From the land of World Cup

Greetings from Berlin. The world (except for the US) is going crazy for the World Cup and I'm here on work. No, I won't get to go to the games, but every place has a TV set up and good crowds. Tomorrow, Brazil (the last Cup winner) will play Croatia right down the street. I've seen a lot of Yellow and Green people and Red and White people. They aren't English, so I'm not expecting any trouble...

Cape Lookout and Sand Lake


Patrick and my FJs at Sand Lake

A couple of firsts this weekend. First, I bought my parents' tent trailer from them. So, yes, I am fully RV capable. My dad drove it out last week, so with it available, we had to use it. I was able to get a reservation at Cape Lookout State Park.

Second, after reading a post on the FJ Cruiser Forums about off-roading at Sand Lake, I looked into it. Turns out this is close to Cape Lookout, so why not do both? I put out a post and Patrick from Hood River answered the call; we now had two FJs in the dunes. Good times ensued! Check out the pictures, and here is the video:
