Ahh, let's go with your way...and not having a place to poop

 

I had a Level10 in the Q45. Now that was a sleeper with a tuned and switched ECU. With the VLSD rear diff and the amount of power that it transferred to the rear wheels, it was a holy terror to drive on snow, ice, or wet pavement.

Damn. Some kind of a bug party.

 

I had neighbors in Jersey from Sardinia Italy. They were good neighbors.

 

Camping in 20° weather mean foot warmers, it's chilly damnit

 

Take them out to let them get some air and they'll warm up again.

They were a godsend sleeping under the stars (sometimes under your humvee) in Iraq; it got cold as fuck out there.

 

Built like a tank. That thing lived in my backpack and never skipped a beat. Much more robust than new stuff.

 

19 hours and change to run 100 miles through the ozarks. Man o man.

 

I spent the day there yesterday driving from HWY 7 via Payne Ridge Road, Victor Camps, then up to cross the Buffalo at Woolum.

The rain gave everything a nice shiny coating. This is a picture of Richland Creek at Fallingwater falls.



When I stopped to cross the Buffalo at Woolum there was a Jeep driving from north to south. I caught it on video and shared it with the drivers.

I took my gas chainsaw and did some trail maintenance. A storm on the 15th left a treetop covering one of the trails.

 

A friend of mine has one that's stock minus a bit of parking-lot body damage. She's not a car person at all, she just happened into it from a friend/family member.

A few of us have tried to get her to sell it, buy a beater, and pocket the difference, but haven't convinced her it's worth the effort to list it and deal with the Craigslist/Marketplace shenanigans. Maybe if someone dangled a pile of cash in front of her though...

 

Wow , that looks gorgeous; we went out there last fall and hiked out to Twin Falls in the wilderness area. I'm hoping this winter I'll be able to get out on the trails finally!

 

BTW have you ever done the Frog Bayou trail down by Winslow?

 

Why is it that trailers. The easiest things to wire/repair wiring on right get the most fucked up

 

I have not. I've seen it on the map though. I should make plans. I'm working on a recording of a new type of "no pinstripes" trail collection that runs from Payne Ridge R. off HWY 7 up to Pindall on HWY 65. The trail will take the driver through the scenic attractions without getting buried in mud, breaking an axle, and leaving a bunch of pinstripes. We have a lot of beautiful rigs in the group with owners that like to see the attractions without doing damage. If somebody wants to bust rocks, we have Hot Springs and plenty of places for that.

 

Not sure why, but I suddenly felt like I wanted to play this again

 

That sounds like a great idea! I don't mind pinstripes but breaking an axle is never a good thing. I didn't think trails usually got that gnarly in the Ozarks, but maybe I haven't been looking hard enough!

 

Cause some people don't care if their lights work.

And those that do, may not have the know-how to fix it.

Yes it's easy as it's all point to point wiring, but you need to remember that there are a large number of people that can't even check their own oil or change a tire.

 

It's possible. This one is OOAT day 2 and day 3 trails.

Nice! What trail was that exactly?
