Great photos, looks like it was a great trip! Jealous over here! Thanks for posting and sharing.

Trip to northwestern Wyoming. Paved roads are good, snow possible in May and June, backroads are generally good with four wheel drive and clearance, breathtakingly beautiful in and out of the National Parks. Photos Unparalleled beauty

Trip over Boreas Pass (between Como and Breckenridge, Colorado) and Mosquito Pass (Alma to Leadville). Narrow road, a shelf road in some places. The road over Boreas Pass was the 19th century rail road grade. A few rocks, very narrow in the rail road cuts. Boreas Pass is not challenging in good...

I have three of the Garmins of different generation and always keep one in the glovebox but actually... I never turn them on anymore. A lot more fun to wander around aimlessly until I find what I want.

Like I said, I am pretty loyal to BFG. I can deal with a lot of faults in a product but the one fault I can't tolerate in anything is failure in a critical situation. BFG has never failed me, no matter what I asked them to do. I appreciate that.

At the time, the 255-80/17's were the tallest BFG (33.3 inches) tire they made that was a Load Range E. Dick Cepek made a 35 inch Load Range E at the time, but 33.3 was the tallest E tire BFG made. I believe BFG is now making a 35 inch Load Range E. At the time I had to decide between 35...

This is all disappointing to read. I have been a very very loyal BFG customer for twenty years. In 1992 I knew I had nine nails in my four BFG AT' (235-85/16's at that time) so I went to the tire shop, said put it on the rack, pull the nine nails out and patch the leaks. They put it on the rack...

Yes it is quite amazing. Maybe the most remarkable thing I have ever seen made by man, considering the timeframe and technology available not to mention the location. You just wonder 'why' and 'how'? What were they doing with these immense buildings and why are these immense buildings located...

Trip to the Snowy Range in southern Wyoming; one the most beautiful places in the west. Hardly ever many people there, easy to get off the main roads, lots of four wheel drive paths, relatively close to home, lots of wildlife. Win win win win win win. Here you go: If you ever find...

I love Wyoming, and the days I made this trip the weather was excellent. However Wyoming typically has the most challenging weather on any state I have been to (and I have been to 49 of them). Okay, maybe Alaska in the winter is worse. High winds much of the year, bitter cold in the winter, and...

Trip through central Wyoming, great history. Four wheel drive not required in good weather but endless things to go see in the backcountry! Atlantic City: Miners Delight (a ghost town not far from Atlantic City) Independence Rock inscriptions. Travelers on the Oregon Trail had to...

Trip to Hovenweep, which is partly in Utah and partly in Colorado. Just north of four corners. Very disparate, can be a good distance between buildings and sites. Some require a decent amount of hiking. Some pavement, many BLM dirt roads that are not bad in good weather. High clearance is useful...

I thought I would post some trip reports, starting with Chaco Canyon: A lot of photos, summary is Chaco Canyon is well worth the twenty-five miles of rather dreadful road required to get there. It is a very very cool and fascinating place to spend some time. 1000+ years ago, these buildings...

We just took a different path that wasn't always direct and smooth. My great great great great great great grandparents and their family and peers had a lot of moral courage that I am thankful for. However, I do want people to appreciate Canon de Chelly because it is, I think, a very cool...

Yes, Cherokee... and thanks for the welcome! It is good to be here...

It is unfortunate that the state of affairs there distracted you from the actual canon. I rode horses into Canon de Chelly with my daughter and it was a great day; great place to be.

O si yo Full disclosure: I am a member of a tribe and though I live states away from our nation; my parents still live on the nation. I was just in Crow Agency this September; again no where near the worse of the reservations. Overall I would say the Ute, Jicarilla Apache, Crow, Shoshone and...

There are a lot worse reservations than the Navajo Nation. That aside, Canon de Chelly is fairly spectacular. Chaco Canyon and Hovenweep are also in the area and are just as, or more, spectacular. Very few places will cause you to scratch your head and wonder as Chaco Canyon will.
