Slowly but surely getting there!
Where was this picture taken? Looks like the Big Hill outside Lajitas, TX where DOM Rock (see Fandango movie) is located.

Me, my rig and my camera in a nice spot! The summary of happiness…
of course, the family are together… behind the scenes! ;-)

Very nice. I really wish I had the knack and skill for photography. I either can use my iPhone - which is usually buried somewhere deep in my gear (thank you Apple Watch) - or I can use a Canon PowerShot SX420. It's like a step above a point-and-shoot & a step below a DSLR. I am a volunteer wish granter with Make-A-Wish and the camera was a donation to take photos at wish reveals and things like that. None of my photos are ever any good though.

Really you don't like your pics? I encourage you to see a lot of this subject on Youtube. You can take classes on web too. You will learn a lot of tricks to improve your pics. ;-)

I think I am just way too far left-brain oriented. I just need to find someone who is more right-brain creative to ride with who can take adventure shots.

Here's a few pix of one of my adventures. I actually did all the body work and put it back like new and wheeled it for 4 more years before the unibody started coming apart at the seams.
The funniest part is that I drove it back from Moab (400 miles on the interstate) that way. I got on the web the next day and read an article about some crazy bastard a white XJ driving on the interstate in a busted up XJ...

Those really are some of my favorites of all time. If I had the money & space I would love to have an XJ for just taking on the trail. 1 of my first cars was an XJ. In my opinion - Jeep really screwed the pooch when they dropped the 4.0 liter inline 6 for the 3.7 & then 3.6 V6. I kept my 96 XJ around until about 5 years ago as a back-up car until the trans finally went. It had over 350k on the odometer. It had a few pages of problems at that point that didn’t justify trying to fix it. In SC we don’t have safety inspections or emissions tests, we just pay annual property tax. I had it registered w/ a farm tag & only insured it for the mandatory state minimum. It only cost me like $450 a year to keep it road legal. I just paid $800 for the property tax to renew my tag on my Subaru (new cars are the worst). No wrecks, no tickets, no negative marks & I pay like $1200 annually for liability, comprehensive, collision, underinsured, uninsured, rental reimbursement & custom parts/equipment insurance coverage.
Things were easier in those days w/ that Jeep....

My Jeep WK. Finding parts for a WK isn’t super easy. That’s for sure. 
Here is the current status of my rig.
Thanks! It's a Baja Rack, flat utility. Like it a lot...
