    Great shots man! And wow, a partial photo of the GF..haha She enjoy it? Devin bought her plane ticket yesterday. She doesn't get to...warm up to the truck camping haha

    My drivers side door handle is half gone. Still works. Probably won't fix it even knowing how much of a PITA it is to swap the lock over.

    So my roommate for the summer said she had a dog but wouldn't have her for a bit. She showed up today with the cutest 8 week old pup. Merle coat like Ash but with dark browns and blacks. I need another pup. Ash needs a brother.

    Well, I ended up not going out to the Big Horns this weekend. Instead I went over through Beartooth Pass. I was able to hit a Lulu Pass and Daisy Pass out there. Both of those trail were a lot of fun, but still had a fair amount of snow in some spots. Everything was pretty wet out there, so I also ran into a fair amount of mud. From there I drove down Chief Joseph highway into the Shoshone National Forest and ran a few forest service roads out there. All in all it was a really good little day trip. Here are some pictures:

    I loved it out there. The mosquitoes were thick though. One of these days I'm gonna have to run Morrison Trail. I'm just not super confident about my 2nd gen doing too well on the switch backs.

    The mosquitos aren't even bad yet! :laugh: . I am pretty fed up with them though. I can't wear skeeter repellent in the field since it can harm the toads. I get ate alive every time I work.

    Come mid July they are pretty nasty. Down here in the snowies you will just see a black blob on the trail. I never had a huge issue with them in the big horns. Just keep the fire extra Smokey.

    I love to take a quick dip in a stream if they get me bad enough.

    Black blob? The bugs were really only an issue for me yesterday because I completely spaced on bringing bug spray out. I'll make sure to have some with me in the future. Do you wyoming guys have any trail runs planned in the upcoming weeks?

    How the hell could you not fit a cooler?? I can do that with two dog kennels. And subs.

    Goose lake is up that way. Looks good up there though.

    Knew the bugs where gonna be bad this year.

    Morrison is fun. But I'm never doing it with another 2nd gen again. Sorry haha

    Yeah, when the skeeters are so thick that you can just see a floating dark spot. The only trip I have planned is in August and as far as I know its kinda invite only. Lander is going to happen for me. Ill be looking to do weekend runs around mid july.

    Someone needs to play tetris...or quit packing so much crap. And wtf, you won't run morrison with me if I ever find the time to make it up there?

    Does the dog ride in the kennel? I pack Ash's kennel sometimes to have a place to lock him up at night near the fire so I don't have to keep an eye on him. Since he rides in the truck 90% of the time I stuff my cooler inside it.

    Yea i shot myself in the foot again. Warped a super long thin piece. Which is fine. I need it to be 1/4'' anyways now.

    So far..its a great idea and seems to be working. Other then the last issue i mentioned above, my only concern at this point is i bought to strong of gas lift supports. But i got the weakest ones i could at the length i needed.

    Ill find out though..

    And yea! Walton is looking fine! rides great too. Tundra 5100s with my old eibachs up front and OME 891 coils out back. Was going to resue my dads old icons for the rear but the bushings don't work on the bottom.

    rained on us last week for work. Tried to go to the bench to finish spraying the oil field...my...god...so muddy.
