the CNC-4x4 club goes a coupla times a year at least, usually a summer and a
fall trip. Next trip is sometime in July I think...exact dates are at
cnc.4x4.org.
Although not sure if my dak will be Tellico-ready by then...here's hoping!
About seeing me on the road, yeah my truck definitely is hard to miss! I am
always being "spotted" by friends around town, ("I saw you over at such and
such the other day...") which good thing I'm not carrying on any illicit
affairs or anything, I'd never get away with it!
