This afternoon I heard my front gate open and someone said "Hello". I figured it was a salesman and was disappointed that my wife and kids had taken the dogs to the beach. The dogs love cornering people that enter our yard unescorted. When I came out, the guy wanted to know if I knew who owned the XTerra parked at the curb. We started chatting and it turns out that he was Eric Lyde (aka Slas), the current president of NORAC -Nissan Off Road Association of Colorado. Apparently his brother lives right down the street from me. He said he just had to come find out who had the snorkled X. We had a great chat and he took some photos of us and my rig. He also said he is very involved with the Gone Moab event, and that they are looking at expanding it to be held in different locations, calling it Gone Overlanding, or something like that. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
