Gorgeous scenery!

Thanks USCG! Love that pic in the North Woods - my new background pic for the Fall. We don't get much Fall scenery here in Texas - different shades of brown...


Thanks again

Beautifull day for cruise

I finally got around to installing the lower front fenders over the fibreglass I've been running since getting the truck on the road four years ago.

Decided to take a run up one of my favourite roads just 5 minutes west of me. Never that busy and get a good view of the mountains (not in picture) to the west.

Great scenery! I love being out on the plains with no one around, easy to pretend it's '52 again!

Scott; I'm targetting next year to cruise down in my truck to see your area. Don't know where we will be with paperwork at the border after the election.

If you drive across in your pickup you will be fine. Hopefully running across the border with a plastic milk jug filled with water won't work anymore.

If one specific female US presidential candidates wins , there will be no more borders. Just like the UN plans. Read it today, UN agenda 2030 and her campaign speeches.

Back on topic, now. Beautiful pictures. Thanks

Couple of shots on the climb into Los Alamos NM (el. 7360') today. Not many Fall colors, mostly evergreens. I took the scenic way home, thru the Jemez Mtns., which starts with a brutal 8 mile climb to 9,000 ft full of switchbacks.

Lookin' Good guys

Ross- and you manage to keep the truck running cool on those climbs ?

Scott - beautiful scenery, gotta love those mountains.

There are some great trucks featured here, and some near great.

Keep on truckin', and reviving these classic trucks!
