Our favorite instants are Starbucks, but they are hard to find.

My fault. I brought up the coffee maker. At least we aren't talking about propane fire pits.

What's more important about boondocking than coffee? Wait a minute, you've got a propane fire pit? Wow!

Here is thread that might have gone unnoticed by some from FORDF250HDXLT from his winter road trip with a ton of great pics of the outdoors and mostly tenting it across the states.

Ok.. off topic over.

I eat meat and hunt.I can help shed some light on this darkness with my Native American culture,for those interested:

Like most Native American beliefs, the Mi'kmaq traditional spirituality is animistic. This does not mean that we worship animals - the term 'animism' means that we recognize and acknowledge the living spirit within all things. As one would expect, this encompasses the entire animal kingdom, but we also acknowledge the spirit within plants, and within the rocks and waters of our world. We also do not 'worship' these things. Instead, we recognize that their spirits and our own are akin to each other, and we treat these spirits with the same respect we wish for ourselves. As in many Native American traditions, this respect is expressed verbally with the phrase "All My Relations," which acknowledges our connection with all things around us. In Mi'kmawi'simk, this translates as Msit No'kmaq ("Mm-sit Noh-goh-mah") which is one of the most meaningful phrases in the language.
Native spirituality demands that we recognize our place in the world around us, and never forget that we are surrounded by other beings who were created by the same supreme being that created us, and are just as deserving of life as we are.

Mi'kmaw Culture - Spirituality - Mi'kmaq Spirit

According to the Native American tribes of the Kiowa and Lakota, a group of girls went out to play and were spotted by several giant bears, who began to chase them. In an effort to escape the bears, the girls climbed atop a rock, fell to their knees, and prayed to the Great Spirit to save them. Hearing their prayers, the Great Spirit made the rock rise from the ground towards the heavens so that the bears could not reach the girls. The bears, in an effort to climb the rock, left deep claw marks in the sides, which had become too steep to climb. (Those are the marks which appear today on the sides of Devils Tower.) When the girls reached the sky, they were turned into the stars of the Pleiades.

Oh,I like that review where the person replaces the glass craft with a stainless one.I'm always tucking that glass one in my sleeping bag so it doesn't break during travel.That would be nicer,not having to worry about it.Toss the whole thing in the trunk (once it cools down enough) and run,without always worrying about it.

My brother in-law just took a photo trip to Colorado. These are the only ones he wasn't able to find.

He even got an experience of leaving a window open in his cabin and had a visit from a bear while he was out shooting pictures.

Science is getting there, in proving that we all are made from the same stock. Also with plants, we know now that trees do communicate with each other, they form families.
Don't know about the rocks tho

PS: this has nothing to do with Veganism and not even Vegetarianism

Back to coffee makers and trips.

How about a shot of a buffalo in Yellowstone enjoying the view.

After 3 times into Yellowstone with people (foreign and domestic) losing thier minds over animals it's time to get out of here.

layover spot for the night on the way to the next spot. Free nf campground near Ashland, MT and no one in it.
