We took a very fast trip to Denver to see Kate and Mark get married right next to Union Station.
Rapid dress bustling before the reception and after the ceremony.

For the big super moon, we headed up Yankee Hill with some friends from Rising Sun 4×4 Club. The view from the top of Yankee Hill is wonderful. The lights in the distance are Denver.
A few of the rigs that came along for the ride. Some big mountains loom off in the distance.
There’s that supermoon starting to rise!
It was a big, full moon.
All of the rigs lined up in the night with the big moon rising.

When I turn on all of the lights on my truck, I light up the night!
And for those who want to ride along, here’s a video of the night.
After having the Albino Rhino for about a year, I decided it was time to install a front hitch receiver and a winch plate. My last truck, Goldilocks, had a bumper that was already setup for such things but this truck’s front bumper was never built to have a winch nor did it have a good recovery point.
My buddy Travis who pilots The Honey Badger helped me fab up what we needed for the Albino Rhino. He’s a really good fabricator.
Here’s the business side of the setup to have a front receiver and a winch plate.
Here’s the fully finished setup minus my hi-lift jack and a few wires needing to be tidied up. The setup works very well. I’ve winched a few vehicles out of difficult places with zero problems. Thanks for all the help, Travis! And thanks other Travis for letting us use your garage!
