Too bad I was'nt able to meet any of you guy's. I did see some sweet rides, FMIC and swaps. Maybe next year.

[protégébob]

The caption to this one should be " no officer, being the "post whore" has nothing to do with exchanging money for sex.....well most of the time it doesn't"

lol actually it should be "look at jo trying to tell the cop that theres no vodka in his OJ, its JUST FRIGGIN ORANGE JUICE WITH ICE!!!!!"

nice pics andy - i'll get mine up tomorrow.

[madtownmazda]

guess i'll answer for him....its the griffin radiator that he was up until 5 am the night before (2 hours of sleep before a 20 hour drive lol) installing. the temp needle was about 1/3 up the whole way. no cooling issues at 90+ mph for hours and hours.

That makes sence now.

alright, here goes my pics. i didn't get a whole lot of meet pics, ryans got all of those, but i do have some scenery and random shots that i'll post up with dialogue.

leaving MY driveway, 1.5 hours away from meeting Jo in Albany....gonna be a LONG night.



First Gas stop: 4:40 AM. Still in NY. By this time, i've driven close to 100% of the NYS Thruway. Damn NY is HUGE!!!



Took us all night, but we're finally in our 2nd state out of 6. A long night followed by an even longer day. This is about 5:45 AM.


Nice sunrise shot from the same rest area in PA.


About 7:30 AM, we did a 180 turning into a gas station. Didn't mean to, but it woke us up pretty nicely.


Same gas station. The hourly "clean the bugs off the windshield" act.


Slacked off and didn't take many pictures through Ohio/Indiana (because theres absolutely NOTHING there). Got some of the EL train in Chicago.


Wow - thought it would never come. An actual SIGN to Wisconsin!!!!!! We must be getting somewhere!!!!



Home of the....


...Chicago White Sox. (Go Yankees!!!)


Sears Tower I.


Sears Tower II.



I thought we'd never make it...



Kinda dark, but our cabin. There was a parking spot meant for a BG next to it (mainly because thats probably one of the only cars that could fit in it)


So Devils Lake is close to "The Dells". After receiving many bull**** answers about what the dells actually are, seeing duck boats go down the road, and the thousands of tourists flocking there....we decided to investigate for ourselves and find out what they actually are. We climbed down a bridge and found these:

[EricM]

Oh yeah....the rest of "The Dells" is a cheesy tourist attraction:
(keep in mind these pictures are only from about 5 miles of road....thats a lot of cheese)


Yeah we rode the go-karts. I totally pwned you until you spun me on the last corner of the last lap. I slowed down for some contact at the end and look where it got me.









Super Street Dodge Neon with metallic racing stripe. Wait...is that aluminum foil?!?!?! Ohhhhh, he's got gauges!!!!

He laughed when he saw us snapping pictures of him....


Yeah....in the northeast, our traffic lights are vertical...


Special shout out to Christine: The Blackjack dealer that kept busting up my 18s, 19s, and 20s with better hands. I will get you back, if its the last thing I do....


Meet Day #1: Before we headed over to Andy's (Martiniac) place.



Meet Day #2: Pavillion looking out into the lake.


Same.



Looking out to the right, at the lake.


Looking out to the left, at the lake.



More lake. Overcast/drizzly in the morning....you can see how nice it got in the afternoon.


More Lake.

[EricM]

Ryan's got better shots....but heres some lineups:








Whats up, Sarge?


Camera Whore.



About a mile from the Lake, on the way back to our cabin.



Signage.



The Indiana Fuzz decided to get us for 88 in a 70. We saw him turn around, slowed down to 70, then sped back up....he followed us for 10 miles before he threw on the lights.


Back in the Teggy....trying to get a passing shot of Jo as he heads back to the Mass Pike. Tough cuz its kinda dark out.
