A get away end of March for a days south of Moab, UT. Thanks to @Adamalli for setting it up and letting us tag along
checking for a spot to setup baking cookies in the Kimberley Kamper and enjoying the view surise on our last morning as we sadly have to head back to Denver
TR2 is a really cool system, and it does work incredibly well. However, all of the instructors at the LR Experience Center at the Biltmore in Asheville,
LR Experience full day is on the list, just need to find time.

TR2 is reactive, so it reads the terrain and adjusts accordingly. On average, it takes less than ten feet for the car to figure out what its driving over and to adjust accordingly. Really neat tech that works well, and definitely has its uses. I tend to use it mainly on the road as well as gravel and dirt roads, and sometimes snow.
Coming from a lifetime of activities that have (or should I say had?) no space for automation (sailing, mountain biking, driving MT on and off road), it's really interesting, even without the Auto mode. In particular, stark contrast with MT Rubicon where all the control is in your brain and muscle memory. I'm just learning the ropes here, pushing it to the limits of what it appears to be able to cope with (if you don't know where they are, how do you know how far you can safely push them?). So far, haven't reached any.
I should know better than to forget a saw when venturing out in North Idaho. But the air suspension came in quite handy today when we had to clear a downed tree across the road. We lowered the suspension to Access Height while lifting the tree from off the roof. Happy Easter Safari!
Dang that's certainly a lot easier than enabling access height in non-air-sprung vehicles - which is basically "find a lot of rocks and put them in the back".
Spent the weekend with a hundred other Land Rovers at the ROAV club event, RAW in Virginia. Had a great time, and put my truck through its paces. A tweaked passenger side step was my only casualty and will now force me to ante up for proper rock sliders.
Quality time with my son!
Got pretty hairy around the back of the Western Escarpment Drive at Mt Mee. Marked as easy but this little bit was definitely a little more difficult. VERY slippery
Also little bit of an obstacle down the track, looks small but the combination of the ruts, mud and slope width ways made it difficult to stay out of the ruts and not drag the door on the rock to the side.
And the final climb was more rocky than usual, may or may not have dragged on a few!
Very fun. Need to bring mates next time.
