The Caney river in SE Kansas. Looks a lot better with green IMHO. This old, stone railroad bridge built in the late 1800’s is nearby. Lots of cool spots in this area. If you decide to do the TransAmerica Trail, you might consider a detour into Kansas instead of the section going through the NE part of Oklahoma.

I know the area well. Lived in KC for many years (now in South Carolina, boy do I miss KC) Nice Pics!

I can remember when I was a small boy my dad taking me to Reno to visit his parents and the wall of snow in the parking lot for the rest area at Donner summit had to be 20 feet high.

I'm hoping we get another couple of weeks of this after the high pressure passes by that is moving in today.

A spiral staircase carved from one a tree from y.1851, a library at Lednice Castle, Czech Republic. On the wall hangs a winged altar of ivory and rosewood with the pedigree of Jesus Christ.

Beyond amazing. Hell, I can't even draw a stick man. Work of art doesn't begin to describe this.

There is a winding wooden staircase in a Chapel in Santa Fe, NM. I've seen it.

The design was innovative for the time and some of the design considerations still perplex experts today.

When the Loretto Chapel was completed in 1878, there was no way to access the choir loft twenty-two feet above. Carpenters were called in to address the problem, but they all concluded access to the loft would have to be via ladder as a staircase would interfere with the interior space of the small Chapel.

Legend says that to find a solution to the seating problem, nine days of prayer commenced and on that ninth day a man appeared at the Chapel with a donkey and a toolbox looking for work. Months later, the elegant circular staircase was completed, and the carpenter disappeared without pay or thanks.

Inspiring!

Here's a pic of the 1975 Honda CB 360t I just finished a complete restore on. I thought about carrying it in my 2020 Ranger XLT off road, to Vintage Honda get togethers but maybe best just to get a trailer smaller than the dovetail I have now. If there are any motorcycle trailers for sale, let me know.
I've got an yt vid of me finally getting to try and start it after a couple of years working on it by hand. It started....COOL. Also, a couple of pictures of my 2020 ranger. I'm going to take a pic with it and my 2001 ranger when I get the time.

Ha, excellent job! I remember back in the seventies when I was in university I borrowed one the same (well almost the same, his was gold) from a classmate to ride over to the other side of town to pick up an oil pump for my Kawasaki 500 two stroke I rode at the time.
Came back with the pump thanked him, and handed back the keys. And then he said "how'd you find the bike" I said engine is sweet, but it handles kind of funny" - and that's coming from a Kawasaki owner.
Then he told me how he'd bought it cheap because it had been in an accident and they'd never been able to get the frame alignment quite straight !

The joys of surf beaches in Australia. At least this far south you don't have to worry about box jellyfish, and crocodiles, as well.
But the sharks are real, several people were attacked around or near there last year.
It's a favorite camp ground for us in New South Wales about 4 hours drive south of where we live, its always quiet and pleasant.
There is an extensive lagoon system behind the beach and campground where my wife and I love to go kayaking and fishing.
Finaly I managed to upload the beach itself - it didn't want to upload when I posted this the other day - just on dawn when I went for an early morning walk. No sharks so far!

Just so you know…I’m saving this for future ammunition.
