Things went well, the wood pile is gone, now it's all split (we'll see how long it lasts...). Several concrete culverts were put in down in the playground as well as over past the entrance/exit of love crack (the area to the right of love crack where it's swap like). Camp ground was cleaned up real nice, a ton of trail signs were hung up, trees removed from crossing trails and much fun was had.
Thanks to all who showed up to help... Alot got done, and that was the goal. Lance and Erin, sorry I left before you got back up. I should have given you my phone # so you could pick up the wheels.Here's some pics from the playground work.
I did get my rig stuck a couple of times (we were out hanging signs and GPS's more trails).
I can tell you I really hate getting stuck in a hole half the size of my rig. Grrr. Fortunately, my cheapo winch is still working and so no big deal. Although I did learn hooking the winch hook under the winch is a bad idea when the nose of the rig is buried in mud.
And if you look closely, you'll see muddy water is being sucked thru the fan, splashed back up clear thru the vents in the hood.

Sorry I didn't make it down. Good thing there was 120V for your winch out on the trail.

You win the Sherlock Holmes award of superb observation!
Yeah, we wired all the trails with 120V and thanks to some good Samaritan, I didn't have to beat the switch on the bumper to make it work.
The switch just worked and so did the winch, thank you very much.Did I mention I had to turn around and also winch the next guy thru? (no pics of that tho).
