    Currently in Montana near the Idaho border. I lost some time today looking for wifi to dl some audiobooks and driving slow last night because of wildlife. I nearly hit deer on 4 occasions, a fox and bear on other occasions. It was only because I was super focused that I spotted them early.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    You've covered some ground since the last time I dropped in this thread! You lucked out and missed the storm that hit Montana, the Dakotas, and Wyoming the middle of the week. Didn't get any in my part of Wyo, but the Beartooths, and several other mountain ranges are looking pretty white.

    I would be falling asleep by now... Almost home, nice hot shower and warm bed waiting for you. Then you can wake up and wash that truck for I'm sure it's collected bugs on its front end by now. :D

    2011sr5, you're right about lucking out on the snow. I asked some folks if they were anticipating more and they said no, so I risked it. If more snow was on the way, I was going to drop down through Salt Lake. Anyway, I did luck out.

    I just got out of the shower at home. My wife drives a 07 4Runner and she is probably going to want to trade me :).

    More details tomorrow. Going to get some food.
