If the "lady" was picking up her teeth out of the gutter like Chiclets, she would be a bit more circumspect about her comments.

Many if not most women know that a man won't resort to anything close to that, in fact they depend on it. There is no requirement to be polite though, the aggressor always sets the terms of engagement.

A lot of the people (males) generally acting goofy these days have never even been in a fight, and that's actually part of the problem I think. They are free to be idiots without any consequence, when in the good old days a thoroughTune-Up now and then would have gone a long ways to help them get their mind right.

Many protesters are not smart enough to understand what they are actually even protesting for.
Nor do they think far enough ahead, to realize if they block a road, destroy property, hurt people, they are making people who once might have supported them, now hate them.

Some days I'd love to have an adventure like with with a close friend or relative. Low maintenance travel, a lifetime of stories, a chance to meet so many down-to-earth folks. Maybe this is only for movie stars?

Well my friend some of lower middle income folks have that already. And we are trying to get a few for our next adventure. It is the Hole In The Rock trail in Utah. Folks sleep on or near the trail most nights. Some in tents, some in vehicles, and even a few just out in the open on the ground or a cot. Bring our own food and drinks. Visit remote locations and see stuff only a few get to see. No towns, lights, billboards, and sometimes no cell or radio service. I took guy in his 70's at the time out SW of Hanksville. After a few days we were setting buy the fire and he said he was starting to remember things in his past youth he hadn't thought of for longer than he could remember. I explained it was the lack of "niose". All the stuff we get hittling us back in our regular life, Radeo, tv, billboards, phones and such. That noise was gone and let those memories come out. Man am I a lucky guy to have all those memories. Yup, pure escapism. If you'd like to try it let us know. After you get enough experience at it some folks go out on there own. There are web sites for it. Expedition Colorado, Utah, and such. Most times we go to town for supplies and showers or if we need some thing. Sometimes folks stay in town and just join us out on the trail.

Shinning times for sure. Your links aren't coming through for me. But I remember going up Hotel Rock trail. That was the first time I did that trail all the way through that direction. My other times all the way through were reverse the way we went. The campfire in Comb Wash. Lots more to do down that way. Even some over by the Uranium plant if ya wana glow in the dark. Used ta be an old missle test site up above the plant. Sundance and I poked around up there a bit.

This was another trip going the other way. Back side of the big rock, and front side.

I remember that camping place. Was that where we saw the moose cow and calf on the other side of the beaver pond?
