Sometimes you’re just in the right place at the right time.
My friend Dave had fuel pump issues on top of Anterro two days earlier, coasted/Macgyvered his way down with his friend Curt (literally Macgyver), trailered to the campground and then we took off on monday to go do Hurricane to Animas Forks. He didn’t make it a few hundred feet out of camp before he realized something wasn’t right. So Curt and Matt4 took it back to camp (just fouled plugs, ran great the rest of the week) and Dave jumped in with me.
Doing Poughkeepsie down instead of up was on my bucket list after last year, so we took a left off of Hurricane and did it.
This was taken just above the wall.
Keela told me I got all flexy for her coming down and that I might be in the magazine, which I was pretty excited about. I was videoing on my way down and have the conversation at the bottom recorded, and I sound like an excited little girl. Approximately no one will ever see that video.
Stan, the editor, contacted me and asked about my truck, I told him it might upset the purists so I find it interesting that there is very very little of this shot that sets my truck apart from the norm - coilovers, drivers side diff, and the weird air intake is it. So that’s interesting.
All that being said I’m honored and humbled, and appreciate this great community. I appreciate being accepted with my truck the way it is by you guys. I had no idea when she said something that it would be on the cover. That’s just wild to me.
