I didn't even see this post when I first scrolled through the 97? new posts that accumulated while in Moab...sheesh, c'mon you guys (& dolls), yer gonna give me a massive melon.

Reading this made my poor & VERY road weary man self laugh & cry all at the same time. Thank You !

Seriously, you all are too much, a finer group of friends is not in the realm of possibility. After last year, I couldn't imagine having more fun...but I was wrong again.

Jim & I made it home (to my place) about 6:00 pm & he's got another hour + to go.
We had a relatively incedent free journey, highlighted by a broken alternator belt on Jim's Troop somewhere in Colo. or Wyo.
Of course it was raining & the sky was threatening to strike us both down dead with lightning bolts, but we "endeavored to persevere" & got it together.
Note to EVERYONE...don't leave home without spare belts, hoses, heater hose & vacuum hoses...very cheap insurance.
I'll post pics & stuff later or in the coming days, right now I've gotta call & see if Jim made it home OK.

I can't believe how lucky I am to have a group like you all to call my friends.
( And no, that's NOT the second beer talkin'! )
