Beautiful scenery. Was that an abandoned mine shaft?

I’ve kinda been wondering what kinds of trees are in this forest you’re wheeling through?
Look like maybe some Eucalyptus near that drainage you camped next to. In other pics looks like a combination of conifers and deciduous.

Tasmanian temperate rainforests - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tasmanian_temperate_rainforests.. its a bit of a mix of blackwoods, cypress, myrtles and eucalptus I think... beautiful stuff to wheel through.

Possibly? It's a long abandoned mining operation of some sort. Where we camped with all the rocks was also an abandoned tin/osmiridium mine as well. the others went exploring through the mine tunnel system and got a few photos

Looks like a great spot and pulling cable, too.

Sorry.. been busy livin' life..

Not much to report on the piggy front. Frank is still kicking along.. no issues or anything .. got some play shoes being china treps (good ride) but havent got to use them in anger yet.

I had to do some trimming and stuff to make them fit without catching on the body:

Nice! Wanna see you at the top as well, or at least see your struggle more. Gotta talk to your camera guy. Great to see the adventures!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Pig lift front wheels as much as yours. Or maybe they’re doing it while wheeling and can’t tell?

Wonder if maybe that suspension doesn't allow the droop that the leafs do...

I know right! Im working on it though. I think my front coils are too stiff, and front shocks too short.. but this is the next piece of the puzzle to figure out.

Makes for great pics and exciting videos!
