Roasted Asparagus...yum! So do the drivers get excited with the crews or are they calm and collected?

 

[GASoline71]

They can get excited at times... but for the most part they are calm. Kasey is very calm on the radio... unlike his younger brother (Kale) that spots for him.

Tony Stewart gets a little mouthy... so does Kyle Busch.

When you say spots for him, what he watches the race and tells him what is going on?

Yup... the spotters let the driver know about trouble on the track and what to look out for during crashes. They let them know who is in what place on the track as well.

Gary- get yourself a scanner and you can listen to most any frequency whenever you want.

I regulary listen to the local law enforcement, but have brought it with on road trips and listened in at the drag races before, nascar would be even cooler.

Bodean man, how was the paddling?

 

[Bodean]

Here's the begining of a boat load of photos.


HAHA

Enjoy.

Well I guess I'll explain as I wait for upload, there was about 8 of us.
We floated and paddled for 3 days and had awesome times, til the wind
came.

If we didn't walk back the 70 mph winds would have blown us into nevada.

We were a motley crew, some folks didn't bring sleeping bags nor other nescessities. Though lots of flannels.

We launched at about Midnight on monday, great moon.

Turns out they gave me and J the leaky boat, about a gallon an hour bailing.
maybe more.

 

[Bodean]

More pics. I only took 250 pics, love that digi camera.

Lots of scenery, the backside of the Sierras and the Whites.

Lots of cheap beer, maybe your finest, Pabst.

The sun was beating down on us, before the wind came in.

Pabst Blue Ribbon in a leaky canoe for two.

 

[Bodean]

and some more.

The wind was fierce, we were wasted, made for an uncomfortable night.


Every freaking one of those fellas snored like a train. AAAAGGHhh.
No ear protection available.

 

[Bodean]

And some more, we went fishing at a different lake, and some hot springs.

I was throwing my bait and hook at four rainbow trout and not one bite.

 

[Old Monkey]

It looks like you guys forgot to bring women. Don't tell me you guys all spooned behind that wall of canoes?

 

[Bodean]

Actually, no ladies was kinda the idea, though in hind sight I might have wished for some hindsight.

I came home with lots of energy, let's just say Sunday was a Good Day.
