Maybe this is why the British play cricket, this is NOT baseball weather.

Coal Mine Cruiser Classic. The first day in the woods. As you can see in yesterday's POD, I decided (at the last minute) to take my stock Toyota Tacoma into the woods of Pennsylvania rather than my 1974 Land Cruiser. The decision was based on many factors, comfort, safety for Samantha riding with me, cost of gas, and finally how much crying would I do if I dented or deeply scratched the Taco. In the end safety/comfort won....I am thrilled with how the truck did.

My new rear bumper is a little too tight. A couple of jacks and it fits better ; )
