But adding a rocky mountain facade would certainly do the trick in seamless blending between the neighboring pavilions.

And, darn the luck - the pic of me trying to decipher your license plate has a terrible glare on the plate itself - guess I can't post it. heh

Not that there's anything wrong with that... Real Hummers have helicopter hoist points and full independent suspension with geared hubs, and have a lot more off-road capability right out of the box than any H2. They also cost double what a poseur H2 goes for, last time I checked they were somewhere north of $100,000. --<< Bruce >>--

Originally Posted By Chrisrails Excellent pictures! I'm glad you guys are having a good time out here. There is always a lot of things going on. It was neat to see the GM car displays while driving the Epcot monorail Saturday. I wanted to go check it out, but didn't have the time. I'm excited about the new attractions.

Rebekah and I decided to move to Flordia. And we thought it best not to tell too many people. And what do we do for work in Florida? Why, LP of course! I think that just about covers it. Any more questions Seriously, we moved because it would allow LP to improve. We have people who help out in CA now that can keep things going there (plus we'll travel there regularly), and now we can work hard on WDW. It's pretty much that simple. Doobie.

Originally Posted By Doobie Yeah, we moved to Celebration. So far we love it. A really nice little town. Right up my alley! Doobie.
