They have made it to Las Cruces, stopping to pickup some food. Here is a random picture from Interstate 10:

I'll be there tomorrow. I'm 2 hours from Mason. Can't wait!

It's even cheaper in Austin. 3.09ish I think. What's the going rate in California at the moment?

80 MPH speed limit in Texas

Marlin and Christine completed the 42 hour road trip and have returned with pictures! The Crawler Truck is currently undergoing some drivetrain work and was unavailable to make the event, so these pictures are just of main camp. As always they were very warmly greeted by many familiar faces. In fact the first thing Marlin did when he arrived was repair the event organizer Perry's rusted carburetor! Marlin spent a lot of time fixing rigs and unfortunately no one offered him a ride to get some wheel'n/action photos. What's up with that Texans? Ha ha just kidding! Enjoy the pics from camp and looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2015!

And here is Marlin doing what he loves, fix rigs! This rig belongs to event organizer Perry Lowery, and his carburetor was really rusted up. Just look at the all the rust on the needle! Marlin showed Perry how to clean it out and the two had a fun time turning wrenches.










Here are the "cabins". $50/night.
