Tolland is just north of me, and I have well over a foot of snow on the ground. If i was going I'd bring a chainsaw

If you guys run into any trouble, I'm 30 min away, let me know I'll come help. Got some driveways to plow for now

Had a blast, wicked thanks again. I'm going through all the videos now, hopefully have them on youtube tonight so you can edit them up. Video sound quality is awful because a)my music and b) its a cell phone, but I did get the whole run records, sans any of the recoveries, cept for jays. However, did have a few pics.

Just wanted to point out, happened to go with the only 2 guys who pic worse lines than I do

Somehow with that massive machine, got stuck. Hmmmmm, how did he get stuck there?

Oh right, because he decided to ignore the perfectly good path in front of him, and went swimming instead!

Thanks again to Jay, Bill, and ric for a fun day out

So, I was hoping I could just make a special list on youtube or something to group all the videos together. As it turns out, I have no idea how to use youtube. So my channel is TheMrSneck. All the clips are from the tolland run on 10/30. Whiskey, feel free to snag them and make a real video. again, when you decide to check them out turn down your sound. my phone hates my music, as well as the branches on the softtop. Enjoy!

He's got a nice tight looking little JK there. Are those 37s on it? Looks pretty ballsy. I like his license plate.
