Fun In The Rain

[k4azy]

I wanted to take the truck off-road so bad yesterday... I loaded up the kids and we crawled through woods and thick brambles to a part of our property we'd never been to. We found a huge beaver dam and some deer trails and about a ton of mussel shells alongside the creek. Had a great time for a rainy day...

One thing I found is that my Cooper ST-Maxx's are useless in mud. On the return trip I couldn't clamber up a slight incline to get back onto the driveway. Fortunately, I was able to go around it and crawled straight up a rock retainer wall that no property owner in their right mind would try to drive over...

Here she is nice and muddy.

Nice man. How tall was the retaining wall?

I'd say a good five or six feet... it's not a solid vertical wall but a steep hill of riprap that slopes down from the driveway to the floor of the woods.

Actually, I guess it's taller since it's higher then the roof of the truck when parked at the bottom. I dunno but it was fun going up it.

After about a half dozen attempts to get through the mud I looked over at the rock wall and said, "hey kids, I have an idea". My 6yo said, "Yeah, your idea is to kill us all."

That's usually my wife's response when I have an idea!
