Here are my 2 cents.. Me and my friend have been pretty egoistic pictures-wise (as well as on the trail, always forgetting to care of the car behind us - sorry, promise to learn!)
Made it home successfully, 25 hours on non-stop driving of which I did 20, no problems at all and zero oil burn
Anyway, here are my nominees for the next year's calendar!
p.s. Personal thank you to Crager34 for recommending me that 4x4 trail in Needles district - perfect difficulty for a rookie such as myself, and a terrific view in the end!!
