For all vehicles, be advised that Whitethorn (Ceanothus Leucodermis) narrows up the road in many places. If you are worried about the paint on your vehicle, don't use this road. :shock: Uuh, yeah. After spending well over 3k on my cars paint and some bodywork just a couple years ago, I can guarente...

LOL, that's pretty funny coming from you, Mr. GMR time-attack guy

i never fought the 2 ive gotten, one was for going 82, and one for 70 in a 45, i figure im just VERY lucky theyve never been around when im going over 100, so im more than happy to take the 70mph tix!

(and its Everyday hon', but close enough )

ya, its pretty cool, theres always deer n elk out in my yard, and Mcnuggets (chipmunks) everywhere! its really cool,and yer in the woods n on trails the second you go out the door. the nearest real town is Flagstaff,its small and doesnt have any buildings over 3 or 4 stories high! and not even a Mac...

this is my regular running trail out here at the Grand Canyon, south rim. Its 6 miles round-trip and i go out there about 4 days a week. So, i guess these are pics of a "trip" i take all the time, ha. but today is the first time i was willing to walk parts of it and carry a camera. Anyway....
