And our route on Google Maps. <-- LINK

If anyone wants the KML files for the route or waypoints to load into Google Earth, your own GPS, etc, look for the download buttons in the left menu bar.

To convert the KML to a Garmin (gpx) format (and others), take a look at GPSbabbel.

Franklin's new used Jeep 80. Ash in foreground making sure to get a whipping when the chains snap. At this point, Franklin was becoming familiar with locking rear diffs.

Ali doing his thing with Jarred, Daisy and Andrew "supervising".

and "one of these rigs is not like the others..." cuz it's smelly and belongs on the wrong side of the road (but is still very cool Jarred)

This must be the first thread where the kids had more pics posted than the trucks.

MS = Micro$oft Paint....no way...Open Source. Used GIMP

My first thought of the pics too. I tried to balance it a little with more trucks. Franklin countered my efforts.

Cuteness and fun quotient exceeded!!!!!

Looks like a blast guys!

While I'm glad I put Dad's 40 back down on it's own wheels, I did not sled nor throw snowballs once I headed to work.

We made pretty good progress so the only time I spent enough time out of the truck to take pictures was lunch, when the kids were having a blast.

It was a good run indeed.

Good job to the guys up front in deciding to turn around instead of plowing further. It can be a tough call when to turn around but it was very nice to return to the pavement before sun down. Everyone had an enjoyable time w/o any drama, trauma.

A family friendly outing such as this one was, having a "boring" trail run is not a bad thing!

Some Pics:

Airing up

Look RIGHT THERE, that's where I just got hung up next to Ali. But, I'm DA MAN and unstuck myself.
