    Not sure...It is a long drive for sure. After my first and only trip in 2005, I talked it up with the Georgia and Flordia Hall of Fame VXers Cryk, Johnney Apollo, and Joe Black and told 'em how I met the west coast Hall of Fame VXers Swordy, Grandpa Bob, Todd Adams, Biju (altho Biju you were just new then) (but now are up there with the heavy hitters) Moncha, billy oliver (triathlete), the texan group Larry (Legemon), Tone, VX girl, and what his name (sorry). I feel lucky to have met both coasts and Texas. Now, I know Colorado isn't west coast but it seems so far from here I'm loosely calling it that. All that being said, Joe got excited and mentioned a big trailer that he could put 3 or 4 VXs on and we'd tow them out there. It never happened (yet). Maybe Joe will read this and get re-excited. It's worth going Joe.

    Anyway, no plans this year.

    Congrats Don!
    I knew you had some special skills when I met you at Moab a couple of years ago. If you remember when we were 4x4ing, I would try to get behind your VX so I could look at which line you would take. You helped me out a great deal without you knowing about it. You will make a fantastic instructor.
    Peace.
    Tom

    P.S.
    and what his name (sorry).........uh, that would be me.LOL
