Last day - Nyngan to Gilgandra


It was an easy drive today, well relatively, just some gulches, gullies, dips, corners, tree lines roadways, creek beds and potholes today. Plus some trees. Trees after days of dusty infinity and scrubby underbrush made for a picturesque vista. Trees with rough bark and wispy branches, ancient looking, a little spooky but a comfort after endless horizons.


Onwards to Gilgandra. The esCarPARADE through town - all 50 plus vehicles - was an amazing sight. Onwards to the Speedway at Gilgandra.


An itch many esCarpadians wanted to scratch? Getting on a Speedway with our cars? You kidding. Every kids dream with a hotted up car. A great way to finish for the team, with WAR FM doing a live broadcast and Prime coming to film it all.
And on the Speedway for a lap before being entertained by drivers practicing with their stock cars and fender-benders.

All the esCarpadians!!

A final lunch. Some goodbyes. esCarpade drawing to a close...

    Congratulations to everyone for a fine effort this year... The fundraising total was impressive, and worth of a bunch of accolades!!

    Good to see that most people made it through without too much carnage.

    Thanks to the trusty blog-writers for keeping us up-to-date, Josh and the team for all their hard work, and the esCarpadians themselves!!

    Looking forward to joining you on an epic adventure in 2010!!!!!
