    I have too many Toyotas...
    Everything... and a bag of Cheetos.
    Prior to that day, I hadn't either. You should try it.

    Indeed there was! There was an employee there who'd been bitten a couple days prior by a much smaller alligator. I asked her to show me the wounds and when she pulled up her pant leg it looked like she'd been stabbed a bunch of times. Later, I saw the video of here getting chomped. Had I seen all of that beforehand I might have thought twice.

    I'm looking forward to the Saturday run; I haven't been out in quite a while. There might be some snow up there, too; I'll be dressed for the cold.

    It's been a long time since I've been on this road; I looked at it on Google Maps and things appear to have changed somewhat. I'll bring my Garmin.

    There are some fantastic views IIRC, someone ought to bring a camera.

    I'm also wondering how the heavy rains have affected the roads up there; it may have become more challenging. :turtleride:

    D-rings.

    Go by Desert Rat to get them. The ones for recovery have a higher rating than you get at Lowe's/Home Depot. I wouldn't sweat it if you can't get them today. I carry 4 with me.

    You guys may run into some snow... at the very least, there will be lots of mud.

    We made it back alive and without resorting to cannibalism.

    Pictures to come. Have to sort through 162 of them.

    I want to thank everyone for showing up and especially for Max and his lovely wife for leading the way.

    Kyle had no issues with traction.

    Pigger got lost but don't ask him about it.
