Just an amazing day here in the Rockies as Bimberly Cava and iPyle Donner joined the Rocky Mountain Rivian Club and two Rivian employees on a trip from California to the factory in Normal, for an off-road drive up Geneva Creek Trail. For those of you who haven’t met Bimberly Cava and iPyle Donner, you may want to read about them here. To recap, both Bimberly Cava and iPyle Donner are struggling YouTubers that have channels, "I'm not Narcissistic, just look at me!" and "Introspective Reviews", respectively. The day started off with a meet-up at the RAN station in Broomfield, CO, and the look on people's faces as Bimberly Cava and iPyle Donner hung out the windows, evoked both joy and utter confusion/dismay on the faces of the club members. Various folks were gathered as we met at the trailhead, and it was great to finally meet @zefram47 and @CUBldr97 ...

I hadn't seen Bimberly Cava and iPyle Donner since my delivery post back in March. I noticed right away that iPyle Donner was sporting some new Ink...

Bimberly Cava was also looking dashing hanging out the passenger window in her new Lulu top...

As one-way traffic came to a halt on the narrow one-way trail, we stopped for a bit to allow a Nissan Rogue to realize it wasn't going to make it up the trail. We got out of our vehicles and chatted. Someone mentioned a different YouTuber in a white R1T was directly behind me in line, but I didn't recognize him...

When iPyle Donner became frustrated with the hold-up on the trail, he tried to radio ahead to see if he could skip ahead in the line and join the Rivian employees ahead of us, but the trail was just too narrow for him to pass.

As we finally moved on, the scenes of stream crossings and magical peaks dominated the landscape...

When we had almost reached the top, iPyle Donner suffered a "Deflation-Contusion" from one of the tree branches as he hung out the side. He started to deflate rapidly. Bimberly Cava sprung into action and grabbed the Rivian First Aid kit and immediately attempted chest compressions...

Unfortunately, due to Bimberly Cava's lack of upper body strength, she could not compress his chest. But alas, her one talent came to save the day, she started to sit and pose upon poor iPyle's chest and had immediate success re-inflating iPyle Donner to his original self

Of note, during the chest compressions, I noticed Bimberly Cava had some new ink of her own...

At the end of the trail, Bimberly Cava and iPyle Donner decided to make an under-body inspection of the off-road panels, and they reported all bolts were tight, with the exception of two loose nuts....

@opnwide I haven't literally laughed out loud this much in a long time. Thank you for making my month!

The ink on iPyle Donner and Bimberly Cava was absolutely epic! The look on the real iPyle Donner was priceless.

When are you taking this show on the road?

Can I be your stage manager?

?

Amazing. I was already sorry I had to miss the meetup, and now I’m even more sorry! Looks like you all had fun. Hope I can make it to the next one.

?. Thanks for the kind words. Humor is the spice of life!

Well, here is the link to the Rocky Mountain Rivian Club which has, and will have I’m sure, more content for future meetups.

I never in my wildest imagination thought I would say this or even type this, but I think I need to smash some glass with Bimberly Cava.

Thanks, @opnwide!

Seriously - this has to be the thread of the year.

@Administrator is there such a thing?
