Yesterday it was Cedric and Grant with their trip and now today its you and your trip!!! Do you guys really like making us jealous??? And I thought the guys on the forum were a good bunch. lol. That looks and sounds like an awsome trip. I enjoyed reading it and the photos were great. Now all I need to do is "pull my finger out " and use the truck as she was made to be used.

Alex, it can be discussed. More than 8 vehicles it does become a bit crowded in the camping areas. Less than 4 vehicles I think is again too few.
