New video's live, and this one stuck with me: https://youtu.be/dTZSe9_HTM0

Back in 1879, a group of pioneers was asked to do something that still doesn't seem possible, leave everything behind and build a wagon road through some of the most unforgiving country in the West. 250 people, 83 wagons, and a trip they figured would take six weeks. It took them six months.

I took the Jeep and ST5 down the Hole in the Rock trail outside Escalante, Utah, to retrace part of that route myself, washboard, slickrock, shelf roads, and a whole lot of respect for the folks who did it the hard way, with no road at all.

It ended in a way I wasn't expecting, standing in front of one of those old wagons. I won't spoil it.

Go give it a watch. And tell me honestly: could you have made that trek in 1879?

Memorial Day always brings me back to CE3 Charles Komppa, who served with my unit in Fallujah and was killed in action on October 25, 2006. I wear this black band in his honor. Today is for him, and for the families and fellow Seabees still carrying the weight of that loss.
