Traveling around the Western United States and wheeling is at the top of the list of ways to spend time and money. Snoop around, find something that interests you and click on it, you may be surprised. Most of these links have stories that go with them along with the photos. Also click on the titles, links point off to many other " interesting " places.   Have fun.

Moab, Utah This is my favorite place to wheel, by far. The first visit to Moab was in the late 70's (yup, when the Atlas mill was in full operation and you could still drive on the old Dewey bridge over the Colorado River). Since then we've been back just about every year and in 1993 started attending the Easter Jeep Safari sponsored by the Red Rock 4 Wheelers . 2008 - The Easter Jeep Safari and more 2007 - Fun in the Spring and now Fun in the Fall 2006 - Moab, Deja Vu Again and Again 2006 - 20+ Days Going Topless 2005 - Rain, Snow, Ground Zero, Speed Goats and Buddy Holly 2004 - The Safari and San Juan County 2003 - 2 weeks: " I've fallen and can't get up.

Dakota Territory Challenge The Dakota Challenge is another favorite event. Once again, the Black Hills have been a favorite vacation spot. The first trip here was in 1971 and in the late 80s we made it out to Sturgis bike week. What a kick! In 1995 we started attending the Challenge. The Black Hills 4 Wheelers are a great group and each year is more fun than the year before. 2005,2006: Sadly I missed these years and may have to wait a couple more until retirement before going out there again and entertaining the good crew from the Black Hills 4 Wheelers. 2004 - DTC2004 and North by Northwest 2003 - The Boyz from Illinoiz breakz their Toyz 2002 - Axlemania 2001 - Kong, Twisted, T-Back and Hal Johns 2000 - Dakota Challenge (at Moab) 1999 - 5 days of trails with the " Boyz from Illinoiz " 1998 - Twisted, Kong, Rodeo and more 1997 - Full Size, Iceman and hail on Rodeo 1996 - Trashed locker, got the handle " Woodpecker " 1995 - A pre-run with the Black Hills 4 Wheelers

Pittsfield, IL Pittsfield is where we do our local wheeling and is the home of Two Rivers Jeep Club. While Pittsfield doesn't have the rocks and wide open spaces of the west, it does provide some of the finest wheeling in the midwest. What makes Pittsfield outstanding, however, are the people. I doubt there is a nicer community to be found. In fact, if we were ever to retire in Illinois, Pittsfield would be the place. 2002 - Under construction (yeah, I know, it's WAY overdue!!!) 2001 - Seating a tire with ether (photo and mpg), events and more 2000 - My first endo and roll, picnic and 4x4Blast 1999 - Picnic, submarines, and lots of fun 1998 - Water, mud and picnics 1997 - Air, water and carnage 1996 - Snow, rolls and trail building 1995 - Mud and water and changing an axle 1994 - 1993 - Pittsfield and other locations

New Mexico 1998 was my first trip to Las Cruces . It was a loooong drive down and back, especially with collapsed rear springs on the motorhome. I-40 is NOT smooth! Las Cruces was a lot of fun, did some really kick-ass trails.   In 2001 had an opportunity to attend the UFWDA convention in Farmington and some of the guys took us out on a   few of the ARCA (RCAA) trails.
