Good Adventure.
Mainly dry with a good stretch of wet to check out some really tiny wipers ;D
Only 30kms of crap road. The Bighorns would work better with a TJ that could easily put it in 4hi.
i wasn't getting out to lock in, so i slowed down...a lot ;)
The 5 ran well at an average 125kms/hr. Very tight and smooth. No wander unless the narrow trak was along any part of highways
that had grooved lanes...that required 2 hands. :)
Heat? The temps outside never hit below -5. So defrosting was never tested...thankfully :P
The cabin was warm. i didn't need to wear any touque or gloves. So, that was a nice surprise.
The Top held... on through the windtunnels along 22 :o
i like it ;D
The plane that took me to Seattle. Same type took me to Pasco.

Nice jeep. How was the plane ride? Those dash-8 q 400's really go eh? So what are your plans for the new jeep?

Glad to hear that it was a good trip!

Glad to see you made it home safe, Tom. :)

The flights were good. i am not a fan of flying but these were pretty cool.
i am glad that the 2 flights were 90 and 35 mins.
i am a little bummed i stowed my camera in the wrong place for the 2nd flight.
i missed a epic pic of Mt Ranier towering above the cloud cover that had socked in the rest of the mountain range.
No real plans. i will get some BFG AT's and a black soft top.
Its ready to wheel. i think a Falls trip might be on the horizon.
