Looks great! Looks like you didn't even need an umbrella, truck looks like it'll block the sun on it's own!

Nice! I was there a few weeks back, think I posted about it. How much of the shore did they have open? Didn't realize you where that close to the area, I'll be heading back there this year I'm sure maybe we can put something together I know James had been itching to go as well.

I see hydraulic lines but no drag link. Are you push-pull with hydro assist or full hydro?

Its hydro assist and the drag link is up there,hard to see at that angle with the rad skid in the way. We went on Wednesday. And yea we should definitely get as many of us out there as we can. Wheel,swim,fish,bonfire,would be a good time!

Oh and the only closure I could really tell was on the Chincoteague side for the bird nesting. Not 100% sure tho.
