Everyone should know the next line by now... Let's all join in!
Thank you Shannon!


btw... The Orb Is Back!
You're welcome...thank you for hosting them Mark!

The orb seems to be following Kevin wherever he goes.

In case anyone is having a flashback to '94....I apologize for the screwy date in the corner of the pictures. Somehow my camera got bumped and that happened, sorry! :pat:

Weeeeeeee.", signaling the beginning of the climactic action sequence for the "Bobby" character.

Don't ask me what Jim is doing to that rock. I think he took "getting his rocks off" a little too literally...

Finally, another victim of the Mt. Gardner rocks, not including the Bronco with a flat tire that held us up for about 30 minutes on the way back down...

Side note: The tire that blew today is actually a new-ish tire. I still have 2 of the original mud terrain tires that the infamous Chrisco sold me about 2-3 years ago (those are the two front ones).

More pics...
Ok, here's my new look...do you like?

The rest of the pics were taken at our first long stop, at roughly 3500ft. We ran out of road, so we worked our way back down and explored a few spurs after this...(yes, this is completely bass-ackwards in terms of the time-line)

Here's "action" Jackson...looking for a nice stick to chomp on...


And here's one of the views, we did hit a very decent flat area (although not the summit of that particular hill).

You forgot to mention that mine only took less than 5 min. to change. I'd like to thank my pit-crew - Dave, Greg, and David...for their prompt service.

I've had lots of practice on the tire changing thing. Fun day, incredible weather, a day well spent in the mountains.
