Got home late Sat. afternoon, awesome week, beyond words!! I especially want to say a very special thank you to the many folks that helped me throughout the week, kept me from falling and such, it really meant a lot to me. This is a terrific group!! And Dub, man, those chocolate monkees were awesome, as always!..hummm. maybe the 151 rum could have contributed to my walking difficulties?
Billy ya got some really bad timin' there on that pic!Glad you only mentioned Jo!
And yes, PK, as a matter of fact, that is my rack! It held my spare quite nicely, especially with my custom ratchet strap in black with purple paw prints! (Well, OK, I also had the Yakima spare tire carrier holding it securely). And Tom (aka Rodney Dangerfield), yes, I know yer innocent on this one....it's pure PK!
And another thing PK, in yer honor, while sitting at the "stoop", Lisa (VX Crazy) was comparing.....um....er...um...rack sizes between her and I.....somehow yer name came up......well, we were a bit drunk when that happened!
You'd a loved it though!
Here's a few pics, have more to come tomorrow from Dave's camera (we even let that blindingly bright yellow FJ come with us on Thursday on Fins -N-Things.) I listed some details/comments on the pics in my gallery. Most of these are from Top of The World on Tuesday, which was the formerly known as "VX-only" run and can be done by a stock VX (although bigger tires does help a lot!). An amazingly beautiful trail, and not boring by any stretch, despite what Marlin said about it! Remember Chris, different strokes....not everybody wants or can handle a ton of carnage & broken CVs.
Lining up at the Portal campsite ready to head out to Top of the World: We had about 18 VXs, 2 or 3 Troopers, 1 FJ, 1 4Runner.
