We get another visit from a wild bobcat at our home in Tucson. These guys are really bold!

I rode my dirt bike in the snow over Engineer's Pass on the Alpine Loop in Colorado. No problems, but probably not the smartest thing to do without any fellow riders.

Great Basin Hwy US/93, Henderson, NV Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge >Spans the Colorado River between NV and AZ >900 feet above the river >First concrete/steel composite arch bridge built in US >Widest composite arch bridge in Western Hemisphere >Second highest bridge in US >World's highest concrete arch bridge In actuality, 3 bridges were constructed to complete this work. Watch for: 1. A cable/gantry crane/supply bridge to supply all materials to the work site. 2. A cable stay suspension bridge to construct the main arch. 3. The final arch supported main bridge.

The north rim of the Grand Canyon is much more beautiful than the south rim. It is 1800 ft higher in elevation, heavily wooded in national forest lands, and not nearly the tourist trap of the south rim. It takes about 200 miles more driving to get to the north rim - that's undoubtedly why there are fewer visitors (relative to the south rim). The North Rim Lodge is spectacular; well worth the extra drive to get there!

A little day trip while camped at Gardner Canyon.

A drive to and through a really special place. It you are in southern Arizona, this is a "must see" in our book!

The object: get the photographer wet!!

Departing Nutrioso, AZ and heading west toward the Crescent Lake area where we camped. This area was devastated by wildfire in 2012, but is still beautiful with the new growth aspen forest. We experimented with our 360 camera (Insta360 ONE R) and Insta360 production software.

Social distancing with our friends in our side-by-sides. No, it has NOTHING to do with Covid. It is all about not having to breath someone else's road dust. The idea is to stay back far enough to stay out of the dust of the vehicle in front - but not so far that they have to wait for too long at each intersection. Unless you are the last vehicle in line, we stop at each intersection and wait for the trailing vehicle to catch up enough to see which direction the group is going - then hammer down again. That way the group stays together. It is great fun, much safer, and enjoyable (not eating dust all day). The dust (or lack of it) determines the separation distance - on a muddy road, the only rule is not to run into someone else. But if you can spray them with mud, then go for it LOL!

This gives you the ability to use your phone GPS system to track your location and use other GPS functions even where there is no cellular service for your phone.

An easy 65% increase in battery capacity by using a larger battery. Requires a new battery hold down strap available from your Can Am dealer.

Do you need a light bar? If you drive at speed and at night, then YES, you need a light bar. Check out the difference between headlights and a light bar in this video!

This is a non-sponsored user's review of the Can Am factory flip-up spare tire rack. This is a great rack. Note that you will need side rear view mirrors as this rack severely restricts viewing behind you with a center rear view mirror.

If you own a side-by-side (SxS), you need to carry a spare drive belt plus have the tools and knowledge to be able to do a field replacement. The best policy is to purchase a spare belt, then change it at home using only tools that will stay IN your SxS. Keep your original belt as an already broken in spare in your SxS. You owe it to yourself, your passenger, and the others who ride with you to be prepared for this common failure.

We camped at Taylor Park Reservoir and headed off for a day ride on this trail.

A pretty drive up the canyon alongside Nellie Creek, dead ends at the parking area for the Umcompahgre Peak trail.

Additional avalanche damaged areas in Colorado. In some areas, the avalanche was so powerful that it came down into the valley and continued on going uphill on the opposite side of the valley - an uphill avalanche!

The impact of avalanches can change the very nature of forest lands for years. Here are some examples from the 2018/2019 winter in the back country of Colorado.

During the winter of 2018/2019, there were heavy snow storms and thousands of back country avalanches in Colorado. By September of 2019, the snow had still not completely melted and there was significant evidence remaining of many of these avalanches. Here are some examples!

South of Castle Lakes on County Rd. 36, FS #821 goes up through Wager Gulch, past the Carson Townsite buildings, on to other destinations including Heart Lake and Lost Trail off Hwy 149. Near the top, make sure to follow Rd. 36 back North to overlook the Castle Lakes area, ending at an old mine site. This is a steep, narrow road with sharp switchbacks requiring a short wheelbase, high clearance, 4WD vehicle.

In Colorado's Alpine Loop, near Lake City, Engineer's pass crosses the Continental Divide at nearly 13,000 feet MSL. This gorgeous drive is not for the faint of heart. High clearance vehicle required; 4 wheel drive highly recommended.
