Ok, so I figured out how to reduce some of my newer pictures even more than before, but there are still some that I can't get smaller, and they still won't load, but I'll keep working on it.
In the mean time, I'll post a few more "stuck" pictures, then move onto other things.

But, then not having one makes trying to carry everything I might need an issue. And worse, is trying to haul everything home if you've had a good day on the line. But, with careful measurments when making a cargo box on the back, it's surprising how much a person can haul with no cargo sled, if you have to,...

But no matter what, watch what you're doing so you don't run over things like this and get them jammed up in your track,.. like I kinda did here, since it was 99% buried in the trail.
