I remember some pictures from a rubithon trail report earlier this year. You get lockers in your cruiser yet? Or get the overheating figured out?

actually thats the other guy. I was riding in B2krawlers rig. However, I did get my junk running and now have lockers front and rear. Might test it out on fordyce next weekend. Had a hell of a trip last weekend

I showed up in one of your pics as a bystander......freaking world is to small.

sierravalley · 10-19-2006, 02:55 PM

What rig were you in?

Rockodile · 10-19-2006, 03:17 PM

That pic (pics 61 & 62) where you are looking down into LS and there is a Zuk, then you take a pic of your friend under the tree, I am right next to his left hand in the distance...I am standing across the LS and up on the hill barely visible next to a different tree. Some dude was welding on his jeep next to those three people across the sluice in the pic.

I was driving a white TJ.

Just wierd showing up in other folks photos

Back in august, I thought buck island was warmer than spider.

When the inflow from Rockbound is big, Buck is pretty cold. Once the inflow stops, it warms up quickly. The springs are pretty close to the same temperature all summer, so they are warmer than Buck during inflow and colder than Buck after it quits. Spider is pretty consistently warmer than the springs too, but not by a lot.

I thought it was just perfect. It was hotter than hell outside and I needed to wake up a bit. Leaving tonight for Fordyice, brought the ol swimming trunks but dont think I will use them

Lucky getting to wheel during the week!

I always bring the swimsuit too but sometimes it just doesn't work out.
