You can use the paint program on your computer and reduce these to make them dialup friendly. :P

Nopeâ€¦..If you look real close you can see the windshield post behind the maroon `34. In the 1st pic in this post it's the 2nd from the right.

I think I have this pic thing figured out, maybe still not dial up friendly, but if they get to small you lose the detail.

How many total miles did you put on for this adventure?

This year was about 1200 miles. My speedo is slow so it's an estimate.

My MPG was from 20 to 28, depending on the wind. This was out on the Hwy, where I know the miles between fills. The gas bill was still less than the motel. :roll:

Post by: 31Rodder on May 20, 2008 4:13 pm: Wow 1200 miles. So are you doing up a story for street talking.

Post by: Tom on May 20, 2008 6:04 pm: Well it's 700 miles round trip from Bis to Rapid. Went east past Wall on Friday and on Sat south down to Edegmont. In the hill's you don't go anywhere in a stright line. :wink: Maybe not 1200, but over a 1000 for sure!

I'll be doing something for street talkin' using most of the pic you see here.

Post by: Tom on May 20, 2008 7:32 pm: No, for me it works best to go west on I94 than south on HWY85. Between Bowman ND and Belle Fourche SD there is a hole lot of nothing!!
BTW gas was $3.50 in the hill's and it's $3.70 here in Bis.

Thanks Tyrel, best I can do with my point and shoot. :)

I talked to Ron from Aberdeen, he said he put on a little over 1300 miles, so I guess for me it was at least 1200.

I didn't know if Morty would post them on the Hop Up web page, cause he posted pics from our trip last year
