So the photo of the dust cloud was taken in Grand Mesa national park on the way up to the top of the mesa. Turns out there were 30ish miles of dirt road we traveled on getting up and back. The surface was a combination of gravel, dirt, and oiled dirt. Nowhere in all of this was a posted speed limit sign. So that dust cloud was taken while we were doing roughly 65. At one point a series of washouts created some surprising and spectacular jumps. Barely had time to tell Lizzie they were coming.

The whole experience was so fantastic I don't have the proper words to describe it. At one point we stopped to take a couple photos and grabbed this one where apparently the wheel was full of dirt and emptied itself as we halted.

Also heres a shot of the view from the top.

Jeepers Creepers and I took the day off from doing my home renovations and we went down this morning. He was nice enough to bring his truck and trailer for the cost of gas. THANKS RICK!

After trying it out by crawling up trees and over the guy's house, I decided to buy it. It is now safe and sound back in NH.

that thing looks beastly. 4.7's, 3 link rear, 37" stickies, major bob, tube incorporated through the body...I bet it will feel quite at home at Field and Forest. Nice grab.

 

[LCCRUISER]

Thanks!

That's pretty much why I bought it, for Gretchen's and other private land events. I'm looking forward to Moose Mtn at this point.

[LCCRUISER]

From the Craigslist add looks pretty solid with nice components. I'm just surprised I've never seen it living so close by.

You might be a redneck if your rowboat doubles as your truckcap

No, Not even close. Stickies are awesome. The first time I saw them perform my jaw dropped in amazement.
