	Voted 10/10	Yeah - I was curious about that car-to-car comment. What happened to the lazy approach and beer-drinking plan? Did Haydar talk you into doing something crazy on Sunday? :)

	Hasn't voted	Oh yeah - we did some crazy stuff! Slept at same location as last time (thought we were going to get snagged for illegal camping but fortunately the ranger lady chose not to screw us over), got breakfast at same location as last time and headed home thru. same traffic shit as last time. Then Shirley cooked up some ribs and we ate like pigs!! Lotta beer too. :)

Looks good. How did you like the center knife edged section? Pretty fun, too bad the start is a bit loose.
