http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeM-GjUuPDg short video of it about 8 minutes before the brakes went, I'm sure you'll know why they went after watching it

I just love the scenery this time of year

that dog was jumping back and forth between the sides, good entertainment for the little bit we were behind the truck

the fog was pretty dense at some points

the camera could see much farther than we could

then it just lifted, it came and went almost randomly

those leaves made the Eagle a tad on the squirrly side at moments

these pictures were taken at Thunder Ridge, amazing view from there

we got below the fog, and this may be my favorite picture out of all the ones I took

Reminds me of the Eagle in the Grass Animal Planet-like stories we made on the Eagle Nest

Bus from the 60s maybe?
I want to buy it, and make a real hippie BUS, instead of out of a VW, everybody does it to VWs, I would do it to an actual BUS

Learn to down shift into a lower gear and use the engine to slow you down instead of riding your brakes all the way down a hill.

That is what I was doing, had her in first or second most of the way down after the brakes went
didn't go over 30, I do however need new rear shoes after using the emergency brake as well

and pump the brakes to slow you down instead of standing on them

well, the front brakes still work
BigBuds1 is helping me fix her tomorrow

hardest part will be removing the dash to replace the headlight switch
