A beautiful sunset to end the weekend last week

Router kitty!

Shadow loves to sit here at John and Savannah's house.  I imagine it's warm and cozy.

One of the group caught me on camera…

I was considering this little obstacle.  I backed down once the angle got to 40º.  Some dude in really built a Toyota did it just before this shot.

Of course we had to pose for the “sign”

Badlands offered a lot of fun from mild to wild.  There were a zillion people there Saturday last weekend, but Sunday was relatively quiet.  It was really fun to spend the weekend with Josh and Cody.  We even listened to our church services on the trip.  Technology! 🤪

It was fun winding through the woods with Cody

We followed this creek bed for a while.  He was getting his legs washed in this pic. Haha.

Decent sized group

Of course, we had to pose for a pic of all the rigs lined up.  the lower left was where we stopped for a lunch of MREs.  We had to find shade wherever we could.  

Some of the fun from last weekend.

It was HOT, but we had a great time.  The dunes and rocks of Badlands let us enjoy what a Jeep and the ATVs could do.  It was fun to catch up with Josh and Cody along the way too.  

Meanwhile, Cheyenne is enjoying sewing!

She made these cute bags so I decided I needed one for some of my gear.  I am forever looking for something to throw a few things in when I'm running out the door.  This will work nicely :)

And we’re off!

I thought the lineup of Jeeps for our weekend of wheeling was pretty cool looking in my side view mirror.

Cool clouds on the way to a weekend of camping with Josh and Cody

The other vehicles

I loaded up my Jeep AND the ATVs for an action packed weekend last weekend with Josh and Cody.  I towed my camper, Josh towed this trailer.

A Jeep caught in the wild…

…creeping through the woods :)

I Customized my sticker…

…because that's more what off-roading feels like 🤪

As many ducks as I’ll allow myself…

The tiny ones are cute and the camouflaged, nerd propeller, rifle duck personifies me well…

The little ones are each special so I kept them around. Yellow is 3D printed by one of her clients and given to me by my chiropractor when she found out I'd bought my first jeep.  Green was given to me by some of the first Jeepers I met.  I stumbled into them again randomly when my TJ engine blew and they gave me a duck since they felt bad for me.  Tiny yellow is also 3D printed and was handed out by my club at Jeep Jam.  I had a blast there getting people into off-roading (many for the first time).  The green tiny one is from Lakeside, Marilyn's.  That reminds me of all the fun we've had shopping and relaxing there with kids over the years.  

Let’s see what happens…

The boys found this random, old, hook knife in our travels.  It's been bouncing around in my trailer.  I decided to put it here and watch what happens as things grow…
