Wheeling Tomorrow, Saturday Aug 4th (1 Viewer)

Hey you slackers! :dink:

Myself and some other people (including Larry\Blue FJ And Radical Kurt\4runner) are heading down to Dan's (MIOBI Land) tomorrow for 3\4 day of wheeling. Meaning that we don't intend on getting there until about 10 AM.

Medium level trails I suspect unless we follow Kurt, which will probably mean a good challenge for the rest of us.

Anyone that wants to join in should just come on down. Hopefully, it will rain gobs and gobs and it'll get slick and slippery.

Larry in his blue FJ, Jeff in his monster Jeep and me in my 4runner.
Carnage Kurt almost brought his rig but didn't and rode with Larry.

Although it's been dry for quite a few weeks, we had a pretty good rain just hours before we hit the trails. In fact, I put my doors back on thinking it would keep on raining but it stopped.
So, the trails were pretty fun, fairly slick but only a few inches of mud for the most part.

We did run into a couple of trails that were blocked by fallen trees but Jeff had his chainsaw and cut them up and moved them off the trail. Very cool of him.

We stayed on the trails for about 5-6 hours and had a pretty good time, nobody broke, nobody even stuck. We'll have to try harder next time.

I have a short video of Larry in a couple of spots but nothing of Jeff or myself. Oh well.
