Camping with the Blazer

I just wanted to share some pics with ya'll on the board. The kids, wife and I are on spring break. I had made reservations for us at Garner State Park weeks ago. As spring break approached I knew I would have to get the Jeep running to take it on the trip. Well Thursday night The Jeep was back on the road. As luck would have it, the battery died Friday night. I got a new battery but I was a little worried that we would have problems on the road. Saturday morning I made a call to my brother Blizz (board member) and asked if I could borrow his back seat. Being the cool brother he is he let me borrow it and we were able to take the Blazer. It is about 100 miles each way. The Blazer performed flawlessly. This was the first time we all had done anyting together in it. The kiddos really liked it.

Great pics, and looks like memories that will last a lifetime.

Yup I did wave at your stop light. Didn't get to eat at the DQ. Kids were asleep and I wasn't about to wake them up. How's the shop coming along?

Re: Camping with the Blazer

Congrats Mario - that is awesome.

I haven't had many trips in any of my trucks - I spend too much time working on them to enjoy them. Hopefully that will change this spring!

That DQ is worth waking the kids for.

My shop is coming along slowly but surely. Making a little progress here and there, I picked up a perfect sized roll-up door off of CL yesterday. I'm not quite ready for it, but the price was too hard to pass up.

Re: Camping with the Blazer

Awesome trip! I can not wait for my two boys to be old enough to take camping; especially with my blazer hauling us into the wild.
