Okay. I guess I was the first one to make it back to California, with Chris and crew hot on my tail. From the photos, you can tell we had one heck of a good time. Now, I have to make articles out of it all! And no, I did not win the truck.

Not home yet. Left Chicago today and was delayed two hours and missed my connection in Denver so I'm at the Marriott with a 3:30AM wake up call to high tail back to the airport for a 6AM flight to Ontario.

It was a great trip and I'm sorry I missed the return part of the tour.

Hey Steve, good to hear you make it back. I bet you'll be busy for the next few days,, catching up with work stuff, not to mention you still have to fix the truck. Three day weekend comming up, you should be able to get something done. Have a good one.
As for the rest the guys, Hopefully you will all have a safe trip back, looking forward to the next meeting.

This was a fantastic trip. It seems that almost everybody that actually drove their truck had a problem or two, but that is what seemed to make it so good. The return trip with Walt & Dee, Gib & Marsha was special too. Tons of miles on that old 50 year old truck and the worst damage was just a few new rock chips and a ton of bugs. Those of us that went will be talking about it for a long, long time. Check out the photos.
1 - oil cooler in Kingman - $60

The cherries were a hit. The night cap run was the best!

I think Walt and his EverClear cherries have made a few guys into distributors of the funny face. Amazing how many women will eat 6 or more of those juiced cherries!!
