no plans right now. back still acts up ... but slade sure knew i was there. man o man thoes were the day. brad, me, bommie, monterio dan. i know one winter i went almost every weekend somewhere. got to be know for wheelin in the winter in lofers. ( shoes that is ). can,t say enough about the great !!!! sport and comradery of offroading.. remember one time i came out of the woods back to the camping area and i hit the creek too fast and hydrolocked the motor in the yota. pulled out the plugs turned over the motor and jumped out ( not thinking about no compression ) back in the creek the yota went. i waded out into the water and turned around and said, ( come on in boys, the water is fine ) had a crowd watchin me. felt as dumb as it probly looked.. but lookin back it was a blast.

Agreed Brother... The BEST of times... I miss those days, casually finding a friend in a nearly un-accessible location, with the knowledge, skill, and/or willpower to fix what is wrong with whomever/whatever had an ailment...

To this day I have the electric fan that you brought me (via the emergency phone a friend activity) for a quick trail fix... Works just fine...
