    Very cool pix! Yeah, the high fiving was for being the first one up without using the strap. The “again and again hil”l obstacle looks easy on film but in reality it was one of the most difficult obstacle on the trip. It was like trying to climb a small cliff surrounded by powered sugar, even the FJ was having trouble. That hill was so bad by the time Justin got to it he would still be there if it wasn’t for the Adams Family Crawler.

    I am working on the pics. Slowly making my way across country still. I am in Dayton, Oh right now, no trailer problems...
    My uncle in law is looking into making me an aluminum flatbed car hauler, that would save quite a bit in gas, so next year is a possibility.
    I have all of Brandon's pics on my laptop, just gotta have a chance to upload them and get them posted.

    I would like to give a shout out to a few of the great people I met out there, as a NUB, it was a very eye opening experience:
    Thanks to Billy, an amazing spotter, Tom, for being awesome, Steve and Todd, for being great trail leaders, Rodeo Dave, for being entertaining, Jack for making sure that I was not the youngest VXer there..., Trooper Mike, for not quitting and making the run up to Top of the World with me. I know there were others, and it was great meeting all of you. I will post up pics and stories in a few days when I finally make it to Charleston...

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

    No Chris think one picture says it all. Was good to meet you, hope we can both make it next year. If so, I will be more prepared.
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    Sample of my 300+ pics

    Okay folks, sorry for the delay in photos. We just got home last night and we are pooped! I have been uploading photos all day and trying to pick which ones to post. I will post a link to the full gallery of photos on photobucket later. If you want any specific high res ones, let me know. I will email them to you. Well here is my photo documentaion of our trip one post at a time...

    Greg made me miss my Proton the entire road trip.



    Our detour through the Loveland Pass



    Kahlua's first water encounter (She loved it!)



    Steve's (BigSwede) awesome ride.



    We made it! Ahhh HOME...
