    I lined the inside of my coolers and lid with aluminum bubble wrap insulation. Worked really well for Moab and this trip. HD or lowes has them in rolls, enough to do a couple coolers.

    It's almost been a week! All I have to say is I had a great time. Stacey and I enjoyed getting to know everyone. Look forward to the next time, whether it's wrenching or wheeling!

    Stacey and I have some pics to post. Stacey's pics are posted from 500px

    Stacey provided all the night shots, I did the photoshop work.

    Here's a video of Marty blowing up his U-joint. It's short, but you can see the sparks fly. Totally sucks, cause that was a mean machine.
