esCarpade 2016 - Day 3 - Lakes Entrance to Foster to Phillip Island

Early morning in Lakes Entrance... Booger Mobile looking a little muddy...


This side too!!


Windows covered in dew...


But still looking the goods!!


Shouldn't these wheels be green and silver?


Tragedy befell Damian - the handle from his trusty bag ripped off...


Another patron of the motel mentioned to Damian that the rear tyre looked low...


Checking all the tyres...


Pumping up the rear tyre...


Looks better now!!


Breakfast in Lakes Entrance...


Bundy Bear...


Bill and Bundy...


Carmel clearly wants another child, Bill!!


Ben doing driver briefing...


Heading onto the course - Susan dancing to the musing blasting from Booger Mobile!!




Damian found Nemo!!











A water crossing with a photographer...































Always a selfie!!








Travelling through downtown Sale.




A nice XC being driven by a young fella... good to see the young blokes taking an interest in old cars!





















































Permission to buzz the tower?

Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full...

WHOOSH!!


Artistic shot of Adam taking a shot of something...  more good luck than good management!!




















Logging trucks definitely have right of way!!











































Stopping at the fun stop...
















The boys in blue having a chat...







There must have been something very interesting in these boots... synchronised boot diving!!



Uh oh... that doesn't look right...


Doing a bit of traffic control while a quick snatch is performed by 1TON.











Spectacular views from steep and winding roads...



















Arrived at Foster for lunch, sadly too late to attend the school visit, but did witness a remarkable reunion as one of the entrants realised that a volunteer making lunch for us was her old year 5 teacher!!



Back on the road after lunch...



























Another wombat having the long sleep...





























































A quick stop at a cabanossi stop until it was deemed a little unsafe due to the highway traffic...



























Stopping at the afternoon fun stop in a less heavily trafficked location...






Epic selfie!!  Damian, Adam and Donna from the Witches of esCarpade.  Bill tried to jump in at the last second but mistimed his photo-bomb!!


Back on the road, heading to Phillip Island...

































Past the grand prix track...

















Adam and Damian celebrating their arrival in Phillip Island by having a wee port!!


After a big day of driving, the boys now have a rest day on Phillip Island to wash (clothes, Booger Mobile, themselves), check that slow leak (the tyre, not themselves) and recuperate ready for the final three days of esCarpade 2016!!
