I always envisioned doing the paint scheme on the trailer to match the Cherokee. I am really undecided if I like this or not. We live in Colorado and 4 miles from the mountains. The Cherokee is Blue Metallic over Silver Metallic. The two colors on the trailer are the exact same paint. I did...

Back on the ranch, we ran butane/propane in all the trucks. The conversion was fairly easy. Back then you were lucky to get 50k miles on a leaded gas engine, but with a few changes, on propane you could get 100k miles.

I love those. I helped my son in law do some serious mods. We air bagged it so it would slam, I shaved all the trim and door handles and did remote poppers. I painted it satin black with ghost flames of slightly lighter grey and a touch more shinny. It was really nice.

Photography and the search for the perfect margarita

The facebook post link is broken. I am interested if I am in town.

I was out on Eleven Mile Reservoir west of Colorado Springs at about 6am in a canoe by my self casting for Pike. The lake was mirror smooth and totally silent. All the sudden all hell broke loose from behind me. It was a couple of F-111's practicing low level maneuvers. They went over at no...

Gravel roads tend to get a wash board surface. Airing down can help, but don't forget a good set of shocks. If you do a ton of this type of travel, I would personally get shocks there I can modify the valving to match the conditions. Remember, as you air down, the ride gets smoother but the...

It all depends on where I am going and if the wife is coming along. Historically I just slept in the back of my Jeep Cherokee for short durations. I also used a tent. The wife might stay one night in a tent but that was about the limit. As I get older, comfort is getting to be a higher...

My uncle used to be mayor of Lubbock (Max Tidmore)

My family (Houston) homesteaded Martin and Glascock counties. That means Stanton (half way between Midland and Big Springs) and Garden City (about 20 miles further south).

I scored four used old school military gas cans. I cleaned them up and painted them. I coated the inside with tank sealer. I like the large opening. I have a spare fuel pump from my jeep with a 20 foot hose and power cord. I don't take them off the trailer, I simply pop the top, drop in the...

If I am in town, count me in.

Welcome from Colorado. Hope you have the chance to enjoy overlanding here in Colorado.

At first glance I thought the pattern on the side of the vehicle was a graphic. Way cool.

What camera/lense/aperture/shutter speed did you use?

A lunch time ritual on the trail....checking everything and making sure everything is tight.

Looking down over St. Elmo Colorado heading up Hancock Pass We spent the night in our offroad teardrop at 12,000 ft.

Mountain Goats are common on Red Cone, Colorado This was taken with an 18mm wide angle lens. They were no more than 10 feet away. It is unbelievable how much muscle is on the mountain goats.

Beautiful mild trail from Ouray to Telluride Colorado - Ophir Pass
