A big thanks to all those that helped make it such a great 2010, my friends and family, my fantastic customers and most of all my wife who hasn't changed the locks yet. She's a 100% sport to come out on many of these adventures with me despite wanting to relax on a beach somewhere. Soon my love. Photo's courtesy of a plethora of good pals, thanks for having a camera handy!

Prison for Sandy Murder, huh? Good job.

Cody checking his makeup while his pit crew fixed the jeep?

I'll see if I can round up pics from this year....will definitely be a shorter list than yours though.

 

[Bart]

Love the pics and wow, you did some great adventures. Those make me want to buy a Cruiser more than ever.

 

[hedonist]

you live the life of a KING! Well deserved. Great photos. I'll throw-up a couple later....
I think most of my photos from last year belong on a different type of forum

 

[Brian P]

Well, I can say I was on at least one trip with you Kurt.

FWIW all, Thats me on the cover of the paper, Not the murderer or the horse or the guy cleaning up stuff...

 

[BCGPER]

You should dew eeet....

Those make me want to buy a Cruiser more than ever.

Then six months from now some lucky guy will be buying a well built Cruiser for ten cents on the dollar....

Here's how I started my year.


It got better, though.

Hells Revenge at EJS with Bart Jacobs as our fearless leader.

Behind the Rocks for the first time in about 10 years. EJS again (first time I'd ever went)

Trail monitoring at EJS. Turned out much cooler than either Brett or myself expected.

A little Herzog from Green Day.

Cool shot that I stole from Herzog.

casual kid in St. George in Oct.

Cool thread! Too bad I don't have anything to post. Let me know when that relic run opens up to 1980 vehicles.

...Well, I can say I was on at least one trip with you Kurt...

Not true, we also did the Sand Dunes in February, I just didn't have any pictures of that run on my computer. There were a couple of others I left out for the same reason.

...FWIW all, Thats me on the cover of the paper, Not the murderer or the horse or the guy cleaning up stuff...

The horse lol

Great recap Kurt...

As I look back, I realise that I did not get out nearly as much in 2010 as I did in 2009. I think the biggest factor is the house that we moved into this year, and the numerous projects that we undertook to begin making it ours. I'd probably have nearly as many 'home project' photos last year as I did off-road adventure photos.. So, I'll pad mine with multiple photos from some trips.

January: Wasatch Cruisers 5 Mile wheelin

February: Pony Express Trail w/ UXOC
