Meet Amber

Recommended Posts

tjhunt2 has been asking me to post my Girl

She has been a real back saver

I built her about 10 years ago while employed at Amber steel

That is where she got her name since they donated most of the steel

I don't know how many elk she has hauled out, at least a dozen

Maybe Tom will help me figure that out

There are not many places she can't go if I can get between the trees

I pulled her out of the garage yesterday, hosed off the dust and snaped some pics

Amanda, think maybe I need one of the small size stickers for the wind shield?

Hope you enjoyed

Thanks Mike for showing Amber. We will have to have a few beers around the fire some nite and try and figure out how many elk it has hauled out. It's up there alot more than you think. You still need a lower passenger step to complete her. :P
