Michigan "Adventure"
The mission: Meet inlaws in Michigan for a family reunion of sorts. Take the long way. Drive through new states. Camp, dispersed when available. I left after the breakfast and started to head north. Google said to jump on the freeway. Drive to Oklahoma City. Stay on a freeway to St. Louis., up...

Drove it for 45 seconds. Love it. Can't wait to get my engine situation figured out. Truck drives tight and suspension must've been replaced at some point
"Patty" - my new-to-me '94 Pickup - made her first visit to ACC Garage. These guys have worked on my FJ Cruiser and Land Cruiser since 2008.

Rolled down the back window and sat on the tailgate. Still waiting for appropriation of funds for motor replacement...
Badwater Death Valley, Aug 4, 6:15AM, 97° (forecast was for a peak of 121°, we didn't stay to find out):
Visited the lowest place in KA that you can drive to, Badwater Death Valley @ -282 feet, and the highest place in CA that you can drive to, Barcroft Station @ 12,470 feet, in one day via mostly dirt roads.
A/C failed on the drive out there, so 3 days in ~100° heat with no A/C. Just like old times!

A friend’s birthday bash on Blanca peak this week. Old junk up high
The body shop! Just back from dropping off the doors and fenders. The shop owner said "Oh, they're in great shape. We'll redo that and fix that, but yeah... these are better than I expected." They're pulling the flatbed frame off to better access the cab too. I'm kinda glad the body shop doesn't have a webcam... I'd waste all day checking in on it
