HOME in time for yet another great grey cup...
« on: November 29, 2009, 08:47:58 PM »
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.




Doug's new Jeep. i had no idea how tuff it is to get out of a 5. My hip is bruised  :-[

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!

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

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.
