Great write up and photos Scott (and Mary-A). That trip was superbe and I was hoping you wouldn't wimp out on the write up like me. That lightening storm was worth the price of admission and the long drive, so the fellowship, exploration and fun was all bonus. I can't wait to see more of the area, especially the lo0ng climb up that mine road we could see in the distance.

There are two types of Land Cruisers in the world-those who Pasquale has hit, and those he will hit. With James as the latest victum, I made sure I had Roberto between him and me at all times. I'm reccomending that Christina does the driving in the Maze!!!

Scott,

Great report!
Monica and I were really sad we could not make it. I was working in Chicago that weekend. We'll do it next year for sure.

Regards

Alvaro
