I've dropped out of the rock crawling scene...
« on: May 28, 2009, 04:21:27 PM »
Well...I've sold my crawler. I'm in a divorce right now and moving back home to Alaska.  I fell in love with the rocks in Colorado.  Moab was pretty cool but Colorado had my favorite terrain.  Last week the crawler sold, I'm getting authorization to transfer my probation to Alaska and that is where I'll be moving.  I lived there for 18 years, 2 years in korea, 1 in Oklahoma, and the past 3 here in Colorado.  I'm pretty pissed it all came down to this.  Never thought I'd sell that truck.  I've had it since right before I went in the military and it meant alot.  Oh well, it's just a truck.  When I get to Alaska and get all settled I'll build another toy.  I'm planning on a Gen3 and guttin all the drivetrain.  14b/60...sb chevy, th400 runnin to either an ORD doubler or atlas 2sp.  I'll have to see how the money is.  Soo...you guys wont see much of me for a while and I'll never be in the rocks again.  I've learned alot but let's face it...alaska has snow and mud...anybody with some hp and a heavy foot can wheel that stuff.  Whatever. :shake:

I wouldn't say you are dropping out but more like taking a break due to unforeseen circumstances as I have. You'll be back in the saddle when things work out and we'll see you then. Me I'm gonna call a friend that still has his and go wheeling White Mountain on Sunday. Of course I'll be in the pregnant dog seat but it's all good.

Sorry to hear that man. If I were in your shoes I would have a seriously hard time worrying about wheeling any longer because I'd be too busy fishing and hunting all day every day up there. Good luck and catch a big fat Silver Salmon for me.
