i just read the December 03 issue of Petersen's 4W&OR and the letter about the ultimate adventure. i will try to write most of it but this is going to take me a while so aber with me., "I wouldn't go on the Ultimate Adventure if you paided me! This whole "groupie follow us cool people thing" is way too submissive. How do you determaine who has a "great personality?" I susprct it is someone who is just thrilled to be in your presence and won't show you up too much on trails. WHo made the rules? The off road Gestapo? Are you planning to have any fun or just rush though as many trails as possible in a vain attempt to impress your humble readers and lesser followers you have aloowed to tag along? Good luck to the "invitees". As long as they do as they are told, not break badly enough to get left behind, or heaven forbid, whine about anything. They should have lots of fun."

"P.S. Please send me an Ultimate Adventure sticker for my mother-in-law's Minivan."
And the editors responed with
"We think your letter is self-expanatory on how we determine who has a great personality. The Ultimate Adventure isn't for everyone, but judging from the amount of entries we received and how happy the readers were who we picked, we figure we'll keep it around for a while. And no, you can't have an Ultimate Adventure sticker for your mother-in-laws minivan; we figure she has more sense."
WOW do my hands hert. now i think this guy should get his ass beat for running his moutha about the UA. And for calling all of us who hope someday we have our chance to be in the UA, "lesser followers". that really makes my blood boil. I hope one of the guys that live in CA beat this guys ass bad! I'm so mad right now that i can't even say anything funny about this. lata stu
