Ok Pa Pitt’s Bronco out in New Mexico while on hunting trip years ago.
I spend most of my time over on the Off Topic section of the Classic .. As you can see I've got 11200 post .. & None of the Off Topic count.. But when I stumbled onto pictures of my Bronco ... I though there are an entire new Crowd on the Classic & Most probably don't even Know who i am.. Just another old Fart ''74'' ..
MY Bronco is a 1972 It's now a 4BT Cummins .. 4 speed NP435 Dana 20 with twin sticks . 3:55 lockers F&R . THE BLACK TRIM IS BLACK BED IINER . & The Camo is a Camo Clad plastic skin.. It had a 5 year warranty & Has lasted about 18+ years .. Now it's has faded the last 4 years or so.& It's been setting outside lately.
... We had a Place in New Mexico we went hunting for 25 years. Man we loved that place.. 50,000ac. & Several years my buddy & I were the only 2 people on it for 5 days. We camped at about 4500Ft & MOSTLY DROVE UP on top of the mesa. FLAT TOP WAS 7500FT . iT HAD THE DESERT MULE DEER on it .. Over the years we saw Eagles , Spotted Owl, WOLVES & COYOTE, Mountain Lion . Aoudad / Barbary sheep. Elk one time . 5 old late 1800 home sights ... & An old Buffalo wallow that covered about 10ac.. Quite a sight.
But the old man Passed away & We don't get to go any longer..
Middle picture is me using spotting scope Looking over some Wild Country . 3 picture Is me With my late son's hat on. H.D. is under my profile. He was a cowboy on a ranch in Santa Rosa in around 1995+&-.. 1st picture is just me clowning around Because there were so many Hanoi Jane Castus .. out there... That was a name we gave those Castus .. Our Cry was Kill Jane. as we drove around in the pastures .. SO Many castus you were mashing one every 10 ft it seemed.
.... We always went on Thursday night before Thanksgiving & Came home early on Wednesday morning .. It was a 555 mile trip both ways. My Diesel 1999 Dodge D250 AUTO HAUL TRUCK . pULLED UP HIL & LOADED GOING OUT THERE got 8+ MPG .. COMING HOME DOWN HILL & UNLOADED i MOSTLY GOT ABOUT 11.5. we pulled a 32ft flat bed trailer & and an old pickup bed camper mounted on front of trailer .. GEAR & TOOLS Stacked in the Jacks & Fuel & Spare Tires in the center. & Either My Bronco or my hunting Buddies Bronco mounted on the rear section of the trailer.. . Truck & TRAILER both used the same spares so we carried 4 for that. & 3 for our Broncos.
One day as we were rolling along at about 4 or 5 miles per hour .. Talking old Guy stuff... We both had the same thought.... AS WE Looked at each other .. We ASK are we Hunting are OR WE Wheeling / Rock Crawling in our Bronco. That old place Had several rock slopes to 4x4 Up over some great Rock avgering about 2 ft rises. & THOSE WERE ABOUT 400 YARDS SLOW climb to another plato. Dang it was fun. & Then there were some CREEKS Or gulleys to cross. & Since we were about 50 miles from town or anyone were knew could help us.. There were some place we choose not to go.. Just that What IF ... iT Got really cold at night out there... We wanted to be back in the camper at night..
Night time was STAR Gazing & Listing to the Coyotes singing to us. & We'd found a great place fo camp on a sand Delta bar....SO WE COULD HAVE A FIRE EVERY NIGHT until the cold ran us inside.. Yes This would be the week we'd be out there ...
Hope we can find another place to go hunt Maybe in Texas so the drive is not so far... But there never be another Free 50K in NM.
