| 4 Wheeling offroad at the peak of the fall
season |
| "Uh, we need a
little help up here". came a crackle over the CB. Then
someone said over the air ... "That Looks Scary..."
We weren't sure what we were going to see once we
caught up. Turns
out one of the guys mis-judged the trail slightly and
backed it down over the side. Luckily a big boulder
stopped him in his slide. Within a few minutes
we had it winched up as a couple guys secured the Jeep
by the rollbar just in case the Jeep decided to go
over any further as it was being winched. |

| The angle probably felt a little steeper than it was
to the guys in the Jeep as Paul crawled over Lewis to
get out on the up hill side. However anytime
you're on a hill like this and you look over to the
right as you're driving up and think, boy, I'd hate to
drive over that edge, then you do, well, that'll put a
few more gray hairs on your head. |

| Note to self.... D is drive, N is neutral and R is
reverse. The P at the top, well that's park.

| A couple of zig zags up the mountain, then a hard
right up a long, steep trail. No stopping on this
trail. Don't look over to your right either.
Keep it pointed up the hill and give it gas. |
