Incredible time! Surf City Racing got in around 4am. I feel like I got to meet and interact with the majority of the teams. Full-on Surf City Trip report forthcoming, could be days, weeks. I'll post some random pics here and there. Special thanks to Bad Dog Racing for being a formidable sparring partner during the Three Team Fiasco and River Recon. Hopefully you got video and pics, because my eyes were glued to the terrain and my hands were counter-steering stop to stop most of the time. And to show what gentleman these guys are, Bad Dog bought Surf City Racing dinner. Class act all around.

Thanks to everyone. Great group of friends we have here!

And now since I buttered-up Bad Dog.

Two of the three River Recon Teams: Bad Dog and Kombisutra. Hey Kombi, Do you remember about the AAVs from your past? How about specifically the AAVR-7A1? That's your bus. Anyway:

Does anyone have pictures or video of that first water crossing?

The one on Masten Road? I know we have video of the first 5 buses and myself, but not sure about after that.

Kinna looks like the Dakar sand mand decal on the left rear corner of the bad dog racing bus. Go Jonnah!!!!

Graham, the ultimate gentleman, will help anyone in need... doesn't even matter if they have dissociative identity disorder and KNOW that, "...there is something out there worse than Satan himself."

Gene goes in for an interview. We'll all have to wait and see what knowledge this local Shasta philosopher had to bestow upon Gene. In the background, Richard performs some much needed engine maintenance.

I like Corey's bus:

Can someone photoshop that white car out? BTW, I have all of these in RAW and JPG if anyone wants them. It will take me a while to find them, but I'm happy to email them off to you.

I don't know, but I got you:

Do I get a redbull yet, Spanky? 16 hours of straight driving yesterday took it outta me, could really use one.

That's an awesome photo...they all are! I can probably 'Shop out that white car if you give me a day or so.

Yeah, we have video from the start of that...but not the whole thing.

Send the big 'un

I'll spend more than 2 minutes on it... ;-)

Ha! You beat me to it!

I gotta say guys, this looks an absolutely AMAZING adventure! Maybe I'll find a split later on this year... Been wanting one for a long time! I spent 8 years as a photographer in the Navy and would LOVE to document AND partake in this adventure with my own splitty!

Love it!
:D
