    Is anyone bringing their significant other/ gf or such?

    I'm curious, because I would have a hard time worry about my rig AND whoever was riding with me, if I rolled over the mountain. Good thing I am not doing the switchiebackeroos.

    What do you mean? I don't hit people.

    Good thing my significant other is my rig. :p

    Are you still together with your gf, Monte? Has that stood the test of time through all your truck episodes? :D

    I don't like having passengers. They make me nervous. Plus I tend to swear a lot on the trails and that sometimes frightens people. I let Marcel ride shotgun with me last July and then in August he would only ride with Homer :(

    :D Maybe it had more to do with the fact that cramming all 6-foot whatever of Marcel into my truck was less comfy than him being in a 2nd gen.

    My daughter is my passenger and she's picked up a few good lines when 4wheeling with me.

    It's kind of disappointing and cute, at the same time, to hear a 5 year old girl say, "holy crap, we're not going over that thing are we?"

    I was heading up to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest via the 'back way' and there are a couple of spots where I felt bad for the dog....he was trying to wedge himself against the door while keeping his head out the window :D

    If I make it and she doesn't have other stuff going on I will bring my wife. Pretty sure I am going to make her hike the switchbacks and take pics though. She is terrified of heights and basically freaked out during the entire Hell's Revenge trail in Moab, no way am I going to keep her in the cab during the Switchbacks! Maybe I'll drop the tailgate and she can sit on it for the straightaways then walk the corners and take pics.

    We'll have to see if Monte will let you borrow his spare, handheld radio for this...so much nicer being able to talk to one another.

    I can talk on the CB's, but not understand what is being said. So I can happily interject random comments...
