Expedition Modded Jeeps - Let's see 'em!!
On this subject, folks camping in West should add pepper spray to their pack list. Unless you really know how to hunt bear, forget the handgun, it's little use in panicked hands.

No, no problem at all. LOL at what has transpired since. I've been back to OOT and this time we did plan to use the gas station, and even used the cafe because we could hear a thunderstorm was headed in and decided, knowing they were just a few miles away, that it would be better to weather the weather in a cafe instead of in the field we were camped in. Also, that part about the GPS having a gas station that was missing: On the Big Bend trip I just returned from we learned that the only gas station in Marathon, TX had burned down a few weeks ago. You better not be empty if you arrive in Marathon right now!
And, finally, let me post up a few pics of just the local area because this recent spate of icy weather has presented some unusual opportunities to get some photos. But, before doing that, let me emphasize that the primary reason I got a Jeep was to get me to places to shoot photos. I don't want terrain, or weather, to stop me. So, with that intro, I was delighted that when the ice storm hit a few days ago I had my Jeep to get me out (even though it turned out the roads were actually in quite good shape). Here are some pictures I shot ...

This is from quite a few pages back, but I saw this as I was trying to get through this ENORMOUS thread........
Did anyone notice what looks like a little "angel" in praying mode towards the left of the photo? crazyness!!!
Nice shots as usual Mark! Your videos and photos are helping me pass the time at work nicely!
Hmmm.......... I think it's quite obvious now that I am an idiot. Upon closer inspection, it looks as though it is in fact a little angel. Was this a tombstone ornament? I thought at first the dripping water had formed an ice miracle.
My apologies!!
My apologies!!
I'm figuring I'll be good. I'm looking at getting a popup to haul and maxed out it will be about 2,800 lbs. I just have too much living cargo to go full on expedition mode yet. I'll have to get a 7 pin connection and a brake controller installed which I'm thinking from what I've read isn't a huge deal. But I might just let the dealership put it in to be safe. I did get my Tuffy security enclosure installed today. I really like that it doubles my cargo space, is secure and fits perfectly in the trunk.
Thanks in advance
Yea I guess its an ornament. That's the memorial for the OKC bombing.
These were taken at night with a cell phone so they aren't superb. I can take some more when I get a chance. I agree the photos online are not enough. I got this from 4WD.com. Great price and free shipping. It weighs 60 lbs all put together.
