I always knew Camaro5 was about family, and this trip proved it again... My wife and I made a mini vacation out of my return drive from a class in Gillette Wyoming. We drove west across Wyoming (our plan to meet up with a Cody Wyoming owner got put on hold due to priorities, but I would love to come back up and eat at the Irma Hotel Resturant again... So maybe in the future Wyoming T/A... Hope your car arrived)...and then South through Yellowstone part of Utah, into Colorado, and on down into New Mexico... I had the pleasure of meeting IceCreamguys in Rock Springs Wyoming. Andrew, it was a pleasure, and you are welcme any time you make it to Texas near Austin... I promise there wont be any Camaros running from you... We have a regular Friday Night Family meeting in San Antonio, 12-18 Camaro's is a regular night......We also had the fortune to meet up with SSRS2010 and his wife whom I had met in Austin several months earlier. The second day there, we went to brunch at an amazing 150+ year old mexican food resturant, and then headed out to the White Sands National Monument... Wow, Just Wow, Good People, Good Food, Good Scenes, Good Times.... Pat and Debbie, our doors are always open...and you are always welcome...Robert
The drive from Montrose Colorado to Las Cruces was amazing. We started out with an 11,009 foot pass (Red Mountain Passif I'm not mistaken) and then another pass close to or right at 11,000 feet above sea level... The car still ran well despite the altitude. I wouldn't want to dyno it but it was still responsive.
Debbie was gracious enough to remove her Mitsubishi from the garage to allow Brandi to park in the comfort next to her new best friend.
Reflections of a Chevrolet
The run out to White Sands allowed time for the Incredible lunch to settle.
We passed the White Sands Missle Test Range on the way to the White Sands Muscle Test Range
The donuts are easy on the driver and even easier on the drive train and since we were over 700 miles from home, I wasn't looking for any broken axles... This was my wifes first experience in a muscle car doing a donut... I told her to hold on, dumped it and among the howling of the engine, the roar of the exhaust, I hear this hysterical giggling coming from the passenger seat... uhhhmmmmmm... she is hooked...
Here is an awesome image to frame... If I could only fit the other Camaro on my wall....
I come around a corner and there's this Camaro blocking the road... ohhh, I get it photo op....
As always, pink pig was keeping a watchful eye out with me... Pink Pig now has a cumulative 450,000 miles or so in four vehicles... She Loves the Camaro the most but has one gripe... In no other vehicle has she ever slid off the dash.... Now she flies off backwards and ends up in the back seat...Pisses her off when she can't see out... I guess now via her explanations,
I understand the problems seeing out of a Camaro if you not in the drivers seat...
Adding man made beauty to the natural beauty of White Sands National Monument...
Pink Pig took a much needed break after eating all the donuts, and tried some dune sliding...
