Goin,
Diesel is no problem in AZ along I40 or AZ 17. I have gone from HB to Sedona (Sedona is close to Deadhorse/Cottonwood) at least 10 times and made it in a day no problem, and you know that I drive much slower than the cowboy and bam. Unless you leave real early, your best bet is a stop in Williams like kevbo, that way you won't be getting to Deadhorse late at night and tired.
The PW is still winning my heart, not the grunt of a diesel, but for a guy like you who likes to go where no one else goes...I will be leading the pack into the wild. There are still those big a** Ford wheels and tires in my garage.

We could have a Hemi-fest. It would be best to take a cowboy since we have to go through Texas.

When in March might you be considering such a journey?

Cool. I'll be in AZ. next weekend so I'll come down after that and take them for a comparo.
We have to leave Fri. night so we'll stop near the AZ. border and boondock. That'll put us in Deadhorse around lunch.

Found Her!

Ah yes. That phone conversation is but a hazy memory. But, I did locate her and she felt that the last minute Deadhorse trip was not one of my more stellar thoughts (she said you were 0 for 2 by the way) ??. Maybe next year.
On a lighter note, we ran up to Cold Spring Tavern for lunch today. It just wasn't quite the same without the familly, but the weather was great, the sandwiches good (no mayo), and motorcycles as far as the eye could see. There was a blues group playing live too. The percussionist played a 2 buck chuck box. No sh*%. Photo Smart is acting up. I'll post some pix later. Ron

Hi Kev,
The dish we bought at CW for the moho. We bring one of our Direct TV boxes from the house. Ron

What do you mean? 29Palms the first ever Calstreamers Rally was an amazing success. Great fellowship, food, drink and if you keep tesasing me you're going on another ride with Dee-oh-gee.
It must have been a success since its still talked about.
Pyramid lake I blame totally on Timemachine.

I think we should all join the mini-caravan to Jackson Center with the TIMES in late March. We'll be back in time for the Baja adventure...
str8's? Goins? Anyone?

We may be able to be talked into that. What's the weather like back there? And speaking of Baja. I don't see any of the final five signed up. I thought we were the adventurous ones. And finally, yes you may borrow the mask, but I thought it was Holly that was on the fruit (rhymes with toot) diet. Ron
