Exploring Leatherwood
| We arrived at our destination and hung out for a
short time while guys were gearing up to hit the
trails. Work was being completed on the cabin
we were staying at with a new roof being put down.
The day was getting warm and it was time for the
roofer to call it a day. Meanwhile we were
passing the time airing down un packing and firing
off a potato gun fueled by hair spray.
|
| As we hung out waiting for a few guys to arrive,
John got out his homemade Potato Gun made from PVC
pipe, a gas grill igniter and fueled by hair spray.
Too bad we only had 5 pounds of tators. That
was a lot of fun. It was amazing how far those
potatoes would go. |

| On this excursion, we were wheeling with 2 FJ
Cruisers, a CJ-7, a Toyota Pickup, a Toyota 4
Runner, a Toyota Land Cruiser, a Toyota Tacoma, a
Jeep TJ Rubicon and a couple of Quads. We had
plans to explore the trails on the Leatherwood map
as well as visit a local mud hole to test out some
recently acquired Mud Tires called Green Diamond
Icelander MT tires to do an honest review for the
website. For more on these fairly unknown
tires read this
Icelander MT
or visit them at the 2007 SEMA Show. |

| Jim's Tree
There apparently is a story behind this here tree.
A long time ago someone, presumably Jim, put a sign
up on this tree that said "Jim's Tree". We all
used to joke around and say well, when you get to
Jim's Tree you .... and so went the directions.
Then one day someone shot down the Jim's Tree sign
and we missed that old sign. So this past
summer, in preparation for this trip, a new sign was
made from an old oak plank, sealed up for years of
weather to come and hammered
back up on this here tree once again, right where
the old sign used to hang. So it's Jim's Tree
once again. Here's to you Jim, who ever you
are.
