sorry i have not posted in a while. i could not get a good connection on the road. so far we have gone about 2300 miles from the start of our trip. the trooper has been running well other than the oil pressure has been going down every day. i changed the oil pump and oil this morning so it should be good. right now we are in LA. we have seen the grand canyon, the painted desert, the petrified forest, and the mojave desert. here are some pictures of the trip so far.

Dude, you guys are rockin'! Good to hear the Trooper is purrin' along. Keep us posted!

Looks like fun!

its been a blast. today we tried kayak surfing for the second time. i now have painful ailments on both legs. see, i did it first so i got the worst of the beating and then every one else got to get in on the middle of my learning curve. LAME. any way, it was worth it, and i will do it again tomorrow. thats just how cool/dumb i am (: . any way, thats all folks.

we are in the mojave desert now. on the way to my cousins i did some four wheeling on some of the side roads. the desert out hear is full little trails just big enough for the trooper. sweet. ill put pictures on later.

we did more offroading today. being in the mojave desert is cool. i have done more trail riding in the last to days than the rest of my life all together. we got a flat tire in the middle of the desert. that was cool. it happened right after we went on a really rough road. big shock right. here are some pictures.

these are a few random pictures.

Great pics! You guys are making some life-long memories. Keep the updates coming!

Good for you guys! It is nice to see you boys having a good time and living life! Oyaji is right, you are making memories to look back on when you are sitting in the rocking chair in your 70s!!

thanks you guys! i just went out and got new tires today. cant wait to try them out. by the way Oyaji, we will be coming your way pretty soon. if you would like to go wheeling or what ever then give me an idea when you would be free.
i will post new pix tonight.

Put up some pics of the new shoes!

On wheeling...my rig is apart as of today for head gaskets, so no wheeling for me. But, let me know when you're passing through, and I'll take you guys for a coffee or smoothie or whatever it is that you drink. I'd like to see your rig!
