Do it for the gram right? Lol. Sometimes I really hate the book face. The amount of shit, hate and discontent it causes. It makes people (women especially) think shits better than it really is.

Seems to be a regular thing. Super boojie overland stuff that never sees dirt. Spouses that spew all kinds of bs about all the great shit they do 2 weeks before they get divorced……. Clownish. Absolutely clownish I tell ya.

Then the social one up’ing happens. Local group ride happened the other day. Had a semi famous personality on it. Me being the FNG to the formal group, but knowing the area they were going like the back of my hand from 30years of it being my playground, I asked where they were going.

They couldn’t tell me where, just that i needed 35” or better and lockers……. Damn I’m thinking, these guys must know a kickass spot, holy hell…….. newp……. I couldn’t make the ride, but the video dropped………. And much to my angst (I looked like chris Farley pulling his hair while watching almost the whole time ) they took quite literally the easiest road across. Like I would have driven my awd sienna…….. in fact I was up there 2 months ago and a lost elderly couple was there with an effing rascal scooter on the back of their CUV……FML. Here I am shopping for crazy sas setups, long travel, and how to fit 35’s stuff for my 3rd gen thinking my rig isn’t capable enough to hang…..

Moral of the story, things aren’t always what they seem. Flexing on others for points is a real thing, even if it’s stupid. And, many of these localles that people talk up to be real man eater spots, don’t quite live up. Reality is stupid kills and you can flip over anywhere doing dumb stuff.
