or, what about spending Saturday night in the area and pick it up that night and then we can just jump to Colorado Springs and run down 25. I am just talking out loud right now,
i still need to ask him again if it is ok to take / buy from his scrap pile.
i will get back to you on it.

i was just going to take it to dexter

if we are going to go by there i should go with you, its my families land (since like the 1850s) my great uncle (uncle ernie) is the one that owns all that land and the vehicles.

i will let you know, if definetly can not go to my house right now.

whats funny about that is that truck has been in colorado since the 20s and barely has any rust... i wonder how fast texas can finish it off?

if we need to i am sure we could camp out at the ranch... i would just need to call him

Ernest is a BAD DOODE they do not make people like that anymore. hell it would be cool to just stop by and bull**** for a little while even if i do not take a vehicle home

go watch and old john wayne movie and then imagine chuck noris beating the crap out of him... that is ernest (well use to be, he is pretty chill now)

here is the link to some photos i took when i was up there for my grandmas funeral http://picasaweb.google.com/jcooperc...doOctober2007#
the land use to be my great grandpas (the national park next to it was his), before that his parents were homesteaders in the area, and my grandma was born in the log cabin that the truck is parked next to.

ernest and his sons own a construction company up there, they use to blast all the mountains with dynomite to build roads, now his sons run it and he just chills and runs cattle.
