There is a Jacob Hamblin Museum in St George Utah. He was an early pioneer who explored a lot of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona.
They have his saddle in that Museum with note that he rode it for 30,000 miles. When I first saw it years ago, I was very impressed that an early explorer could ride that far.
But after 20 years of riding, I'm finding that I do 1200,-1500 miles every year, That 30,000 number comes around pretty fast.
So maybe one of my daughters can inherit my saddle when I'm gone and say her dad explored 30,000 miles of Utah/Wyoming on horseback.
Got some more work done of the Montana...... There is a handle on an alum shaft that opens the gray water tank for the galley....... It was so close to being broken off, it would not have lasted the summer. It is fixed......
Good morning crew!
Ready to head up to the AZ strip for a few days of exploring n camping.
Jon, that looks like a sweet saddle, hope you get many years of enjoy,ent from it!
And when I saw the this, I thought of Gerry and all the other school bus driver types here!
Good morning guys !
We had beautiful weather yesterday, for working outside.
Looks like that's over for a while. I will be ready to start planting season, when the soil warms up.
Have a great Friday !
Still cold and snowing here. New record set!!! Friday, April 13, 2018, 9:31 AM - Some records weren't meant to be broken and this, is definitely one of them. The city of Edmonton, Alberta has become the (un)lucky winner of an historic stretch of cold weather. We're talking nearly SIX months of overnight lows below freezing.
Apparently ... the new floor made our furniture look like crap.
So I got the call on Wednesday from my wife to bring sled ed out of retirement and go pickup "a new couch". Told her I can pickup a couch with the truck and was told to go get the trailer .....
Turns out to be 2 couches and a love seat. Can't wait for the visa bill, my wife doesn't know it's a recession .......
Storm due late tonight and into tomorrow. 3 to 4 inches of rain...severe thunderstorms and possible tornado's. Glad we changed our camping trip to next weekend. Lots of festivals going on this time of year but that doesn't stop the partying!
3 yrs ago these rail cars were blown off a bridge in the New Orleans area about 40 miles from my house. That morning the sky was the darkest I've seen and looked like the world was going to end. This was just a freak storm that kicked up!

Darren, she has very good taste. I like it, but you can keep the bill.
Ask her why she needs a "love" seat !
Darren, it looks like the snow is disappearing up there.
How is the new timber property shaping up ? Still mowing and cutting out there ??
The snow is going steadily now. Supposed to have a couple of warmer days now so should take care of the rest of it soon.
Ice will be on the lake for a while tho.
I will be mowing out there but I think I am pretty much done with the cutting. Most of it was to clear for the shooting range.
Wife bought me a pretty good BDay present
Will make things a bit easier at the cabin.
Where are you at with your spring work?
Must be high and dry by now?
