looks like you guys had a good time.
snow ?
Didn't find any snow, but no one minded, cos it was a fun day.
Nothing challenging, but a good crew and good weather.

No snow, not even in the spoon drains. The track we found snow on last time had been closed, despite the dse website not listing it as closed.

The fog was awesome though.

Was bordering on spooky, in the burnt out sections with the fog added,
very cool

Turns out my oil consumption was somewhat worse than we had discussed, ended up being nearly 2l for 300km.

Think I'd better start looking for another motor.

Na, my engine might start stalling when I try to reverse and brake at the same time.

Besides my engine is fine, as long as I'm not engine braking, or trying to drive up a hill.
