  SPEAKER_05: Oh God.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_05: Well, Nick is with uh Camp Jeep.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'm the track manager over there.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_05: Track manager.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_05: So you get to wave the checkered flag or the red flag?
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_05: Yes.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_05: Or the green flag.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: All of them.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: All of them.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_01: All the flags.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_03: You're you're in charge, you're in control of the event.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: Uh pretty much, yeah.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_01: So a different company sets it up and then we come in and run the show for them.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_05: Gotcha.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_05: And so do you work for Jeep or do you work for a company that does all that?
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're just contracted with Jeep.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: Are you?
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_05: So how much homework did you have to do to get this gig?
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_05: A lot.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: So we've got to pretty much memorize everything about all the Jeep vehicles.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: So we've got to be spot on with our product knowledge.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, so first of all, for those of you don't know, there's a big track back here.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_05: You can't see it because the camera's pointing at.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we got a camera here.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_05: Anyway, uh that that track has elevation changes, goes around corners and does all sorts of suspension things.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, we have six different obstacles that you're gonna get to experience.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: We've got a log crawl, get to climb up some rocks, show off the suspension, and then we've got the hill climb.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's 13 feet tall, 30 degrees up and down.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: Showing off the traction, the brakes, everything like that.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_05: See, this is what happens when you're 27 years old, and you still have a member left.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_05: You get to memorize all that stuff.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_05: I like it.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, so how long does it take to go through the track?
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: Your typical ride will probably be about two, two and a half minutes.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_05: That's significant.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_05: And just as I predicted, here they all clock here.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_05: Oh yes.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_01: They know where to go.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_01: They're coming right through here.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_05: Um what kind of vehicles you got over there?
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: So we have the Wrangler Rubicon, Gladiator Rubicon, and Wrangler 392.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: So the 392 has a 6.4 Hemi in it.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: We know.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_03: So you're going up that 30 degrees and coming down real fast.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you hear it.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: But it's in idle.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_03: Oh.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_03: It's only idling up there.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_05: It's got so much power.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_05: That's right.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_05: What is it that makes this thing so popular with everybody?
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_01: I think you just actually get to get in and actually feel the vehicle and experience what it's like.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: You don't get to drive it.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: You do not.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: So we have professional drivers.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: There is the ride and drive outside where you guys can drive the vehicles.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_01: But over here we have drivers for you.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: Jeeps out there?
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_02: Did not know that.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: You're a Jeep guy.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't know the Jeeps were out there.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_02: I came in the back door.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: Oh.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so indoors will drive you around, get in with a professional driver, they'll tell you about the vehicle and what it you're driving over and how it's handling, and then outside you get to hop and you're going to go.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_02: You can do the things you can do with the suspension and things.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_05: And it gives the opportunity for those that are in there going for the ride to ask questions.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_05: Correct.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_05: So all of the drivers have to be well schooled and well heeled at their jobs.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: At the the articulating suspension.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: And and they have a line that's already backed up.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: We do, oh yeah.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_02: Didn't take them long.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_05: So since you're well schooled in all of this, and um obviously you can vocalize, uh, what exactly is a uh disconnecting sway bar and what does it do?
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: So it is held together by a magnet.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: Once you disconnect it, it basically just allows the front tires more room to travel independently.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: So the Rubicon.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_05: Why is that important?
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: So you you're creeping the wheels on the ground so you're getting as much traction as possible.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: So you're not sitting there spinning one wheel or anything like that.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_05: And uh there's just a couple of buttons that you need to push to make that happen.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's just one right in the middle.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: You'll see it as a sway bar.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: Once the lights on, it's disconnected and you're good to go.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_05: You know, the Jeeps today are so much easier to handle all of that stuff than they used to be.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_05: Because if you remember correctly, yeah, and I had a Jeep one time and it had the locking hubs, but you had to get outside and go out there and lock them, unlock them like that.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_05: Total pain.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_02: And if you didn't get the pressure off of the axles and stuff, you had to go backwards and lock it in.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_05: Martha, get the pliers out.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_05: I can't get the thing to I can't get the I can't get it to turn.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_05: Martha's our go-to.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_05: Always.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_06: She's pretty good.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_05: So today, there's so much of that is controlled by electronics in the dashboard.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_05: Or should I say the screen.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_05: So explain, explain what all is that you can do in the four by four Wrangler.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: So with the Rubicons, you get the electronics sway bar disconnect like you talked about.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: There's an off-road plus button which will change the gearing so you can go a little bit faster in four low.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: And then you also get the locking front and rear axle.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_01: So, like you guys were talking about, you literally just push a button now and it locks.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: So you don't have to get out, turn the hubs, or anything like that.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's all controlled by the computer inside.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: And then obviously you get the backup camera, you also get a front camera, so it's kind of like a built-in spotter so you can see where you're going.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: Has the guidelines so it shows you where your wheels are going to end up as you're turning the uh steering wheel and everything like that.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_05: You've got it made now.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_05: We did all the hard work before you came along.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_05: We appreciate it.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_05: Thank you.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you're welcome.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I was I think it's great, and I think part of the reason that people like that so much, you know, particularly like now, we don't have a lot of rock climbing down in our part of the world.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_02: We've got a lot of mud and a lot of sand, but to to go out and actually be able to climb the hills and and get into something that'll do the articulation is it's kind of unique.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: You don't have to here in Houston anyway, it's probably 50, 60 miles to the closest places you can do that.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_05: Back in the day when we belonged to the same organization, they had an event, and uh it was in the spring, no, it was in the fall, and uh it was at a ranch out in the Texas Hill Country.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_05: And they had uh a rock climb that was very tight, very close, and you had to really know what you were doing.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_05: And after a couple of days of practicing through this thing, it worked so well, you know, it was it was fun to do.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_05: But that Jeep Wrangler killed everybody else.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_05: They couldn't hold a candle to it.
• 7:45
  unknown: Uh-huh.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_05: The Jeep Wrangler has come such a long way since its inception in World War II.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_05: And um being able to disconnect the sway bar, it was a huge thing because the way that this particular turn, it was a 180, and you go up and it was tight, and you go up the thing, and then at the top, then you'd come back down the other way.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_05: And talk about putting all of the pressure on the entire suspension and the engine combination, it was uh it was pretty impressive.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_05: And of course it always won.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_05: And there was one girl that said that we did she was told, do not venture out into the river.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_05: You can keep it up next to the bank, but don't go out there.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_05: What'd she do?
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_05: She went in.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_05: Sunk it.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_05: They took the air cleaner element out of it, shook it out, left it to dry out there, cranked it right back up, and away she went.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_05: It's true, it's truly amazing that that that vehicle is.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_05: And I you know we have great Jeep clubs here around the Houston area.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_05: Lots of people.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_03: You probably have them up near Lansing, too, and all through Michigan.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, there's a bunch.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: Do you own one?
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: I do have a 21 Rubicon myself.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: I could have not get one after doing this.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_03: Sand dunes in Michigan, they got Big Bear out there.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_03: You have got big bills, server like sand dunes.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_03: I've been out, I was a little kid, and they got those uh dune buggies where you put 868 people in them.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_03: That was a blast.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_03: I yeah, like I said, I was a little kid back then.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_03: Good stuff.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's a lot of fun.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_05: And you know, the other thing is too, is that uh other Jeep vehicles have similar equipment on them to be able to do things that you normally wouldn't do with you know other vehicles.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so each model has at least one trim level trim level that can do something equivalent to what we're doing here today.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_05: And maybe not should have.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_05: Uh-huh.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: I can do that.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_05: I'll bet you you've had a timer too with your Wrangler when you first got it, didn't you?
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_05: Oh.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_05: Did you ever get it stuck?
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_01: I have not, thankfully.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: We leave that up for the corporate ones.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: You've got to work on it to get it stuck.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I really have to try it.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta go out in the middle of the river where you're not supposed to be.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_03: Next year, do that, and then next year come back and test them.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_03: I'll tell you guys all about it.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'll record it so we can see video.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_03: I'm thinking that folks get in these things and they test them.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_03: I got the big shot up.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_03: They they buy a Jeep, whatever uh features they want on it, and the first thing they're gonna do is I'm gonna find a hill.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go find a hill.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_03: And it could be the side of a median.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_02: And then the next I'm gonna find me some big curbs.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: Now, all you've got over here to drive is Wranglers, but some of the other Jeeps, like you said, could basically do this.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, like the Grand Cherokee is a big one.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, so that has the air ride suspensions, you can actually raise and lower.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: All of them are gonna have the steel skid plates underneath, so you don't have to worry about the undercarriage getting damaged or anything like that.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: But everything besides the grand wagoneer can do this.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: That's more luxury.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and it's got the longer wheelbase, and there's a lot of reasons it can't get that tight, but I'd like to see the Grand Cherokee.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_02: I like the Grand Cherokee size.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_02: I like that vehicle.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_02: Uh it's got a little more, the older I get, the more I appreciate it than what the Wrangler would be.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, it's uh for what I do, the Grand Cherokee would be just fine.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, you can take it off-road and you can get a massage while you're off-roading.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: Best of both worlds.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_05: David, you didn't hear that, did you?
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_05: You didn't hear that.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_05: David just bought two Wranglers.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_05: Okay.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I'm sure he did.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_05: Can't take you anywhere.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_05: Okay, let's get back to your job for a minute.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_05: Did you did did you did you did you start?
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_05: Uh where did you start with this?
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_05: Did you start, you know, taking tickets or how I mean how did you get to being the traffic?
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: Did you go to Michigan State up there?
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: I did not go to Michigan State.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_01: So we started, we had a one-off event out in um Warren, Michigan.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: So we brought everyone from the factory so they could actually drive the vehicles that they built.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_01: Because surprisingly, a lot of them haven't even sat in the vehicles that they built.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: So we brought them out to show them that we appreciate them.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_01: I was a spotter, so I was just doing this on the course on you left, right.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_01: And then I worked my way up to a driver, and now I'm the track manager.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: And how long did that period of time take?
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: So I started when I was 18.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: 18?
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: Nine years.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: About nine years, yeah.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: Good job.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_05: And uh how many cities do you visit?
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: We do anywhere from like probably 10 to 15 a year.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: What do you do the rest of the time?
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: This pretty much keeps us busy.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: So auto shows start in probably about Septemberish and that carries us through to May, and then we'll do some state fairs in the summertime for RAM, like we have the track back here, but Oh, the same company then.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: Same company, yep, we're one and the same, so we run both of them.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, okay.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: Like Chicago starts next week.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_01: Chicago comes right.
• 12:34

  SPEAKER_05: All right, uh, time now for Mr.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_05: Mars.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_05: We're gonna talk about uh the five scenic roads for spring trip planning and driving destinations.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I kind of thought that, you know, some of these are a little far off.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_02: We didn't just stay in Texas, so you might need to have a little more time to make some plans.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: And uh so I wanted to start with the Blue Ridge Parkway.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_02: Now, a lot of people have heard of this.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: It's in Virginia, goes up through to North Carolina, and it's often called America's favorite drive because they're in the spring, flowers bloom, the mountains shake off the winter, and it really greens up.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_02: 469 miles from the start through the group to the great Smoky Mountains National Park.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_02: Goes through a lot of ridgelines, overlooks, valleys, you got dogwoods, red buds, you got any kind of about any kind of foliage you want to see in the northeast part of the country is there.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_02: Now, it is rather curvy and it does get crowded, so it's got a lower speed limit, but it gives you a lot more time to do relaxed cruising, to see some things, and uh it's a great place to go in the motorcycle or on your cavutibum.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_02: Then going on to the Sun Road, going to the Sun Road, that's actually the name of it.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_02: It's in Montana.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_02: Now, this is part of the Glacier National Park, and it's kind of a one of the dramatic drives in America because of the way it opens and closes during the winter because the 50-mile route crosses the continental divide at Logan Pass.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_02: So you get a lot of views, you get a lot of uh road edge of the road tripe driving, and then you're gonna be.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_02: I don't need that.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_02: I don't need to be on the edge of the road either.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: And a lot of that's because of the uh the waterfalls and the melting ice, and it kind of gets you some narrow lanes and some sheer drop-offs.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_02: It kind of keeps you focused on the road.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_02: Then for something that's a little more relaxing, go back to the other side of the country, the Natchez Trace Parkway.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_02: Now, this goes through three states: Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's 444 miles.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: And it's part of an old corridor that used to be used by Native Americans and early settlers whenever they were going across the country and exploring.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: Now, there's really no commercial traffic uh in this on this road, and they've got general curves and it's peaceful.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's a nice, easy drive for long cruising and very relaxing.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: You can stop, take short hikes, you can pull off into scenic uh areas and turn around and enjoy the whole destination.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_05: You ever done any of this stuff?
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: So I've been on part of that parkway and uh part of the Blue Ridge, a part of it.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_05: Becky go with you?
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_05: Uh was that another girl who goes.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but she was with me.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_02: We used to get to travel quite a bit.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_02: Um also been on part of the Pacific Coast Highway.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I have too.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_02: The PCH.

  SPEAKER_05: Yes, I was there with you.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_05: Love you.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_05: If you remember correctly, that was a Mazda event that I'd really like to forget, to be honest with you.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_02: I did until you just said that, and now it's all coming back to me.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_05: Now let's forget that.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_02: So the PCH, you know, I really want to go from the top to the bottom of it.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_02: I really would like to do that.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_02: It involved liquor, if you want to large quantities.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_02: So you go down the PCH, it goes from Southern Calgary, it goes down through Big Sur, and goes down along the uh ocean cliffs.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_02: You got Crashing Surf, you got a lot of horizon views, and with the spring, it's kind of less tourist there than there are during the summer, so but you also get a lot more greens on the hills and on the sides of the mountains.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_02: And areas like Bixby Bridge become more enjoyable because the road's a little bit more driver centric.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_02: You can play a little bit more on it.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_02: Then uh the Texas Hill Country Willow City loop.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_02: It's uh it's a short loop.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_02: Continue on, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: I'm trying not to.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: In Fredericksburg.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_02: So this is a short loop outside of Frederickburg.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_02: But what it makes it so neat is whenever the blue bonnets are blooming and stuff, that's really becomes colorful.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_02: And this particular road is on private property.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_02: Now, it's not paved per se on most of it, but you can kind of cut through this uh road and it brings you in between two highways, and the landowner just allows this to happen, but you can't really stop, you just drive through it, and it's really very scenic, and it's considered a great place, particularly with the blue uh blue bonnets, whenever they're all blooming out.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_02: So that's just some five drives that you can start thinking about because the some of them will take a little planning to get to and um to have fun on.
• 28:09
