Four Days stuck in 1st and 2nd gear low Range

[Deny]

Pick of the gontlet that we cleared to become Miss Daisy's Driveway (you'd have to see it and get the full explanation to get what I am laying down ,
Picture of my shoe with a creek in the back, and the first river crossing where the water was pretty low.

Nice. One day I'll make it out.

 

[Deny]

I;m Sure you will Martin. Here are a few more just for being stuck in the office on a Friday night, good news is as i finish my daily report I am heading down to tumbler again, only this time it's for the big 20km run up a mountain.

No real cruiser content, but gives you the idea of the kind of trail this is. mainly an over grown old logging road with the odd wash out and river crossing

 

[Deny]

Few more

Nother three. August sure has a lot of flowering plants.

Dammit, hopefully I'm closer for next summer, this looks like a great area.

That's because it is. Remember when we came in and found those weird statues and the cabin that said we were in some dude's crosshairs? And we wondered where the road we found came in? Well, that's the same area and if we hadn't turned L when we turned to go into the OJAY area we would've hit the valley but come in further to the W.

How do you like towing the trailer setup like that in those type of trails?

Tell you the truth, most of the time I don't really notice it, but it does add a little to the game in that you do have to be a little bit more technical with it and have to think a lot more. You also have to realize it is quite the burden sometimes and it does get my truck stuck on this trail where otherwise I would walk through no problem, but you just have to be OK with it and get the winch out. Its all about patients in those type of situations.

Also I would always just drop it so I didn't have to haul it into unknown places because it could turn a minor issue into a big deal (like when I got swept down stream, I cant imagine what kind of s*** show it would have been trying to unflop a trailer in a raging river especially if it were hijacked and jammed under the truck somehow).

So really if it is exploritory in nature I wouldn't take it with me (unless I knew ahead of time the trail was OK from other people) or I had a lot of time to deal with issues it could cause me on the trail.

Plus I don't really need it, I got tonnes of room in my wagon, I took it the first time to carry a lot of stuff for Adam as they had his bronco just jammed full, then the second time I took it to help grab a load of rocks to put down by the river flood plain where we were having problems climbing out of the river because the water and soft material were getting chewed into a big hole (not really to make it easier for us to get out so we didn't have to winch, but to stop the erosion we were causing as we could see it getting punched out further and further into the bank).

Got photos from Adam, so thought I would post a few. Cheers,

 

[Deny]

nother few

 

[kim]

that's some beautiful country!

 

[Deny]

Thanks Kim.

In seeing as our page has been a bit dead lately and I just got some brand new swampers and black rims for the wagon here are a few more pics to get pumped up about wheeling. Will just have a little hunting coming up and possibly another trip in here if things line up good before the snow starts flying up here, although it is 31 degrees today the summer we never had this year is finally arriving

Few more enjoy

I bumped into your Dad the other day, he was going to help install a windmill or something. It was good to see him again.

 

[Deny]

Yeah he mentioned you were rounding up horses or something like that. I was down for a wedding at the time and my dad actually had to go rescue my wagon in Agassi because the bearing on the alternator blew up for the second time on my trip down. Then the rebuilt one I re installed on the way up blew up after 50 km, so good thing I had a spare that my dad rescued the truck with that had a bad vacuum pump and it got me home. Another extra part I have to haul around with me in my kit of spare parts cause now I don't trust the damn thing.
