A Redleg's Rides

It's been an expensive last three months or so.

2026, it's turning out to be a year for many changes as forks in the road of life have become evident.

August 16 Martha and I left home for a short 4-5 camping trip in the Arapahoe National Forest National Recreation Area near the town of Grand Lake.

Part 3 of the 20th Anniversary Series of Posts.

Part 2: Yesterday, August 13, was the 20th anniversary of this blog.

Today is the 20th Anniversary of this blog Part 1: The last two decades have seemingly gone by in the blink of an eye, that's a cliche but there you go.

Saturday, August 8 Saturdays are definitely the busy time here on Rampart Range Road.

It's been quite hazy here in the stoner state, due to wildfires both in state and without.

Finally got Uma, the VRRV's most pressing issues repaired.

Colorado, as a state, turns 150 years old today.

I've got to be more thorough when it comes to examination of my tires on the VRRV.

I'd been suspecting slight slippage on the clutch of my TW200.

I was awake at 5AM, previous experience said it was probably not worth it to try and get more sleep, so up I went for some coffee.

Umarang, or Uma the VRRV, was retrieved from the mechanic shop this afternoon.

About two days ago I got the word from Randy F.

Last month I had learned that the starting issues on Yagi, my TW200, boiled down to a bad battery not providing enough power to start the motorcycle.

Wednesday, July 1 As part of the house battery short-circuit debacle, the RV had lost the ability to be charging its house battery while the engine was running on the chassis.

June 29 The last day of this last trip by us via motorhome to the eastern half of the country!

We got an early start to the day today, leaving the Missouri Conservation Dept's Boat Ramp/campsite at Roberts Bluff, Missouri at 0615 hours.

Due to foggy conditions we weren't able to leave the Richards farm HH until almost 8:00 a.m..

We didn't leave the Blueberry Patch Harvest Host until almost 9:00 a.m. this morning, the rest of the day was spent driving towards and then on Interstate 70 and it's many instances of construction delays.

We drove down to Mansfield, OH to the Ford dealership from Martha's sister's home in Brownstown, MI.

June 18-24 We would hang out at Martha's sister's home in Brownstown, MI.

Tuesday, June 16 There we were, motoring along southbound Interstate 71 in Ohio, heading for a Harvest Host location for the night.

We left the Saxtons Distillery Harvest Host just before 7AM and made it to the Pennsylvania border at 940 AM.
