Well, Steve, no I don't think I was too young fer that... ;)

I notice you left John Fleck out of it.. he started it all, I swear.

I didn't take ONE photo of Erika.  (and no one knows I was out of film
anyhow...)

Nah, like you said, why blow the facade?

Erika is Caine Covert's significant other.  Caine's one of the SNORT (Sweaty
Nipples Off-Road Team) members, and has a very cool, though rather trail
worn, Scout.  I have respect for a man like that.  :)  So did John & Joel..

The fun is in playin' the game... not whether you win or lose.  In some
things, this is all too true.. and the fun is ALL in the game...

Hmm.. here's a story...

In HS, we used to "cruise drag"... heck, we'd cruise in Dan's Scout (now my
'72) or my Luv... just driving around was kinda fun, but it always got a lot
more interesting when someone would notice we were following them, and
decide to try to "ditch us"... shoot, half the time we had no desire to say
2 words to the occupants of the car, but the fact that these persons thought
they'd lose us was irritating... so we made sure we NEVER lost a car.  the
fun was all in the game of hide & seek... I always won.  :-)

>P.S. The Scouts at the NWBR were ten times as good as "Erika", believe me.

Including Caine's... 4" Trailmaster on a spring over, 38" Swampers, 392,
wide T19, 4.56s w/ lockers... big ol' SNORT banner... 

Y'know, I find this funny coming from the guy (Tom H) that sent me an email
chasising me for reading e-mail in the airport at SLC on my way home from
Sacramento instead of enjoying the scenery.... I can't win!
