90 Day LV Build

[landcrusher909]

We made it the next day to the staging area. I fired up the LV and away we went its maybe a couple of miles to the dirt turn off ( all up hill ) This was the farthest the LV had been driven in at least 20 years. William did a great job driving the 45 PU

We pulled in and were met with smiles and handshakes It was 87 days to the day we pulled into Deer Valley I was excited and exausted at the same time. ( More picture and the final chapter tommorow 0:cheers ) Its bedtime​

Thank you everyone for all your post

I have had alot of people ask was it worth it These next set of pictures say it all. Camping with my kid Willaim ,my dog Zip building something from nothing , The Look on Whitey's face ( You Bet ) made it all worth it ​

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

Rob, just way cool that you guys not only pulled it off, but that you and William got to spend this great time together, and will always remember this

So when does the sequel start...the one that includes the second LV...

Great story, starting something and finishing or finding a good stopping point for the next phase is a great lesson in it self....to any of us and not to mention the feeling you get of accomplishing something and everything else that comes with it. But if you ask me if it was worth reading, I'd say it was a joy. Thanks
