Looks like fun. I'd like to see some pics of that '77-'79 4x4 in the background. That's always been one of my favorite body styles.

Last time I was there it was, but the pot holes seemed better though... still scared to take the bike down there anyhow. Hey Frank, I have some video of your truck the other day, that last run you made when you backed out of it about half track, it looked wild leaving the line on that pass. the front tires came off the ground about 4 times!
