The offroad playground most of my pics are taken at is in Hungry Valley State Park in Gorman, CA. Thanks for looking!

That's awesome Ryan... thank you very much for your service. How is it over there? Is there a lot of violence still? I wish I could put my truck away from the winter lol... someday. Although I nearly hit a deer yesterday morning. Ran right at my truck and I don't know how the heck I stopped. I saw it slowed down then it came at me and ran in front of my bumper. Missed it by inches (literally). Scary to say the least. I'm sure you experience stuff like that up in Alaska. Pics would be awesome of that '53 project, nothing like classic trucks!

Take care,

John

Ryan, nice to hear from you! School is busy and I work two jobs (got my class B cdl which is nice - I drive a bus at my school and now am a student manager for part of the operation). Just a lot going on, but doing pretty well over all. I took the truck up to Maine for a nice vacation this summer to see my Grandpa and then went a few weeks a ago to the NASCAR race in Louden, NH with a buddy. It was a blast! How are you? Truck looks good in your pics! Have you taken any new trips?

John

Ryan,
I can't believe you have not installed the wheels yet. I'm glad to hear everything is going great for you and yours. You must send me some picture of the '53 when it is finished. My truck just turned 12,000 miles. It just shows that when I have less than 1/2 miles to work and walking is nicer when we have good weather I don't put a lot of miles on her.

I don't know about another road trip in the near future and that is because I am planing on a trip to Venice, Italy next spring. I have always wanted to visit that glorious city and if I don't do it now I probably will never do it. I'm turning into a regular globe trotter.

As far as job availability, there always positions available at UCC. The following is from an email that came out today.

Hello,
Its been a long time since ive been on this site. Looks like you too. Hope all is well.

Matt

Ryan,
It's good to hear from you. Since it has only taken you 25 years to install your CAI and TBS, how long will it take to put on the new wheels??? All is fine with me, plus I'm planing another trip. Post some images when you get a chance... Keep an even keel.

Ryan,
Got home yesterday... Looking forward meeting you guys in August... Your letter arrived sometime this past week... I spent most of the day working in the yard and cleaning my truck... I still have another week of vacation... I need to check out all of the images I took, about 800... The trip was fantastic, I spent a great deal of time hiking and seeing things that most people do not get to see from the road... I also took a 50 mile off road expedition with my rig just East of Mexican Hat... That was a real interesting trek... It took me eight hours... I just loved the isolation...

By the way I have something new for my truck... Not only do I have my lap top but I just received my 64 GB iPad wifi 3G... I will be getting a different rest for my RAM Mount so I can set it up...

Later...
