Will post my EMS thoughts pertaining to the dragon as I did on FB

As the resident rural and urban Paramedic this is not a place you want to mess up where you need EMS and a trauma center. I’m sure both counties do well but you can’t beat Father Time in the fact it takes them a Long time to get to you and it takes a long time to get to the hospital (if you don’t get put in a helo with starts at 25k) just take it easy and have fun 🤩

Still waiting on USPS to deliver my intercooler that was supposed to get here last week… but other than that I’m super excited!

All maintenance done. Didn't get all my bolt-ons in time but I'm still ready to go. Just need to change out to my other set of wheels.

Good luck and safe travels to all who are going this year. I know I said it last year, but hopefully next year I get to pop my dragon cherry.

For those who will be around Thursday night, I'm going to try and find the stargazing lookout on the Cherohala Skyway. I'm planning on heading out around 730ish

Oo if I'm still alive after another 9h day of driving I'm down. That being said after todays 10 hours of driving I might very well keel over dead after switching on the stickies. Also I'm sorry to my new york and jearsy brothern, but fuck your states. Yall are batshit crazy on the roads. I literally never want to drive in new york ever again and the fact I have to drive back through it might be the death of me.

That's a very tempting offer that I very well might accept. You said you'll be getting to your cabin around 6ish right? That's when I'll be getting there ish aswell but I need to get checked in and drop off my fiance to the room since she'll want to lay down and chill after the long day. Then I should be good to pop over to get the wheels sorted.

What roads you take down? 87 the full way to nj17? Upstate ny is lovely but it gets a bit aggressive down here closer to the city. And the roads are just trash with the potholes.
