HINT: I wold butter my bread and grill it in the pan before I started cooking my eggs. I would put the toast in a GI cup with a lid and set it on my stove while I cooked the eggs, sausage, etc. It would be hot when everything else was ready. If you do not like butter, then grill it without it. HINT 2: One pan spagetti, cook your meat in the pan and drain the water/grease off, add your prego or Hunt's, etc. sauce and bring to a simmer. Put your noodles in, I use elbows as there are easy to carry and to eat with a spoon. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes or when noodles are soft. Keep up the videos, you are one of the best on line!

Palm canyon used to have a lot of palms in it. A fire took most of them. I haven’t been there since about 1994 and watching you hike that brings fond memories. You missed the best parts of Kofa. All the old mines. Also all the water tanks. Natural tanks. The miners build small dams to collect water so they could stay for extended periods. I love that place. In fact I found your channel while doing some research preparing for a trip there this winter. People from another state or even natives underestimate the size of Kofa. Bringing plenty of water can not be underestimated. If you are lucky you may run into a old man of a mule dear with a very large rack. Or a heard of wild burrows. Or some big horn sheep. I’ve hunted those mountains many times but never got a dear. That’s because i chose not to shoot. Those animals have endured some of the harshest environment in the world. Their lives should not be taken by man.

Well I have caught up!. I have watched all your videos starting on March 2017, it took a little bit of time but it was worth it. What a trip! Your photography is so enjoyable. Part of the fun of the trip is watching you Jeep go through water and over rocks. I know it that takes a lot of work setting up the camera and then going back for it. I hope you will stay with the Jeep family when you replace that one. A new Jeep Pickup with a camper? I wish when I was your age I could have done what you are doing. Maybe I should know but I don't, What are the flags in your tent? As you would say- "This is Tuesday morning March 5th and I am at home waiting for Friday" Thanks for taking us with you have fun
