Got in some white water kayaking with my 8 yr old girl.
I was so proud of how handled the class 3s on this run.

The Sawtooths and seeing you float remind me of my 105 mile float in 2013 down the Middle Fork of the Salmon. Best trip of my life. The year I also got my cruiser.

That Gm motor looks like where they copied the 2F from.

Did they come up with any color?

They found one tiny flake, but it must not be that hard to find because there is a sign that says you can only keep 3 flakes and a park ranger looking over everything to make sure.
Interesting history in that area, geologist state that there is tons of gold in the area but the state shut down all gold mining activity in the 70s as the miners were destroying the environment.

Ditched the aftermarket battery tray and installed a stainless steel tray.
Also installed a new 27 group battery

Great build thread Mike! Great choices on mods and improvements.

We were in CO about a month after you in September. I had just sold the Surfer and was a "stunt" driver for my 3 Houston Cruiser buds!

Thanks Brian, that means a lot coming from you!
September is a great time to be in CO, wish we could have stayed longer and seen some of the aspens change.
We'll go back next year
