    that is so sweet! so glad ou guys rallied and hit the big storms! maybe road trip of the year (to date).

    now, i am kicking myself for not going up last night to hit it today....after reading posts like this, seeing all the $, sweat, toil and effort peeps put in to hit a blower day in Tahoe...well, makes me feel spoiled and shamed for not hitting every storm....

    Plan is to slay it tomorrow (providing I didn't totally screw up my call of Wed being "the day", and in fact, today becomes "the day" and they pop everything @ Alpine...)

    But I digress...again, great TR, nice work lads!

    Jealous...starting to seethe...

    No, actually glad you guys got some. Watching all the Ta ho's get some I've come to accept, just not used to having the Boston crew rub my face in it too.

    1st round of pictures: getting there is half the battle, into the maw of the 'gurge

Later find that Basom has an iTrip, but only his iPod will work...which means we will be forced to listen to They Might Be Giants and The Crash Test Dummies all trip. Pick Basom and Bill up in Oakland @ 2:45. They are looking autumn-harvest-steezariffic. Totally sickbird. On road at 2:50 am.
    bill and i show up at the oaktown airport. realize we have three hours to kill. stoke out the best we can.



    The Mobile Command Unit arrives. its go time.

    bill: wretched storm chaser


    APK: just trying to get some, stupid law school

    its the full on gurge at the pines



    bill gets in some good reading, sleeping is not comming easy for any of us.

Avy control and clean-up still pending. We decide to head back down to Placerville and develop a plan. No one else we can think to call has any ideas.
    no ideas? cool, lets flash some gang signs

    pretty close to hitting the wall, in need of some hope, just praying we get over the pass



    no stopping! no guests! no plans!

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

    Nice Base! I miss it already...hopefully Billy-boy is schralping it for us. I wonder if he is going to get out?

    This basically sums up the driving conditions for approx. 300 of the 633 miles...all up in the maw of the 'gurge.

    Wish you were there man. When are you going to be able to get up?

    They were skeptical of "the paper" at first, but everyone ended up reading it cover to cover...and they really are just like us!

    Unreal. simply unreal. And no one deserved those turns more than you guys who took a huge chance going into the maw of the gurge.

    That TR brought tears to my eyes (whether I'm happy for you or very, very sad for me to not have gotten some of that snow, I'm not sure...).

    Nice work - keep those pix coming.

    Glad that stress was eased. Sorry to have missed you guys. I crushed it at the office all weekend and have been killing it at the financial printers in Newport Beach since yesterday morning.

    The only good that has come from this trip is that I can confirm without hesitation that the paper doesn't lie...Brad and Jennifer have broken up.

    In all seriousness. This trip sounds like amazing fun and I am sorry that I didn't get to be a part of it. Really hope that you guys all make it out again this season. Gonz tried to provide some color on Sunday night but I think that he was entirely too polluted by the time I called back. I had to hang up once he started talking about having invented "white trash wombats" which include a waterpipe, seagrams, bud light and some brake fluid. Amazing.

    Thanks for the inspiration fellas. Vive le Wombat!!!

    dude, get it right. its bong hit, then lie on your back, then Susan pours seven in your throat, then i pour in keystone light crucial thats its keystone, then you jump up, headrush style, and exhale.

    Bill won the wombat contest with the bong hit, beefaroni ingested, seagrams and beer, bong hit exhaled.
