hey george,

biff and i ran into each other at a mobil station after we left HV. turns out that biff (victor) also works on "that 70's show" too!

and biff w/ regards to the brownies, you snooze, you lose! actually, milton and aster were quite generous in handing them out. maybe you weren't around at the time or didn't know who had them.

i got home just fine. i figured out how fast i was going by my tacometer, nascar style

whats cool about it is that the run was open to everyone. Even a prerunner ranger and an Overheated Honda Passport tagged along.

I had such a great time everyone, so did Aster. I got home around 7:30 and fell right asleep.... first time driving my 4runner so far.... long drive and with the throttle all the way most of the time.... wish I had cruise control.

Here are the pics, Aster took most of them.

Whoever didnt get brownies... gotta come to our next trip! And for those that tried them, glad you liked them

Thanks everyone!!

Dang! I should've gone when the wife decided to take a nap....
oh well, I guess when my rig is done we can try Miller Jeep Trail.
Casey, I'm surprise that the 2wd can make it up those steps. I guess autotrans help.

Hey guys,

Thanks for letting me tag along with my ranger (I'm working on getting an '85 p/u when my ranger is done). I was supprised my one tire fire prerunner made it all the way through, it wasn't made for slow loose hilly trails. It got kind of tough on those last few hills, but I had a great time. My bro (redrunner_87) already posted the pictures that we took. Thanks again
