Hmmmm, I guess Mike does need a passenger now.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Bad news for me... I realized that my RTT will not fit into or out of my garage, even if I deflate the tires entirely.
So I'm going to have to devise some other method for getting it mounted to the truck this time around.

I think I'm going to find a strong friend for the trip, but I'm going to have to come up with something new as a long term fix. I'm thinking a small mobile "crane".

here are a few ideas. My dad has the 3rd one mounted to the front of a 7X14 trailer, it is really handy.

I have one of those some where. If you can't find anyone to help beforehand just let me know and I can come up early and help you mount it.

I'm still mad at Kyle...
I'm bringing an honest to god city boy along for his first camping/offroading trip. He's a good guy who likes to drink.

I moved Moots to the maybe list after talking to him a few times over the past few days. He's not to sure he can make it. The motor is coming out of his truck on friday. Plus he's got a whole pile of parts he wants to replace before Tecore.
