Great pics Jonny, this one's my favorite...

You and the wench look great, and I noticed your bagster holes were lined up nicely.

You do have an inordinate amount of dust on those boxes, but being that you were riding Death Valley I can let it slide.

How hot was it there?

C'mon Jonny, you know that after the teenage lust fades it's what's on the inside that counts.

Spectacular.

You've outdone yourself on this one, j o. This sets the standard against which all other road trip photo journals will be measured. You (and Micki?) have a good photographer's eye.

klinker... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....

just sharing for those who may want to ride the same roads... i used the mnb ride report to plan out the journey... he had lotts o wimmins to herd around... i only had 1...

i take the bug eye brick photos... that crazy wench takes everything else... mostly rolling along at speed...

we have a nice 10mp digicam with a 12x digizoom... she wanted to take it... i said we didnt have room for it... its big... she was right though... she would have got some amazing detail with that thing... the little 5mp 3 digizoom does well though...

yous gotts toos eats... butts dont eats the jerky...
