uh its a LONG ways from LA, its an hour north of the Bay Area. You should wait until summer, we will most likely do a Pismo trip or something and thats a lot closer.

San Jose, Ya keep me in the loop. If you guys ever want to get together for a day trip to hollister or something let me know. Hollister is a good place because it's got something for everyone. From hardcore to stocker rocker you can have fun.

The last one is how dirty it got just getting to camp. There were quite a few real gooey mudslides I had to get through, and then a ton of down trees I climbed over and good amount of snow.

can't wait for the end of the month now.

Why wont the pics show ? ? Ever since this site "moved" its been acting retarded.

Good lookin pics. you should see how bad my truck slides around in the mud with my bald@ss All Terrains. I can no longer keep a straight line most of the time, Its pathetic I slid off a levee road 2 weeks ago.

Thanks ! I wish I nabbed pics of the mud slide (always forget about the camera) but this chit was deep and gooey. I was getting sideways and had barely any traction. Luckily those sidewalls have some grip. I think thats what got me through at WOT moving maybe 2 MPH. It was fun, but now clean up begins..... boo.

So, Msal: still plannin on makin it up to Pills ?
