    Denis,

    You should have posted this drive earlier! :(( :(( X(
    Now, after the today’s drive I need to spend time with family tomorrow.
    I am always keen to drive in the (even early) morning, before DO I used to have only morning drives with my previous TJ.

    Looking forward to have morning drive(s) another time. :ymhug:
    Sadly next week I am off to Switzerland and Germany, will probably try my :drive: skills on snow :-ss

    Hi everyone 😀
    i have smile today like an idiot all day)) Because it was unbelievable cool off-road day or actually two days (without sleep with friday off-road)
    I tired like a hell, but satisfied more than 100%
    First thing – when i saw name of this trip “Rollercoaster drive” couldn’t understand why)
    But when we concur top of the high hills and started riding up and down, up and down on the top and long time, it hard to describe, but its reminds me exactly rollercoasters :drive:
    It was controlled madness!!!
    Second thing – amazing morning sun rise and when we been on top, it was unbelievably nice landscape view!!!

    And now i just wanna say many thanks to Denis that he made this mad trip!

    Thanks @Alex and @Deva for joining this drive. We were just 3 which is less than minimum for a drive like this, nevertheless we covered a long distance in a short time, also with looong breaks for endless chit-chat and good time spent. Alex – great job done, kept the pace well and we rocked intermediate level speed! Thanks for the trip report and pix as well!
    Deva of course flawless driving, the only one with no stucks 😀 and great as second lead adjusting the route when I was going too crazy )))) Finally I got my dose of adrenaline after long time. :yesss:
    Now that my rig is rather driving than not, more of these to come 😉 stay tuned to DO website, there can always be a surprise )))
