Thumbs up


Kristian and Jason- you guys did an outstanding job!! Absolutely a pleasure to meet and share this trip with such a wonderful group of people. Sorry I had to miss the final stop at the Locks- I'm back home in GR with time to just upload the first few pictures.
Thanks again for a memorable weekend- BTW, someone should make a UP Overland 2009 logo with an AMC Eagle somewhere in it....

Bluedog and Munchkin made back in under 8 hrs. or just after midnight. We logged 1064 miles for the 4 days. Great trip I'm downloading pictures as I type this. They will follow soon.

The U.P. is one of my favorite places in the U.S.
Can't wait to get back there.

I only put on 555 miles. I figure the Chicagoland folks put on quite a bit.
It was great to see some new area and meet some great people!!
