I just got back. I got slapped with a hail storm. It was so bad I had ice pack on my truck and the ground looked like it snowed. But then the sun came out.

I'm soooooo down to do this again. There are camp sites there. First come, first serve. And free. I'll post some pictures when I get home. I had to stop for some street tacos.

It had started to rain and the temperature dropped from 58 to 40 degrees. It was hard to tell at first if it was hail or snow. But I quickly realized it was hail.

There were thousands of cattle. Apparently that's what you do out here. Raise cattle.

I hear you. I have five payments left on this girl and don't plan on having anymore auto loans anytime soon. I love the new TRD pro Tacoma and 4Runner, but I plan on outfitting this truck for my needs. She has 140,000 miles, so I have a lot of life left in her. What year is your Tundra? I think we have the same motor.

 

[Justin_0237]

Yes the pros are nice! I still have a auto payment unfortunately we got my wife a 15 tundra to pull our trailer. My tundra is a 2006 with 140,000 miles as well. And mine is the v8 version but they do have a v6 version as well in some tundra models
