In 2011 my wife and I spent a month in South Africa. On our last day, in Capetown , we went to a street market. In a large pile of books I spotted “The Elephant Whisperer”. After spending 14 days in the Kruger, and being in very close proximity to herds of elephants, my wife and I developed a...

If you find yourself in Dubois WY again, hang a left, going east, on North Horsecreek road and work your way 30 miles in to the Double Cabin camping area. My wife and I were there many moons ago in the fall, 2007??. It was a magical place. We had the whole place to ourselves. Don’t know how it...

Hey Jerry. Here’s a guy who’s videos I think you might enjoy.

my wife and I have been “on the road” for about a year and a half. Not overlanding, but traveling. So far…Spain, France, Belgium, England, Türkiya (2 months), Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, New Zealand (3 months), and right now in Australia (5 months). For our entire married life, we have...

I’ll never understand the need to make motorcycles as loud as possible, maybe compensating for something. I really feel sorry for people who live by popular roads like Tail of the Dragon in the Smokey Mountains. I lived in the Florida Keys for 25 years and hated “Bike Week(s). Their run to Key...

This was at a top10 in Geraldine. I told him to just get out there and do it.

Longing for what we can’t have. At least here in the USA. shared a campground with this fellow. Brand new and he is hesitant to take it off road.

I understand your reason for getting back to your cabin, but…….BRRRRR

Yours and tacotheworld are about the only threads I follow.

While traveling throughout Türkiye we saw stray dogs, and cats everywhere. It seemed to be part of their culture to take care of them though. Restaurants put out their leftover food for them. Neighborhoods seem to adopt them. They all seemed happy and fair healthy. one neighborhood actually took...

I was really grateful to Ram for my exhaust brake while towing our 40’ 5th wheel through Salt River Canyon. Set the cruise control and never touched the brakes all the way down.

I read that book, probably about 35 or so years ago. It’s where my internet handle comes from.

I’m always conservative going up, evaluating what it will be like going down. I tell my wife, people don’t fall up…they fall down.

I sure hope Tanners injury isn’t a torn CCL, Cranial Cruciate Ligament rupture (CCL) is one of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs. This injury, similar to a torn ACL in humans, can come on suddenly or can appear gradually over a longer period. The cranial cruciate ligament helps the...

We’re not traveling by vehicle, yet. We’re using air, bus, train, and rental cars. So, I don’t feel that we qualify to post trip reports here. After Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Malaysia, & Borneo were hoping to be in Australia where we want to purchase a vehicle to travel for an extended...

I get the love / hate relationship. I lived in the Florida Keys for 25 years, and prior to that have been going there since I got my drivers license in the early 70s. The Keys have changed from a funky place where fishermen and drinkers hung out, to a place where the uber-wealthy have taken...

Those Olukai’s are going to be hard to replace!

Your place looks idyllic, until that white stuff starts falling. Only one dog picture? You’ll have to do better! My wife and I are In Turkey now, lots of strays. They all look in pretty good shape. The restaurants put out their leftover food at the end of the night for them. You also see lots of...

My wife an I spent a month in SA in 2011 and would love to return for a longer visit. The country does seem to be backsliding politically into more corruption. We spent time in Cape Town, Hermanus, Franschouk, and 12 days in The Kruger. It was all amazing.

That’s why I went big. I was worried about the legal, financial, and moral issues of causing an accident while overweight.
