It snowed!
Just a tad,no mammoths seen around yet,but enough to have fun with!
:)
After Moab we drove back to Colorado;first stop was Billings Canyon.
Random sketch of Dorothy & Toto,blue pen & Photoshop.

Here're the pics (of course I didn't take them!) of me climbing up the Escalator-I made it!!!-in Alex's Disco (35",full Toy conversion,etc etc etc)
My first time with a 4.0 V8 and autobox
:)
Lovely!!!
Sorry Alex for the scrapes on the cage!
Finally the first pics from the summer trip to the U.S. for the 2007 LR National Rally.
The chance was just too good to say no,plus I found a flight at vvv good price (thanks Muriel)
so I just packed up and flew to Denver,CO,via London.
Keith picked me up at the airport,and we left the day after from Longmont in the Rovertracks Disco,destination:Moab!!!
Yeah,we had some spare days before the Rally (this year in Montrose,again CO) so he thought
a short trip to Moab was mandatory...
Rockcrawling in Moab!How cool!
8-))))))
After +6 hours driving,crossing the Rockies through Monarch pass,we arrived at the Sand Flats Recreation area, 2 miles east of Moab,and met Alex and Larry.
Being very late and dark I had no idea of the scenery around us until I woke up the morning after,and then my jaw dropped.
RPR wrote once:
"In summary, Moab is incredible. To all who have not been: Quit your job, sell your house, do what you need to do, but go to Moab. Your life will be better for it."
I totally agree.
The pics just don't make justice,you have to go there and see.
Trails we did:
1)Fins & Things
2)Steel Bender (night ride)
3)Hell's Revenge
Here I was lucky enough Alex offered me to grab the wheel of his Disco truggy and give the Escalator a try.
(thanks man!)
Here're a couple of random videos of this obstacle from youtube.com:
Pics of the NR in Colorado will follow (almost) soon...!

I spent the last weekend in Val di Susa, close to the French border, to meet my friends Mandy, Mike, GM and the convoy of Alpine Rovers from UK.
This year we also met Neil Watterson, Land Rover Owner Int. staff writer, who took part in a brand new LR3; look out for the next issues to read his article!
We camped in Granbosco, and of course enjoyed the trails, the weather and the great scenery.
All the photos taken with the little digi-cam I bought last year:page 6 and page 7
P.S.
The Cube is in truck cab configuration
:-]
4 photos missing from the "river album"...here
I ordered 2 enlargements,went to the photo-lab and-guess what?-they came as good as they look on the screen...
Having the film developed,scanned and imported through Photoshop may change things...I try to make digital versions the more faithful to the original ones.
