That Scout is quite a machine.

Yes it would! My dad has a 1,000-lb pivoting crane in his truck bed that does that. No way to mount one of those in the Ranger bed. Hopefully with the tilting bed and this winch I'll be able to drag large dead things up into the bed. Now if I could only draw another elk tag...

Installed a winch headache rack on the Ranger.

Signed.

On Wings of Eagles by Ken Follett

Good stuff! I first started the series in the mid-90s, reading the three or four that were available. I set those aside for many years, but restarted when there were 11 books. That's about when RJ died and his wife worked with BS to take over the "final" book. BS reviewed RJ's notes and realized...

Been teeny bopping with my 14-year old daughter listening to "Skyward" by Brandon Sanderson. I like the way he finished Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series, so we gave this a shot. Its not a bad teenage sci-fi book.

I run 295s on my Ram 2500 and have been very pleased with them. I don't think they will be high mileage, but since I only put about 5k mikes per year on the truck, they will age out before they wear out. They balance and run smooth and aren't as loud as expected. They have done great in mud...

Installed chassis skid plates on the Ranger. A-arm skids still to go.

Cooling off with my daughter on the mighty Rio Grande.

Yep. After a tow, if I know I'll be hooking back up soon, I leave the big ears out so I don't have to readjust. So, at times, you'll see me rockin' the big dumb mirrors with no trailer. But at least I don't have low profile tires sticking out past my fender flares and a chrome stack jutting out...

Missed camping in January and February, but got in some great camping and backpacking in March, April, and May. We just completed a 53-mile, 6-day, 5-night canoe trip down the Green River to the Confluence. We have a week-long backpacking trip planned for Colorado in July and Troop and/or family...

Thanks for the river pictures Thursty. Looks like we're in for some fun canoeing week after next.

Super proud of my son - this was his weekend. On Friday we held his Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Here he says the Eagle Pledge. And this morning he graduated from high school with plans to attend NM State in the fall.

I learned to drive a manual, and most of my vehicles have been manuals. My two primary vehicles now, a 2011 Hyundai Sonata for commuting and a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD for towing and hunting, have manuals. Of my three kids, two are driving and both can (more or less) drive manuals. My oldest does...

Okay, I'm going to steal that idea for the Scout troop. Let's see how many parents freak about kids eating glass cleaner. :) Window licker anyone?

Thanks fellas. We are definitely in contact with Tex's, but I also know the value of first-hand information from those who have been there and done that (or at least saw that :) ).

Howdy everyone, I could use a little intel/info/input from those of you in the Green River area. Months back, my Scout Troop booked a canoe trip down the Green River from Mineral Bottom to Spanish Bottom near the confluence with the Colorado. We are using Tex's Riverways as a shuttle to drop us...

We haven't used it in a few years, but we have one of those Thetford units and it has been great.
