Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
Yeah, that would have sucked to be stranded out there with no food and beer joint. I know the feeling. You know you are remote when your mind gets so bare bones practical.

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
I lived in Coalstrip MT when I was young. I have always wanted to go back and take my family to that area but the closest we have made it is Colorado.

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
I've been showing my wife your posts. She's in love with that part of the country.
What app are you using to post your photos?

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast
Yes. It is very pretty out here
I don't use an ap on the pics I just take them, then load them up thru "Mange attachments" from my camera roll I wanted to be able to load more at one time, But never figured out how to do it Which kind of made me be more selective of, What I was posting, and Also be more descriptive |
