anyone compared the magnuson and harrop back to back? I've heard on paper the Harrop outperforms but in real life the magnuson is a more fun driving experience.
I was trying to figure out if I was having a hard time breathing because of the thin air, or because I was exhausted from all the climbing, ha ha. Probably both.
We passed a bear eating berries in the trees on the way up. Probably the brother...
Thanks Dave! My friend actually stayed up there with a buddy to summit again today hoping to make it 11 times. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate so half way up they had to abandon the attempt.
We stopped in this spot to take some pictures of all the pigs at Pig Party. I stood next to @Gordobe as we admired the Tetons. He made a comment that there is not likely an easy trail to the top of that peak. I told him I'd let him know because I...
This was part of the main road in the Needles District that of Canyonlands. There was an obstacle that apparently you’re supposed to avoid and back the vehicle up in reverse to avoid climbing over the rock. I guess our group likes doing things...
Thanks Ron! I'm glad we were able to come up with a good route for you guys this early in the season. Jeff and I had a great time running trails with you all showing you a bit of our little slice of heaven here. We saw some cool scenery, drove...
Really glad a great time was had by all at PP25!!! Thanks Ron for the recognition on so many things, especially the efforts by Jake and Jeff…100% agree! And you do look like a model in that hat! LOL it was great to see a good size group again...
Here's the only picture I took of Yogi. After Jeri yelled, "there's a bear" and getting her in the wagon, yelling at him and finding the camera, he had walked behind the trees. That's him in the middle. I yelled at him and he just turned his head...
Now that I've unwound, I'd like to give thanks to people who put this trip together and made it one to remember. David, you did an excellent job of taking charge and making decisions, so hard to do with a big group. In addition to planning the...

Gotta love all the chatter after a pig party. I’m still trying to find my way home. Now 3 more days of driving to visit family
Today I visited ma and pa in Brooking Oregon ( may they continue to rest in peace)
Started the trek south and...
I made it home. That was a fantastic trip and always a great time to see you guys. 1800 miles with just under half of that in the dirt.
Happy dirty pig. No speeding tickets.
I left Ketchum and zig zagged through the saw tooth area dipping in rivers and hot springs using Craig’s method of using as many dirt trail to bypass asphalt as possible. Got to a hotel at 10:00pm on the 44 in Boise for a much needed shower...
The drive through Grand Tetons National Park Sunday morning was BEAUTIFUL!!! The Jenny Lake scenic loop was like one of our trails but paved! Great to see everyone at PP25.
Take another hour or so to relax before heading out to the unknown.
