Here, but occasionally There.
My brother and I took a trip down to the ranch early this morning. We took my new 5th wheel down and got it set up so I can have a nice place to rest my tired old body.....here are a few pic's...I'm lucky that my brother has a new dodge 3/4 ton diesel Ram to move it with....thanks bro...!!!

I don't know what size the RV is nor how much it weighs when it is being moved, but a 3/4 ton may not be big enough truck to safely move the DRV's. Ours is a 38 1/2-footer and weighs in at 18,500 lbs "loaded," and I wouldn't even attempt to move ours with anything less than an F350/3500 series pickup. In our case, we have a Ford F450 for towing.

Well it won't be moving any more unless it need serious repairs.....My brothers 3/4 ton Ram did ok on the 110 mile trip.
He has a 42 foot 5th wheel that he travels with....he just returned from a 4 week trip up the east coast to Canada for a total of 5,000 miles and no issues. I'm sure a heavier Ram would be better but this one did ok today.

That is super nice Hodrod. You will be staying in luxury down on the ranch now.

Didn't know who to message about this, my apologies. But here's a spam from this user. FYI.

They know about the spam PM's from that user. You see the small bell in lower left corner of message and "report"? Click that and it will allow a report to made to the moderators.
Did not know that. Thanks for the information, I'll promptly do that next time.

Drove to the Dinosaur National Monument today near Vernal Utah.
Very impressive wall of dinosaur bones.
Apparently 65 million years ago there was a huge flood in this canyon that was full of them.
They drowned, bodies washed downstream and created a log jam of dead dinos that was covered in sediment to create this wall.
the pics don’t do justice to the display that is a block long and two stories high.

Also drove the Sheep’s Bend Geological loop at the South end of Flaming Gorge. Amazing scenery.
