

    Big Bend National Park - Nov 2017

    Nice shot report. Glad you could help the couple with the flat tire. Those roads are rocky and not forgiving to street tires. I am sure as tourists, they may not have know the risk of taking that huge suv offroad with street tires. But lucky for them you were there to help. Got any pictures of...

    Today, I took the second car at the house I am staying at here in France for an hour drive into the countryside in the south of France. I got on the freeway and the speed limit was 130kmph. But everybody seemed to be doing 145kmph and there was a steady flow of traffic. Then I suddenly saw a...

    Yesterday, I spent the whole day going around Paris and looking at all the most popular touristic destinations. I must mention that I was truly surprised that every single metro rail that I go on they will always make an announcement that people should watch out for pick pockets who may be pn...
