1/4/2021 Before getting into todays adventure let me back up some. In the last post we were way back in the park on a 4×4 trail. What I didn’t mention was that when we turned around we started smelling gas, now we were back in there probably 4-5 miles off that $#@#$% rough gravel road. …

12/23/2020 Yup, we tackled more of the washboard gravel road and then some 4×4 trails that make up Big Bend Ranch State Park today. The guy above seemed to be acting as the guardian of the road, I was just glad he found us worthy of passing without a confrontation, I would had hated to …
