Great pics! Keep them coming. You guys will have to plan on coming back for our August run, it's a totally different trail and adventure in the summer.

And the infamous 100' mud pit, which only the best got stuck in!!! (yes, Wayne has it right, I thought I was done for after CDN_Cruzer got stuck, locked. Then I made it through NOT locked, followed by Mike (MooseCruiser) NOT locked... Not quite sure how that worked... Oh, yeah... 4200 RPM in a 3B - that's right... that's how we did it!!
So... Using the TEQ as an inclineometer
After Mike & I layed down a nice trail of veggie oil exhaust... LandBlazer just walked through it at idle. Then backed up to show us again, incase we missed it the first time... again, at idle.

And the final selections of my ~250ish pictures.
My on-the-trail-in-the-dark exhaust hanger made of two hose clamps (still holding!)
My end-of-bunny-trail second exhaust fix (piece of TIG rod! - still holding! - clean broke in half!) -Yes.... we took bunny trail home!
And finally - and most importantly... after about 1000 km... my fuel gauge reading. That's the same tank I left home on, which I had done over 200km before I left!
Thanks to everyone for your patience, tugs, stories and wisdom. This was my first "Real" wheeling trip (I've played around with Mike before). This is something I will never forget - and I will do what I can to get out and run with you guys again!!!
Wayne - I promise... next time I will have BIGGER HOLES in my tugum's, AND tow hooks! (and my bumper will be done so the 8274 can acutally be useful!)
Awesome run guys... just plain awesome... :

Oh, and special thanks to Dave for being my Navigator/Tugum hook upper/Guide/Encourager...
And the TEQ awards were as follows...
Romey - for being the first to get stuck... twice... well, actually it was more than twice, but I gave him the award on the second one!!
Crushers - For getting Romey stuck, and unstuck, and all the rest of us un-stuck all the time!
CDN_Cruiser - for REALLY getting stuck.
MooseCruiser... well - he already had one.. but let's say it's for making it through all the crap he did!
and finally.... SOMEHOW... Landblazer got one back at camp... for NOT NEEDING ONE DAMN TUG THE WHOLE FREAKIN DAY!!!!
Jeremy and Dave, PM me your address and I'll send ya one for being such good navigators......
