2010 "Griswold" Christmas Tree Adventure...

Post by dualsport »

The other day we packed the kids into the pickup and had a regular "Griswold" family Christmas tree adventure! :D

I've always gotten a real kick outta how small the bed is with these crews... and I've been the butt end of a few jokes too :lol: but this was one was a real doozie when we put the tree 'in the bed' of the truck...

I think it was around 15 feet? I trimmed it to 12 feet in the end... (for reference, the top log is just a few inched below 13')...

I hope that was a hint to yourself to store it somewhere. I do not recall seeing many CCs that color.

Hobie's truck was that color. Put black wheels , lightbar and sliders on it and they would be twins :)

Hobie was building his Toy when I arrived. I remember seeing the photos now.
