Entries in the Gang Chronicles Category
Growing up I made some lifetime friendship bonds with 12 other guys. As we all hung out together pretty much 24/7 we began to be known as “The Gang”. Still to this day most of all keep in constant contact. This category is a collection of stories I have written of memorable moments from our adventures together. I feel very blessed to have such colorful characters in my life such as Skippy, Scooter, Sean, Jason, Mark, Gary, Trish, Jeff, Wayne, Kevin, and others. I hope you enjoy these entries even half as much as I did writing them.

This is a photo of the sheet of paper we used as a travel log during the road trip. Some things are pretty funny to read again. It does help us remember what happened, as the trip is pretty foggy to all those involved. Especially the week we spent in Vegas but only remember [...]

This van was one of my favorite vehicles, it could hold three mountain bikes inside and still have room for their riders. It went off-road like it was made for it and never broke down. Sometimes I miss the Van.Skippy, you will be happy to know, this is not another story about you.
