Just spotted this masterpiece outside of Amarillo.
You can’t see it from the picture, but the triple axles for the trailer were lifted as well.

Spring over axle lift is fairly common.

I’d LOVE to know what motor he put in that truck!!!

Either way, I GUARANTEE YOU…that thing is rough as hell with that 5th wheel on it! I bet he put the hitch as far forward as possible.

My nephew stoped by camp tonight after he got off work to have a few beers. He picked up the rod and made one cast and landed this nice stripper.

1st cast strippers can be dangerous, and difficult to get off the hook...but the "fight" is hard to beat.

We tried like crazy to catch another one but no luck. First cast curse.

The last stop of our 20ish day tour-
Texas state park Copper Breaks near Quanah Texas.
This park is decently spread out, has a pond and a lake to fish, both need water bad. The pond isn’t easy to access and full of moss, the lake is low but weed/ moss free. My son was able to pluck one LMB from it before dinner time.

Total miles this trip- (to Rushmore, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons and Rock Mountain National Park and back) 4523. (Not all towing)


This is our second 20 day trip. The previous was both sides (North and South) of the Grand Canyon with plenty of stops each way.

Some thoughts- this trip Peaked for us days 10 through 14 . After that we were spent, still in the groove but wore down.
We skipped some of the Rocky Mountain National park do to fatigue.

7-8 hours drives on the way home are doable for me. Any less and it’s like why are we stopping already, any more and my rear is ready for a break.

It will be Texas based trips for the remainder of this year.
One at the Guad, one at the beach and one at COTA for the MotoAmerica races. [emoji1303]

Time to replenish the vaca fund [emoji51] before the next big something.

P.s. - for all you greasers, my trailer bearings did get some squirts 1/2 way the trip.

Landed my personal best spec, 22”.




We are headed to the beach today and Koe Wetzel concert at the Wharf tonight.

Everyone comes to this part of Alabama for Gulf Shores and Orange Beach

We are camping on Fish River in Fairhope, no crowds, traffic and chaos. We are about 30 minutes from Orange Beach.

[bowhunterhelm]

We did the beach yesterday and ended it with the Koe Wetzel concert. We will be heading home this evening. 700 mile trek, probably leaving around 4:00.

After living in ours almost 300 days while building, and having canceled trips for the past 4 months, we are headed to Galveston tomorrow for a few days. We will let the builder get the shower/mirrors installed first of the week and final clean so we can move in when we return. Much needed get away.
I have to say our Grand Design Transcend systems have been top notch. Glad we'll be able to give it a rest til fall.
