Spicy ride at Golden Mtn Park

[BMThiker]

Trails were pretty slick from rain the day before we got there. Easy trails became much more difficult. Winched out of this predicament using a snatch block uphill and a bridle attached to a winch extension line to rear bumper to pull the rig back onto the trail.

STRONG work from my recovery crew

Rear flex was working

I think your bride caught the spirit of the pucker moment perfectly... lol.

Glad that things worked out just fine in the end.

Perfect sentence structure.

@BMThiker , Golden Mountain sucks in the wet for sure! Thought DigDug was surely going over on that one! Glad all was well.

From my vantage point I saw the slide and then more slide and all I could imagine was him tumbling off the mountain as it was very steep on the passenger side.
The hundos did not follow. We backed out and found another way.

Worse now since there has been relatively 0 trail maintenance - kinda like old times but more ricks protruding.

that's why I like dry desert

I once slid like that in a Kansas Offroad park: the Blazer slid in 2 tire ruts, but 45 degrees off: front passenger and rear driver tire were in the same rut, the other two outside - fortunately, it was on rather flat territory

 

[DSRTRDR]

protruding ricks are particularly vexing

 

[Ol Yeller]

Wow I tought that was a goner, lots of pucker in the cab, and outta it!

I was excited but in a different way

Did a similar slide in a FJ60 but backwards. Steep, muddy, rocky road in NE AL running BFG KOs that loaded up with mud. Could not climb the road and in backing down with brakes all 4 locked up into a slide. Thought I was going to take out the rear glass on a tree but stopped just short.
