Very nice! i had a feeling your Christmas Light setup would be as cool as your Tahoe lighting

Thanks. Yea this is why I don't have time for the truck , is because stuff like this during the holidays lol. Its fun but it's over now. Time to get back to the tahoe and finally finish it up this spring. (Well never finished but you know what I mean)

Not yet this year. Drove it to Homer and back for the funeral over the weekend. 250 miles each way. All hwy....except here our hwy is only 2 lanes. Half mountain pass, half flat long stretch roads. Tahoe did great, light luggage and just my cousin , me and the wife riding. No radio stations or cell coverage in the pass. So movies it was. Came back yesterday during the super bowl. First super bowl in my life I didn't care to watch. Was glad to hear the Pats got killed lol (I should've bet lol)


Overlooking "the Homer spit"

Alyeska ski resort @Bigbeardenali1992


Turnagain arm

Kenai area, mostly flat.


Been a while since I drove this road in this weather, about 8 years. Had it in 2wd most the way on 20s with well used tires, slid few times around a few corners passing some slow folk. Held a steady 60-65 when others were doing 50 or less....but made it the trip no problemo....I still got it, beast driving skills


It's been a slow and tough way to start the new year. But I should be back on the mod wagon soon again.

View never gets tiring that's for sure. At the end of that stretch of land called 'the spit' was our hotel room (grandma's house was a little crowded)

View from our room

At night you can hear the waves crashing
A little relaxing relief from a stressful weekend.

yea yea, i grew up seeing it but its still a nice view unlike anywhere in the U.S.

We're coming back in late spring to spread the ashes. Summer is beautiful here. Great place to visit, not live.

 

[Fosscore]

Killer views. No views like that here in Florida either. Take it easy man.

Man that’s beautiful. Oregon has places that are close to that beautiful but not quite as isolated. And this winter our frozen stuff stayed up in the mountains thank God. Our city has no idea how to handle snow and ice. Nice to hear the Tahoe did good. And that you still got the skills!
