I was having a hard time with all these pictures from our latest trip. For the last week I've felt sharing them would be disrespectful but I think that was backasswards. Jason was all about sharing all the footage he had and good times with everyone.

As the convoy rolled in to pick up Nate.

We arrived.

Waiting for the trailer'ed rigs to finish prepping.





Ryan's swaping out a nuked external fuel pump.




Jason spotting Jay through Soup Bowl.

Oops.

Kyle's tools and Jerry to the rescue! He lost the snap rings and hurt the yoke ears so some rod was needed.

The Clampits got to the Rubicon. Tom and Ryan were loaded down all trip but made the best of it, even if it looked ridiculous.

Hrm, Pacific Fabrication seems to have a very liberal veiw...

That magnet got passed around and stuck on rigs all trip.

The elusive 2003 Dodge LS1 powered K5.






Cooling off in Spider Lake while Nate keeps pushing his rig through Little Sluice.








Tie-rod is bent pretty nicely. 1.5"OD .375 wall at that. Something new coming, thanks Jason:head3:

Ouch, Nates frame took a beating in the Little Sluice.


Got a little close from time to time to dragging the whole body.




Buck Lake.

On top of the spillway ready to go home.

Andrew and I told ourselves we would try and have the best memories of this trip be the ones that last forever, not the tragic event it became. I want to go back, if for nothing else than to sit on the edge of Buck and watch the water.

Those pictures touched me. Especially the one of you all at the lake.. :crying: Great pics, and I know Jason would want you to share them.

On a side note, would it be alright if I used the welding one for a t-shirt or banner or something?

:hi: Thanks for the pics.

Everything in life happens for a reason, it don't make sense sometimes. We just do the best we can and keep going.

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.
