    I can't remember when it happened. But speed came up and you and Mike just looked at eachother and you said something like "yeah I like the pace in the back" or something while laughing. Couldn't remember when that happened. But do remember there was a bit or a poking fun about the slow dudes in the back :p haha

    I consider it all more like a work of historical fiction, none of it happened for sure, but a lot of it would make sense if it did

    Great pics guys. I love all the snow pics. Snow is the last thing on my mind in September... That's a beautiful part of the country too. Very unknown how beautiful it is up there to the average person.


    I've had people take pictures with their phones hanging out the window on the interstate, but never a total stranger come and pose with my truck. She was even leaning on it, touching it, etc. That's a brave thing to do haha. Even funnier that Devin was in the truck.

    I wonder what she captioned that as for all her Facebook friends... Either "Saw these cool trucks in America!" Or "Check out the awesome rentals we got on our trip to the western US where there are no laws and all the roads are dirt!"

    It would have been awesome if she would have taken a pic of them from inside the truck.

    One thing I have noticed between Dans and Montes write-ups is that Dan has more story telling while Monte has more pictures in his. Not that I'm complaining it's nice to get both aspects

    Yeah I try and use almost all the photos. Plenty of story telling going on though its just dwarfed by the amount of photos. Which for me is better anyways as Im a visual person haha

    Plus im a shit writer anyways. haha Dan is much better at that.

    No thanks.

    I have to do that on Expeditionportal as you can only have 1000 characters per post and only 20 or 25 photos a post. Super annoying.
