So it begins Michigan to the Mexico border to Alaska and back. Three JLUR and campers.

Traveling with two women…. And they see a sign that says Waco Texas….. fuck you know what we got dragged to. At least there was a cool Jeep there.

Shiplap. Did you see the shiplap?

If you need good coffee in Waco, hit up Common Grounds - it's right there on the edge of Baylor's campus, right off the freeway. Good stuff.

PLEASE tell me that on your way down there you stopped in West, TX for kolaches?!

Also, welcome to my fine state! Enjoy the drive.

Stop in Temple at Cheeves Bros. Steakhouse for a fantastic steak dinner if your wallet is too heavy, filet w/ merlot reduction, blackened seafood fondue. Thumbs up to Common Grounds and Schmaltz's Sandwich Shop in Waco.

Had a great day of wheeling at Hidden Falls in Texas and hiking Enchanted Rock. Met two great people today. David a guy from Facebook was our tour guide at the park and showed us a great time. Fellow Jlwrangler member met up with us to wheel and then was our tour guide for the hike at Enchanted Rock. What a kick ass day it was.

Had a great night of camping

The wheeling at Hidden Falls was a great mixture of technical trails mix wit great views.

took way better video but that will take a while to get to for the better stuff.
I would definitely wheel at Hidden Falls again.

Enchanted Rock was a nice mild hike and a welcome break from the Jeep. Bruce was an excellent guide and full of information.

What route are you taking north? The coast? Through the sierras? I know Moab is on the list but there are some great runs around the Tahoe Reno area...

Ted, are you running a set of Rancho XL's. If so how do you like them.

I am. I love them. I have 62,000 miles on them. This includes 28,000 miles while towing a camper. Every person that has rode in my Jeep always says they can’t believe how smooth my jeep rides. I would 100% buy them again.

It depends on when Bill’s girlfriend joins us. We will head up to Glacier National Park from Colorado,. If she joins us at Glacier, we will head west and go clockwise to Alaska and back. If she meets us in Alaska, we will go counterclockwise. So we would be in your area in July or maybe October.

When my JLR stock and blew a seal, I had a temporary set on the back. A used pair off my Ramm35004x4 that was the same length and bolt up. I was very surprised how well I liked them on #4/5 and may try a set. I think they have a lifetime warranty? Who does that, haha

Really enjoying following your trip. Thanks for sharing.
Are the Rancho "XL"s the 9000-number ones? Other than a front bumper and winch, I have a bone stock JLUR for now, but when the time comes to replace the tires going to plan on getting some 35 KO2s and probably a 2" lift. The Rancho kits seem very affordable compared to others and have read good things about them. Are you running their whole lift kit or just shocks?
Thanks, Adam

It was a beautiful hill country day; all the more due to the good people on Ted's team. Thank you for leading all through Hidden Falls well Ted–

Team photos and Dave

Ted is a kind of a back seat driver; his better half drives while he directs–

Dave showed us all the trail choices at Hidden Falls;
In life and on the trail, he just kind of floats over everything in his path–

Ted and his team (they are more like family) are certainly adventure abound—

Definitely jealous of your trip. We have a similar idea for once I hang up the uniform and kids are off to college. 16 years to go

First night on north Padre Islands. This morning the winds are harsh, but we have life things to do today. Groceries, laundry and such.

the photos are from yesterday afternoon into the night.


It was relaxing after a 4 1/2 hour drive.

Camp set up is easy for us.

The moon lit the sky up last night.

Sun setting over the dune made for some nice views.
