FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Still around - High-Yo-Silver

Alright, so I know I have been MIA for awhile... 2 years already. My new job then got me to do a lot of short notice travel all over the country, and unfortunatly, a lot leaving on Sundays. 2 years later, well I am still with the same company, but with my latest promotion, travel became just a little more predictable, and so you may, for the better or the worst, see Donna and I a little more often, or at least hear about us more frequently :o) Not that we did not do anything, but it seems that everytime my schedule was clear, no one was doing anything. This June I went for a 7,000 miles solo trip to Inuvik, Canada on my BMW GS 1200, and all in 13 days.

Then, Donna and I just came back from one week in Southern Utha with the FJ.

Thanks guys, glad to hear the group is still going strong. This weekend Donna and I will be at Alpine lake - Slick Rock area to relax and do some hiking, so Hollister is out, but we definitely looking into doing Slick Rock in August. We thinking about also going in the Bridgeport/Bodies area before that as well. I'll post something if confirmed.
As for the trailer, this thing is just awesome. The tent is very comfortable.Yes it does have a mattress, and we no longer have to argue if we have enough space to pack Donna's curling iron.

Hey Alain! Great to see that you are doing well. Got to admire anyone willing to ride 7000 miles on a bike, must be some great stories. Look forward to catching up with you and your family soon.
