Then we were off to another little Village Of Moustiers Sainte Marie

If you look close in the last picture you can see the Church Notre Dame De Beauvoir 262 steps up on the mountain and the stone bridge. It dates back to 11th
century
The bridge on the way up.

We also visited the Verdon Gorge and hiked to bottom

Few more pictures from around the area

Last stop was Paris.

I'm not a big city guy, but we did go to some museums, Museed Le Orangie & Louvre. Huge famous. Long lines and wait time to get in Lots to see though !
Also went to Paris Opera Ballet to see Romeo and Juliet at the Bastille Auditorium. Amazing show even this Car guy was impressed !

The show ended late 11:30 then a walk to Metro train, I was tired and let my guard down and got pick-pocketed on the train for my Phone, lost all my Pictures so this is the only one I have of Paris.

It could have been worse !! just sad that there's such scumbags in the world !!

Sorry to hear about the pickpockets but great to see you have the right priorities & attitude! Good reminder for me as I'm headed to Europe in a couple months...

Been keeping my eye out for mention of beadlocks on daily drivers or those who aren’t afraid to drive a distance; do you have any issues with the lock rings coming loose on the highway? Or any special maintenance to keep them safe?

To be fair I don’t DD this rig and I tow it to the trail and events.
I have never had an issue with them even going 80 mph on the highway.

I do check the bolts when going over the rig before a trail run.

That being said I don’t think you really need them unless you’re doing extreme wheeling !

There also a pain in the a** and most tire shops won’t touch them.

Oh ok gotcha thanks, I thought you drove it more.
Also thanks for the advice, I’m sure I’m not an extreme wheeler. Just running the cheapest steelies I could get to begin with and was thinking about upgrading, but I’ll just try to be normal.

Cleaned up the lock ring and new hardware on the other two

Great set up as always!
Is that a SUP board on the roof? What do you do with it at Sand Hollow?

 

[bhsdriller]

^ There's a good sized reservoir there

I like your set up.

I learned driving my LX450 cross country was not ideal, especially if it is needed to be in one piece to drive back.

I am currently looking at options for a tow rig/camper + trailer. I assume you are using a hitch extension rated for the trailer + load.

I used to have beadlocks. Drove from Denver to Moab, Denver to the Black Hills and all over Colorado. Never an issue with the bolts holding the rings. I got rid of mine because i never went lower than 10PSI, so for me it wasn't beneficial. Like Richard said, most tire shops won't touch them ether. I went to Method bead grips and they've been great!
