[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 679070, member: 5925"] Hi guys ! Little weekend recap, since I have some time on my hand as I'm typing. Saturday morning, after loading and driving 4 miles, blow out... Nice. Happy it happened that early and not on the HWY ! [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/475425IMG0292.jpg[/IMG] Tires were too old and Pat already had some issues last time. I figured we could give them a shot, but nope. After being rescued of an air chuck that fitted the wheels by Blake, we put as much air as possible in the other one and we make our way to the closest tire place, 8 miles away. [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/226164IMG0295.jpg[/IMG] They only have high end Michelins, at $500 a pop... And we're chancing the 2 of course... At least we're safe now and that's french tires LOL [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/251215IMG0296.jpg[/IMG] Take 2, we're rolling for good now. 3h of driving with no other issues. [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/527278IMG0298.png[/IMG] Fuelling up before arriving. [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/428673IMG0299.jpg[/IMG] Arrival at GMP, camp is set, RV plugged and the AC is running... Don't forget the breakers (:D) [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/583356IMG0341.jpg[/IMG] Now, on to the rocks and some fun ! [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/773516IMG0307.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/843949IMG0310.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/121846IMG0312.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/289293IMG0314.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/898667IMG0317.jpg[/IMG] And after spending some time having fun around the campfire, we're out there again for some night riding...

[IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/788901IMG0337.jpg[/IMG] The morning after, the Yota is looking kinda sad... [IMG]https://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/989639IMG0345.jpg[/IMG] Strapped it to Matt's Explorer and drug it out wrecker style to the camp !
