I can't let the thread die yet.........(waa chow sound) I really need to keep that camera with me. On a average trip through I spot at least one bump and total so far theres about 10 in the dalles that I know of and I'm not even looking. We're like bump capital of the gorge (Also I think cause our ford dealer was a powerful force back in the 60's and 70's I'm told.

I passed this 72 tonight, not quite as clean as it looks.

I've always thought that was a bad place for the spare. :doh:
