Re: "The Road to Hell" Aug 2012
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.
