    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    That would be the place! Somtimes when I'm standing at the precipice at the top of the mountain, I imagine what it would have been like standing at that spot 12,000 years ago during one of those colossal floods. Even though the top of the mountan is ~1800' above Crab Creek below, the water, rushing at 50 MPH would have been only a few hundred feet below.

    Fun in the sand, good authentic Mexican food (Matawa on the south slope of the mountain), and a lesson in ancient geologic cataclysms... how can we go wrong

    Sounds like fun! If I can get my rear end swap done in time count me in. I'll RSVP when I know for sure.

    Thanks, Jo.

    Hey Travelin', what happened to your diff? Mine started making noise at ~110K miles. I replaced it with one from a Minnesota wrecking lot, but it still whines some.

    I drive thru Montesano several times/year, usually have breakfast at the Beehive.

    Baxman; I just bought the rig recently and it had been in an accident with the original owner. The rear axle housing was bent and straightened. I just want to make it right. I'm heading out for razor clams early tomorrow then I'll get back on the VX project.
