Last Minute Wheeling Trip
Well, played golf with a bunch of buddies on Saturday, which turned into a fire at my place in the evening, where we decided to go wheeling on Sunday. Ended up leaving pretty late cause the evening activities ended up extending well into morning activities. Anyway, went up the regular local wheeling place, mud creek. Was muddier than earlier this year thanks to the snow we got on the may long.
Things went well, wheeled to the top lookout without any issues. On the way down Kyle got caught up in two different ruts and ended up sideways on the trail. Travelling up the creek a bit and it started to rain pretty hard (sucked for Adam with no top on his bronco)

We decided to turn around as it was getting pretty tight and it just kept raining. Adam had a bolt come out of his starter, so he borrowed a bolt from my newly built rear tire carier. On the way out, Adam slipped into the wrong rut and almost flopped his truck, he tried backing out with us holding him up, but because he didn't have lockers I gave him a tug back. This is where he started to overheat, so we parked the trucks in the mud hole while we waited for him to cool down (never would have done this back in the day of spring under, mud terrains, unlocked, no turbo). We ran into a guy, chatted, and went on our way. drove trough a few water puddles at the end of the trail to clean the trucks a little and were on our way. a bit into the road, and Adams newly rebuilt rad blew up, so I towed him all the way home. Good trip, I am pretty pumped with how my truck works now, and gotta say am really impressed with aired down 36 TSLs in the mud.
Cheers,
Deny

Looks like a good time in the muck. Is that the trail that leads up out of the valley SW of the Taylor Bridge? Sure looks different when it isn't bone dry.

yeah thats the one, this trip wasn't even that bad, it was a little slick to make it fun, but usually in the spring, each hole is headlight deep, and hammer down just to get through.
