Darryl

Thanks for an excellent trip. A bit of everything, easy driving, Very steep tracks etc.
Also had great company on the trip.

Took almost 60. Some were a bit average but 90% of them turned out.

A very enjoyable long weekend - great country for sighseeing / driving and camping.

Looked like rain was going to be an issue, but in reality stayed away except for a very few showers that interupted nothing -and damped down the dust in the early part of the trip. Both Saturday and Sunday had perferct weather.

Heading down most of the spurs was the easiest approach, but going up them would be much harder - even in the dry.
Found an abandoned Rangie, which by the angle of its back wheel had suffered a major issue - TotalCare wasn't going to be much use stuck where its was. :( Didn't stop to look in detail as its wasn't an ideal spot to park........ \ Hmmmm steep.

Thanks Daryl

Thanks for a great trip darryl and good company!!
We had a really good time and interesting terrain was covered. Very interesting to see how life was in the early 1900's (or settlements for gold).
We had to get towed out of the B&B to start the old truck, but the starter motor will be going to auto-elec during the week, so we'll be back on tracks again in no time.
Once again, we all had a great time, and we are happy that Moni was really adaptable.
Luckily for everyone; last night she started teething about 12:30am - never mind. :cry:

thanks once again.....

She was very well behaved I thought.... no trouble at all

She wasn't that crazy about the hot then cold shower bit but who could blame her ?

Hope you both can make it on more trips..... raises the overall tone substantially 8-)
