The trail was up in the Kawarthas. Picard Lake. I read the trail report when I got home and it warned against going through this particular water hole. Guess I should have read the report before hand.

i think I did that trail last year. But it was dry. Let me know when you go out. I’m hoping for at least 3-5 times this year

Solo trip today. Got to test out the CDL and traction control combo for the first time. Awesome

Long drive empty roads heading 2 1/2 north to Ontario Canada trail system



Some hill climbs but very easy for the rover. I’ll have to try something harder next time

It’s been extremely hot for a week straight. No rain no mud



No winch needed today. I thought about testing it but bugs and heat changed my mind



Bit of flex




A bit of air up time nitrogen style

Man I wish we had some sun, my group has a 4 day trip up coming, long range forecast is for rain and flooding.

But the Disco looks great and the seems to be pretty nice area.

all sun here looks like next week same thing 33 Celsius and humid.

I did 2 easy trails. I was going to try one a bit harder but thought about it I was by myself and maybe not a great idea

I admittedly travel solo more than I probably should, I don't shy away from too much but I try to run harder stuff with at least 1 other passenger. A trusted spotter is paramount. My wife and I have a good system: I drive the vast majority of all the trails and she can enjoy the sight seeing or wildlife spotting, then if we come up to something I am not comfortable running without a spotter or I get in a bad spot mid obstacle I'll get out and she will drive through with me as the spotter. I'm just happy to get out so I don't have any issues not driving the "hardest" stuff, I just file away the line that worked for next time and I won't need spotter the next time in most cases.

Waiting for a few photos to download from our quick get away Sunday night so I can post/write up.
