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

Nice scenery Tom.  I like the pics big....(old eyes).

Is that your roadster hiding behind Plywood's?

Nope…..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.

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:

Wow 1200 miles.  So are you doing up a story for street talking.

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.

Did you take 83 down?  I always love seeing the old tin and old gas stations along the way when I go to Nebraska.  Nice pics.

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. :)
