I've just arrived from Truckhaven and have some pics to post. The gourmet food was deeeeelicious and the shotguns LOUD!!

If you have been following this run, you'll get a taste of what they're doing, literally, as I type this!

So please bear with me as I resize, crop and/or rotate the pics.

OK, here are my pics from Truckhaven...

Falling into formation
I miscalculated an approach angle

There were at least 15 trucks
The real fun begins...

Too easy! -Jose
Going down, notice damaged bumper cap

Bottomed-out Jeep, Gill about to help out
Facing another easy climb
Don't climb too fast, steep drop
Big open playground

By noon, I head to head out. I tried to follow our tracks, but ended up taking a treacherous shortcut

Somehow made it through this pass!
Stopping to pose
And again...
Run down, take pic, run up

All in all, Truckhaven was a blast! I only wish I could have stayed there all weekend. But what was really worth it was the comeraderie and the food. Micheal, Jay and Ho are truly "Iron Chefs".

Cheers!

Javier, great to have met you. Now we have to get together for a local run. Great pics!

It was great to have met you as well, Jose!

Man, Truckhaven made Gorman look tame. At least the parts of Gorman I've seen.

Yes, we must do a local run, say when!
