Reality Bites - Plus Shameless Plug

How about you just send a few of us to do all of that in your place and we could provide you with a really nice photo album (could photoshop you in?) and issue a nice report (would even sign it for posterity!) for your enjoyment?

Pretty sure it would only cost you expenses and a few other highly questionable expenditures? It will be just like you were there!

Ha ha. I've already been all over the world by watching YouTube videos.

You do have a pretty awesome list though, Sir.

I'm in northern NV right near the CA border. We have a new (to us) type 3 that we want to contract out with a crew. I'd like to be on that deployed out to inevitable wildland fires we'll have this year. With all this moisture we've had this winter there is going to be a lot of fuel out there.

Your killing me here with this thread based on your area. 63 and I'm loading my toys up and moving to Gardnerville in a month. Looking forward to plowing through my bucket list.

Cool! Gardnerville is growing like crazy and getting invaded with white platers but still a nice area. I'm about a half hour south east. Hit me up when you get up here.

Wow, your dad did it at 74? Good for him! Did he enjoy the trip?

I would not do it on a bike but maybe I should try it in my truck. I'm converting it to a flatbed and have a couple side boxes for it now. Will put the camper shell back on the flatbed. Also going to cut out a pass through from cab to camper. Should be a great rig for that trip.

Your truck would absolutely be perfect for the trip.. You gotta do it, get inspired... Plan it! You only live once...

Yeah, we had the time of our lives and totally knocked it out of the park. Don't worry about the bears or mosquitos...

Here is our trip... Hard for me to watch it with dry eyes...

A couple years ago I had the f it talk with myself. Had several project cars, boats an other things. What could I actually finish and what do I need to finish for myself. I chose 3. My Daytona, 93 F350 that built my place and my 63 VW Notch. My son stepped in and said he wants the Crusader tunnel so it's still here.

Let’s see the notch!

That looked fantastic

Let’s see the notch!

Next time I dig it out of the shop. It's buried and covered in the back.

I would say to the OP as one reaches this age you realize what has been accumulated is missing the one thing you seek the most and that's time; You can't collect it and it's running short.

It's odd as when one is young you seek to accumulate "Things" as one ages you seek to get rid of the things you've accumulated.

Cleaning house of things that aren't relevant to you now is a good feeling and often leads to a new and refreshing direction.

My Dad’s desert racing friends moved to Gardnerville in the mid 70’s. I spent several summers there. If you are into dirt bike riding or general off roading……… There is a lot to see. It’s actually very well located for short weekend trips. Lake Taho is just up the hill. (A big hill. Lol) And plenty of places to go in the sierra mtn range overall.

It’s been a long time since I have been there. I hope it still has the small town charm. If I remember correctly, they also had a Basque population from Spain, so I remember going to this family style basque restaurant almost Everytime we went to Gardnerville. I think it was because my Dad and his friends would dare each other to eat the Rocky Mountain Fried Oysters. (lamb testicles) lol
