My wife would've had to walk along side.
Our Power Wagon outing is Friday thru Sunday at Rausch Creek. Wifey goes with me on Friday. The other 2 days, she stays back at the campground with a few of the other wifes. They normally go swimming at the camp ground pool. We tackle the harder trails when they ain't around.
I‘m going to be sixty in a few days. I’ve had plenty of stupid ass puckering moments in many different sorts of vehicles. Including a few armored ones courtesy of our Uncle Sam. But having one of them in my shiny, one year old, $60k baby is another thing thing entirely. I’d much rather keep the shiny side up and my heart rate in the double digits. . .Glad to hear that you experienced that Whoa Shit moment when you are convinced that “Pucker Factor” is the only thing that was holding you into your seat along with the death grip on that steering wheel!
Welcome to Off Roading!
Congratulations!
Nothing like sucking the vinyl off a seat through your butt hole to keep the heart pumping. LOL
Taste like shit too. But when you survive it. Afterwards, you go. "damn.........what I just do....."You know the schitt just got real when you can taste the leather from the other end . . .
I flopped my '76 Chevy on it's side twice. On the same trail, same spot. Didn't learn the first time.It, and most other 4x4 vehicles, will go a lot farther than you think. Enough that your passengers will start to get nervous. Do yourself a favor and if you're gonna go much past 30, make sure you're on dirt so you at least have a soft landing if you flop. Speaking from experience...
Good driving Russ. I didn't even hear many scrapes.
Yeah, me too. I'm 73 with many 4X4s all over the SW. I got to 25 degrees up here at Cedro Peak because I wasn't paying attention. Got my attention right away. If you ever get up to ABQ let me know.
Not bad for a 66 year old.
Will Do. You do the same if you wind up down here.
