i fell in love again

with the wife being in Nor-Cal and me in Vegas, i take the trip up there every 2 weeks. i try to take a different route each time so i dont get board. wll this time i took ll back highway roads and man what a trip. well i tooka fw pics but i just attached a few to get started. two are near big pine. after we came thru the white mountains it was a nice break from the twistys so we stopped let the brakes cool nd took some picks and threw a ball around. then went on to the tioga pass and yosemite nat park (was dark but still fun) and finally into livingston ca for the night. i drove up to red bluff ca today and will head back to vegas on monday. man what a trip and the truck ran awesome. the eibach set up with teh drop and dampers were a dream. ithink the rear needs a sway bar. best of all, i got 19 MPG for the whole trip. dont have the numbers in front of me but the quick math said 19.1 but the truck said 19. i cant believe it. edge on lvl 3 and 91 octane is a great match!! anyway sorry for being longwnded but what a trip. made me love this truck that much more.
