willie,
might as well go - we got a bunch of vehicles as recovery vehicles and if you are concerned about breaking your rig then just go and play on the little stuff and watch me break mine. no im not planning on it but it happens EVERY TIME. im currently stuck, sideways, on a hillclimb at the same place i want to take you guys. i just spent all evening trying to get un-stuck and we decided to wait til tomorrow when we have daylight and my neighbors jeep with a winch. (why does it seem that i always have to wait til daylight ?! )
im actually sitting on 2 wheels right now. i caught a rut while backing down a hillclimb and my rover decided to take a 3 point turn without asking me. result: rover VERY precariously stuck. stuck like with air showing under 2 wheels.
at least there isnt a lake in sight...


let me know if you wanna go, if only to watch me make a fool out of myself...

Somebody needs to get some video footage for those of us who can't be there.

I will be there and will try to bring both cameras. I fear that our stock Rovers might not be able to out perform the built up Jeeps but I am willing to try. See you there!

this is your last chance to get in on this half -assed, totally off the cuff, not at all organized wheeling trip.
RSVP or just show up.
