    Thanks man. It was indeed.

    Glad you liked it!


    Actually...i didn't :anonymous:

    I almost went back and redid it but i decided not too because i left him out in Chapter 4 too. Which was the first encounter with him. I may add it in still..it was pretty funny and cool.

    While part 5 didn't hold all the craziness that the first chapters did, it's probably better it didn't. Woulda been a crap way to end an amazing trip if you broke something else. Great read, great trip, and great pictures. Toyota ought to hire you guys just to go out and give them free press doing awesome things like this all the time, too bad the real world isn't that awesome.

    It was cool! Do it man!

    Thanks man. I agree. Would have been horrible on many levels. It's ended just right.

    That would be awesome! Sadly...you are right.

    Just finished it. GREAT story, you did a great job!! Something we all tend to forget, is to enjoy the time we have with your families and friends. We live in a rush here, rush there society that little mishaps seem like the end of the world. But you and your friends took those problems and showed everyone who reads this story that you can still have a great time. Hats off to all who were involved in this awesome adventure!!

    Awesome story and thread. One of my biggest faults is the lack of taking pics. Your pics alone told of an incredible adventure.

    Wow man, I just went through this enitre thread. Sucks to start the trip off with such a hassle, but it was all worth it in the end. Seemed like a great group. Always seem to be living vicariously through you some how.
