Great Pics Too!!
Ya, but it was becoming more like a pen pal situation and it's always on my user cp and got tired of it. Look at previous posts.

Trust me, the young 'uns don't like older people talking down to them.

And some of these young 'uns wouldn't last 3 days in the military.

I don't subscribe to anything. Each thread with "new posts" automatically displays when I visit here. Plus, I don't care what anybody discusses anywhere in these forums. I was simply stating you can't teach young 'uns new tricks. They think you're talking down to them.

I learned everything I needed to know in life the hard way too over the last four decades. Because I thought I knew it all when I turned 21 too.

age has nothing to do with it honestly, i brought it up in a joking manner hoping to lighten the mood. fail.

i did not feel i was being "talked down to" and honestly if anyone does that, no matter there age i'm gonna come back guns blazing. thats just how i am i dont put up with people trying to tell me what to do. now dont take that as i dont respect law enforcement as i do...sir

has more to do with the fact its my thread and i'll update it how i see fit. if your nolonger enjoying the thread unsubscribe from it...simple enough? no?

dont get me started on the military, all the respect in the world for any american putting there life on the line for our country. but i would not last a second because i wont put up with there mind set.

with that said, lets get back on track shall we?..thanks

I wouldn't go so far as to use the word "any". Some of them have embarrassed this country to death. Throwing young puppies to their death and posting it on You Tube. All the foolishness they did in the prisons. Executing people in cold blood for the sport of it.

Tell me why you have any respect for this person at all.....

well duh, you VA should know we all have morals i guess some less then others. no reason anybody should be treated decently when they are caplible of a act like that.


no new mods, just gas and go kinda thing. dont think i'm gonna be able to do my mccarthy trip before i leave for north dakota and seattle. so i'm hoping to maybe have another shorter trip dont this week before i leave..we'll see if that pans out.

i need to give the excursion a good detail though. i have those stupid gummy snacks and some cereal on the floor along with dirt..its just gross lol but that happends when you use a truck i guess lol


have to say, i am missing winter alittle bit...cant wait to do this again!!

I saw another video where he made a blog post saying he did it because usually they shoot the dogs but today he was being "creative" so he threw it off a cliff. He was supposedly trying to put it out of its misery because it was a sick dog, but at the end of the video he laughs...

ok...back on topic.

since i ran out of time for my mccarthy trip, i decided i wanted to do another shorter road trip i've been dying to do.

headed out for Hatchers pass, Alaska. once you get up there which also has a old mining town. you can take a trail/road up over the moutain down through the valley over to Willow, Alaska. it was 200 miles around trip. about 25 of that was gravel road/trail. i spent almost 2 hours in first gear and 10-15mph on the trail. had to be one of the most BEAUTIFUL drives i've ever seen!!! cant wait to do it again.


had to gas up, had a 40cent discount..yahoo!



headed out of town





heading up to hatchers pass...this is the farm lands around Palmer, Alaska



the road up to Hatchers
