Hey guys, sorry i havent been around, work has been getting crazy as we approach the day to begin filming. I wont be able to make it due to a lack of recovery equipment, and I have to work tomorrow. I wish things were different, im really bumbed out right now. even alekg is gone, so i dont have anyone to hit the trails with up here.
i guess on a good note i will just be that much more prepared for the next one. my truck really lacks armor, need the new tunned pcm, and some fluid changes.
i wish all of you guys a safe and exciting trip. maybe you could leave a small hole in the convoy and ill be there in spirit hahahaha.
tread lightly gentlemen.

Thank you, sir. You know I'd be there if it was possible. I really wanted to climb some mountains.

Thanks. I have the info on the antenna and how to tune it. Does the meter need batteries ? If so, what kind? I will pick them up on the way down if I can.

Battery free. Good to go!
I'm almost packed up now... I'll finish packing the truck in the morning.
Mario... can you keep me notified on your road-progress tomorrow? I'm planning on being at the meet point at about 9, but you should call me if you're looking early or late.
Everyone on CB channel 1.

Mario, I'll call you in the AM. I looked at the map. Looks like there is a good spot for me to pull over and wait for all of you near exit 4b (churchmans rd) on I-95 just after you cross the bridge. No need to get off an exit. Just beep when you guys pass me and I will catch up.

Do you know why rain dances worked? It's because they didn't stop dancing until it started to rain. Silly Injuns.
