1997 Chevy Blazer S-10
Driver: Lance Longiotti
Co-driver: Amber Longiotti
Lance and Amber are our friendly and mild-mannered readers who made it to Ultimate Adventure by way of Medford, Oregon. The couple was a blast to have along on the trail. We all enjoyed the hissing and compressor noises from their rig's airbags, sure to be a UA legend. The Longiottis were incredible four-wheelers and did a great job negotiating and making all obstacles on every trail day. We also congratulate them, as they are expecting a child and still attended the UA-we are now expecting photos of the Ultimate Baby from this young couple.
