Beats My RAV-4

We interrupt this series of vacation-related posts to brag about a recent form of transportation: Blackhawk.

Oh yeah, it was totally cool. I, however, was a total dork. I was so overcome with excitement at the opportunity that I believe when I thanked the Colonel offered me a ride, I said it was "rad". There may have been a shaka sign involved. I really don't know where it came from (though a friend here commented "1987"). Yes, I'm embarrassed. No, that definitely won't happen again.

The Blackhawk kicks up a lot of dust. You can see a colleague ducking away in the photo below. One of my colleagues ran off the helo the wrong direction and nearly got tackled by a protective friend. Gotta watch your head.
