Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire On the road again.

Hindsight is always 20/20

Even John Coulter had to make multiple trips to see it all.

I'm just gonna have to settle for 500 miles across Texas to the NM State Line and then Lubbock.....

And then about 585 miles meandering around Montana. I did discover the Upper Missouri/Three Forks country is friggin' beautiful, gonna have to leave the rest until next time.

Sure beat the heck out of being at home all summer.....

Good deal mike. Heckuva trip!

At least you escaped the Rez with your scalp. 🤠

BW,

You got a bunch of sheit on this thread but not many guys could/would do what you did so a tip of the hat to you from me.

Hope you enjoyed your trip through Montana and Wyoming, you're a tough sumbitch in my book.

First day of school, ol BW as the campfire calls him.. eagerly waits for his new students. They all slowly start to file in some taking seats in the back. Ol BW recognizes some from last year. Finally school bell rings, BW takes roll, afterwards to break the silence he asks the students. What you do for summer break. One or two hands come up, they answer with went to Dallas or to the coast. Ol BW with a big a smile tells them well I rode my bike all the way to Montana..

What's that bumble stumble across Montana, and parts of Wyoming?

I bet that Indian Pawn Shop sees some interesting stuff come through the doors when the natives are running low on fire water...

You get to see a heck of a lot more walking or riding a bike then you do zooming by at 80MPH. Great Inspiration.

What do your pawn shops get when you cracker asses run low on cash for slim Jim's and cigarettes?

Still calling me a liar. I get that from a few here on the 'Fire, ain't used to it. I do stuff like that face to face.

Actually I got lucky getting waylaid at Lubbock, otherwise I woulda been around Casper maybe last week, maybe about now looking to go that way INTO Yellowstone.

A sixty mile steady climb to Sylvan Pass to the west with no services, coulda taken me three days, camping in the woods both nights en route. Instead with a tailwind I did that whole stretch coming down FROM the west in a single afternoon

Likewise climbing the hills north of Boulder MT, north of Ennis and north of Helena would all have been walk-and-push propositions instead of more gradual inclines climbing them from the direction I did.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for your next adventure thread.

BW has about 12 years on me and I don't think I'd be too interested in tackling what he did for various reasons but no doubt he showed some gumption and determination and there is merit in that in my opinion.

But hey, everybody has an opinion so if you don't agree no biggie to me.

I just don't understand the hate BW is getting, I thought it was a pretty cool trip with some good photos.

Hell you don't have to agree with the means and methods to appreciate the effort.

Yep. Good effort BW. I gotta give ya that. You've seen far more of this great country on a bike than I have in an automobile. So kudos and thanks for the pics.

Hey thanks but physically it ain't actually that hard, mostly its having the time to do it.

Fine jewelry, guns, big screen TV's... All stolen from the rich neighborhoods...

Cracker asses?

Just what race are you? Since you brought race into this discussion...

Ya I'll bet, appeared to be an old White guy running it, (the breakfast burrito shop was right next door, he was one of the customers), I'll bet he had some stories.

Looking at the signs out front, I bet he gets some real quality items through there.

I'd love to browse. But I bet there's not many bargains..

I'm pretty sure it was you.. for the record I'm half black and Chinese my name Leroy Zhang

I'm sure of that, and being how its so easy on/off the Interstate, like right there off the main Hardin exit, I'm sure it could be a frequent and easy stop for the collectors of such things.

Me, I ain't a collector, I'd be inclined to buy the old stuff, find a responsible family member and say "here, keep this safe, ol' Fuggnuts over there pawned it.." I would imagine the Pawn Shop owner hisself might have done as much on occasion.

Whatever you may think, you are wrong. I'm not making assumptions.

I KNOW.

Besides being married to a Native American, I lived next to enough of them on the rez to see and know what they do.

I've personally seen them run over like deer while passed out or crawling across highways while drunk.

I've seen them in the supermarket loading grocery baskets with beer and liquor at 6:30 am...

If you can point out which Indian nations don't have a problem with fire water, I'll happily listen.

And you didn't need to go to the gym.
