I just got a DVD in the mail today. Ranger and Cheryl's trip from right coast, to left coast, to back again. A slide show to music. Thank you. Great memories.

On that note: You got a LOT of reporting to do on THIS TR. Keep in coming. I already know the story but I won't spoil it for others.

Cool, I hadn't seen the video before. Talk about a plan coming together, it could not have gone any better. Plan? Yeah we had a plan, to back the trailer in the driveway. Busy two lane road in front of the house, driveway slightly offset with a steep slope in the front.

So we put a plan together to deal with the issues:
Remove WD bars and bicycle rack to deal with the slope in the driveway.
Drive on the wrong side of the 2 lane road so that I could get a better angle backing into the driveway.
Recruit a few crazies to stop traffic for me while I back into the driveway.
Go over my plan with everyone, who was interested, so we could execute without a problem.

I drove around the block and as I came down the road to move over to the wrong side there was no traffic coming the other direction and none behind me. Roni, Ranger and Uno were already walking into the street getting ready to block traffic as I approached. Bonny was in the driveway to make sure I didn't back into anything. I pulled to the (left) wrong side and made a hard right to get at about 45 degree angle with the driveway and backed right in. It happened so fast even I was surprised.

Even more surprising was Ranger got part of it on video. Thanks dude.

Most pictures I take are shoot and see later, sometimes they are good!

You did awesome backing that in first shot!!

Cheryl and I stayed with Colleen and Dana for a couple day's and headed east of Eugene to the mountain's.

Nice area, reminds me of Vermont............












We got a guy to take a pic for us............










We stopped for breakfast and Dana suggested that the waitress expects you to be ready with you order, I kept thinking of what to get and only took one picture there...........
