This was one of those runs that makes you not able to sleep the night before. knowing the next day would be full of sheer awsomeness. i left my place around 8:00am, the sun was shining and the tires were humming. you can usualy tell what kind of day it will be by how the morning looks. what do you think.

I met up with nick(88manche) around exit 57 off 26 out by helvatia. Stoped at the shell in gales creek to top off and see if anyone else stoped in. As we were about ready to pull out, i seen a blatant display of too much money syndrome.

MY TURN!!
Okay, first I'll share the video. Oh, I only have one so far. Well, this took all yesterday evening/night to compress from 51 minutes to one and half so the rest of the videos are gonna have to wait a few days. SORRY...

Fixing Rod's Jeep. For Terry's sake, I didn't put in any audio. YET, maybe I'll save that for a rainy day


Alright, we ran Powerline first
