Christmas Road Trip!!!!

Took the truck up to St. Cloud, MN (75 mile trip) today. First ever road trip for my baby... I helped my brother-in-law move up there a few months ago, but I was hauling all his crap in my truck, so that doesn't count . My suspicions were confirmed: trucks make for great road trips! We loaded 5 passengers up (me, 2 sisters, my mom, and our dog), and went to visit the relatives in St. Cloud. I knew this would be a great chance to grab some pics...


Anyone else going on a road trip this Christmas season with their truck?

Here she is, guarding the driveway. They've got 1\7th of a mile of dirt road for a driveway- which means really long burnouts!

Here's their new-old house. It was built in the late 1800's, out of granite. It was just professionally restored before they moved in, and is now on the historical registry!

Here's the view from their front porch... sand parking lots make for fun donuts :D! They're surrounded by woods and prairie, with a nice little lake in the back yard. Lucky!

Off-roading trails right next to the house? I couldn't resist!

Thanks! We visited the brother-in-law's church (where he's the children's pastor), and I was proud to see about 1\5 of the 100 vehicles in the parking lot were trucks ! It's a fairly conservative part of the state (two guys behind me in church were discussing the latest guns sales at Cabela's), so they've got an abundance of trucks... my kind of town!

Looking good Stars. I made a little road trip yesterday with the family for Christmas (200 miles round trip), but was stuck driving the wife's Tahoe, nice, but just not the same...
What kind of headache rack do you have???

I got it off of craigslist. It was on an F-150 , but after a thorough purifying ritual, I think it's OK to use . I put on a coat of bedliner, so it looks pretty nice.
