Okay, let me see if I can get the pics to work:





Here I am, takin' on the big mudhole. I am bone stock with ATs, not muddies...

It's pretty deep stuff...


Good thing Shadowman (w/ the FJ) had the forethought to put the tow strap on BEFORE I headed in there. It took 2 guys pullin' on me to get me out!


Gee, ya think my stealership will honor my warrantee now?? LOL


The OTHER Shadowman (w/ the orange TJ) helped pull me out. His tow strap had a hook on it. While pulling on me, it bent his bumper!



All in all, it was a good day. I don't think anything TOO major got broke, so that's good. Had a few minor things, though.


Thanks again for pullin' my stuck ass self out of the mud! If nothing else, now I have a reason to get a small lift and some nice new shoes!!

Very nice pics and video!

Had a great time yesterday folks - and great pics. I'll post mine within the next day or so - also got a little vid footage of Shellikins in "the pit" that I need to figure out how to post.

Thanks for a great ride everyone!

Shawn, thanks for showing us that other trail... if we went there later this summer when the ground was dried a bit, I think we'd be able to summit that hill. But, I think we'd have to make a small group of it, because it's so consistently narrow that there aren't many good turnaround spots. And, come to think of it, 4-doors would probably have a lot of trouble finding good turnaround spots (although they would probably also have an easier time with the steep climbs).
