I took a bunch of pictures 2005. Wasn't that the year Richard did the "monster jump" on Brockway that I was referring to or was that 2004? Anyway, I probably have some shots of you somewhere in my collection. That's awesome. I had been working on a plan to get into the sport in G2 but have decided to put it on hold a bit longer till I can have more funds for the big show. haha Amazing how fast the money goes when you start budgeting out all the stuff it takes to setup, maintain, and campaign a car, even at the club level. Yikes!

Thanks man! Yeah Meredith is a special gal, but so is Shaun, they were really perfect for each other. And damn, the three of us together make for some goofy MMM times. Just what I needed.
Where would one find a "Gazeteer"? I am unfamiliar with this item. Seen it mentioned many times on this site, but still unclear. Clearly I am a beginner!!

The other big goal of this trip was one of a romantic nature. I have been hatching this plan since last November to try to set Shaun and my friend Meredith up. She just graduated med school and is moving to Rochester in couple of weeks (where Shuan hails from) for residency and it just seemed too perfect. They are both big kayakers, Shuan a former paddler for Riot and Meredith a whitewater guide in Alaska. I had this feeling that they would dig each other. Boy was that an understatement! It went so damn well that I think I'm going to start an overland romantic tours company! haha
Where do I sign up? :coffeedrink: I'm still looking for the right one.
Great story. Love the photos.

Thanks Dave!
After reading the latest definitions of expeditions versus adventures, I think this might fall into the expedition category. See, it contains both a mission of a higher purpose as well as a form of humanitarian mission. I might have to have this moved to a new subforum.

You must be a member of NASIOC too. I sold my WRX @ 3 years ago but still go there occasionally.
I live in the town nextdoor to Northwoods, Bay City.
I thought it was like '03 Pat Richards did that. I had a video on my PC of it for the longest time.
Barnes & Noble have them too. They usually carry quite a few states.

Maybe it was '03, man time flies! It doesn't feel that long ago.
Here's the footage of it.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hMVdIeLVbs
I learned a lot from the suby sites. There is actually a rally going on now at wellsboro PA. www.STPR.com.. MY daughter and I are watching dirty jobs right now and he is going to help paint the Mackinac bridge. The last part he walks up the cable to change a light bulb. What a view. Once again, great pictures. Thanks for bringing my driving bug from hibernation.

Yeah, well that was the only way to make it all fit. Suprisingly the boats didn't budge they were so solid on there. Not the most aerodynamic setup ever but it got the job done! :victory:

I made a little youtube clip from this trip if anyone cares to check it out. Some additional pics and a touch of video, along with some good music. :victory:
