    It's became a tradition for me as recently. This was my third year. Been joining the gf with her family. They been going out there for Thanksgiving for about 30years.
    My first year bringing the prerrunner with. I usually do the dirtbikes up in the hills, but the truck was nice this year with the cool weather and being able to explore a bit further. The dirt is very nice up there.
