It's kind of hard to see on this map, but it is the best one I have. The trails are in and around Chewalla lake. Look at the forest roads 634A and 634B, the trails in the video are off of those two roads. The 634A trail is called Forest Path and is the narrower of the two seen in the first part...

On the long slog back home. Here is some raw video shot from Going To The Sun road in Glacier National Park. The video does not do the drive justice. Even my teenagers were stunned into silence during the drive: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eZIQTiMyoSc"...

Ok, crossing Utah on the TAT is taking longer than planned. But I did manage to upload a small video over my cell connection. https://youtu.be/xLSXvqPzLRM Sorry for the link only. The video is the beginning of the Gemini Bridges road in Moab. The ascent in my 4runner was awesome. Also...

Friday, June 24, Fairplay, CO to Leadville, CO A day trip out of Colorado Springs to Fairplay, CO. A beautiful drive to Fairplay was not ruined when I discovered that, as stated online, Mosquito Pass was still closed due to snow. Looking at the mountains coming into Fairplay made it obvious...

That's funny, while bouncing around Colorado yesterday we were talking about the border crossings, open and close times and the best approach. This advice is golden. Thanks!

That route, west to east, is the plan for Glacier. I'll add Waterton to the trip list since we were trying to decide what to do towards Canada.

I had Weston Pass as a backup and that is what I did today instead. I was hoping the info I read was wrong. The good news is that Weston was a blast.

Thursday, June 23, Colorado Springs Pikes Peak A tourist day with the family in Colorado Springs. We drove up Pikes Peak to see a little snow and spend some time looking at the planet from above. Tomorrow I am driving Mosquito Pass and then Saturday I head to Moab via the TAT. My youngest...

Wednesday, June 22, Elk City, OK to Colorado Springs via New Mexico A long drive via pavement from Elk City, OK to Colorado Springs. Stopped at the Capulin Volcano on the way and walked along the rim of the Volcano. So much variation in the land from Oklahoma to Colorado that it was difficult...

Tuesday June 22, Arkansas TAT to Elk City, OK I will add videos once I get reliable Wi-Fi access, but I was able to do the TAT from Damascus, AR through Ft. Smith, AR. The high point was seeing a black bear on Pilot Mountain in Arkansas. After Ft. Smith, I pushed into Oklahoma via pavement and...

I don't know if this deserves it's own thread, but I left on Monday night, June 21st, on a two week trip to travel across the U.S. on the path below. I am hitting the Trans America Trail (TAT) in Arkansas, Colorado and Utah. I plan on riding through Beartooth highway in Wyoming and Montana. My...

Nobody signed up so I did it solo. I've got trail now documented from Corinth, MS through Arkansas. Mostly TAT but some others as well. I've been working on some around Holly Springs, MS as well. I did a video of those.

A few months ago, I showed my dash integration with my iPhone. It was a 3d printed piece that plugged into the 4Runner's dashboard with magnets. The original: Well, I have upped my game. I change phones on a regular basis and I purchased a phone with wireless charging. The new phone, a...
