Alright back to the pics...





It turns out my other memory card is still in the truck so I'll upload more tomorrow.

Knowing Vlad for many years, I have never realized that he could grow to the "director" position... as far as I am familiar with his business, he was always doing just the minor semi-legal stuff - some drugs, killings, carjacking, bombing of the nursing houses, children trafficking, etc.

That is why we have to kill Oleg first!

So dangerous! Very close to the bad thing.

Beautiful area for a break and some fun


Not too long before the freight train came through

Finally got to the forum. Got to mechanic's place around 2am and totally pissed him off - apparently its not the first time tow trucks arrive at night and his neighbors are on the edge. Got home around 10am next day after crushing at Oleg's place and are almost back to life by now
Despite the damage, we really enjoyed the trip, especially because of the great people all of you guys are!
Great thanks to Vlad for support, advice, sharing the expertise and tools, Carlos, Mike and Ray (the cavalry) for coming to the resque, Joanna for making the aaa-save operation at all possible and Oleg & Vera for being with us and helping with every step of the way - there and back! You guys rule! (you can now count on getting dealt mafia cards all the time Cheers for everybody on the trip. Hope to see you all on trails again soon!

Photos from the trip
BTW Ray, I cant wait to see the flash light art!

Sorry some of you experienced problems. Glad to hear you all made it home ok and in once piece.

One thing I love about this sport is the camaraderie we gain coming from one.

As for my pictures, I've finished the initial post processing (cropping, color adjustments, etc.). I'm now converting them from a photoshop file to a jpg file. Will upload them after that and will update this post with those images. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
