well Ludlow was awesome as usual there were about 6 toyotas there (all minis and runners) and about 30 jeeps and FS chevys...we rode the usual trails on day one and it was cool Franks XJ was overmatched as the ruts in ludlow are mega deep but we dragged him through........no one made it up the premier rock obstacle known as Grandview it was severely undercut and was a winch-over for sure(ill post a picture of our trail leader Kevin pullin cable)i was the last person with a winch over it so i had to pull 3 more trucks over including frank.........On the second day we ran a trail ive never seen before called the 8th mile it is basically a road that goes on for about 7 miles and at the end it keeps goin up hill 3ft deep ruts for about a mile this trail was incredible!!!!The XJ was WAY overmatched here i had to pull him about 1/4 mile or more and 100 yards of that i was winching us both forward 50 feet at a time....my truck has never been dirtier but after that we forded the Little Muskeegum River....this was so cool parking the truck in 2-3 feet of water and getting out and swimming around,having a mud-ball fight,and sitting on the tailgate with your feet in the river after this we used some river water to sort of clean off the truck and heading for home.......ill post some pictures soon....B
