Wisconsin area events

Excellent

If this keeps up, just maybe we'll get a surprise visit from______________

No not Santa Claus

 

Forgot to mention...yes, it was a true TW event. While we were eating Sendik's pizza @ a local eaterie, there was quite a light show just south of us that moved around east of us out onto the lake. It rained for about 1 1/2 minutes...just enough to get the pavement and sidewalks wet.

 

Was just watching the Video's of the last Tigerton run ! Was just wondering why no one seemed to go threw the hole next to where you seemed to get a few of you hung up on the rocks ? Was it because you didn't want to get muddy ? Going in the hole when your buddy's are around helps because they can pull you out if you don't make it Plus it lets you learn just what you can get threw with out too much work ! Or Not.......Also helps with Recovery Skills

 

I can only speak for myself: I don't go to Tigerton for mud holes. Have plenty where I am. Plus I despise cleaning the mess afterwards. Plenty of recovery skills can be built and maintained on the rocks which is why I go there. If you don't get stuck on the rock, your not trying hard enough. Anybody can get stuck in mud...

 

@Camerasandcoffee went through that mud hole. Took him a few tries to get up and out but eventually made it. Not sure if anyone got pics or video of it.

And I personally avoid the mud if possible. I dislike cleaning it off afterwards.

 

Yeah, I went through a deep muddle last year and my alternator died on the way home. While it's possible it was unrelated, it sure seems linked.

 

Anyone can get stuck on the rocks / sand it's all the same ! And I do get the idea of not having to clean afterwards but shit isn't that why we go on the trail. Or is it to just Drive around and say you were there ?

 

Just drive around to say I was there

 

I originally skipped it because it looked like it would have been taking the easy way out. Going over the rocks was more challenging.

Then, I considered it the next time we went through there. But, after Jonathan dented his bumper, I decided to skip that and go around the far side of the mud pit, which was pretty fun.

Also, there should be a video in there somewhere of me going through a different mud pit and tearing off my front bumper cover.

In general, though, I'm just not that interested in mud. I'll play in it occasionally, but I don't really seek it out.

 

Thats how to drive up Hell's Gate



This is how to get winched up Hell's Gate



It was all part of the adventure.

 

Edited the OP. Here's what I have for Bayfield:


-October 5-8, Bayfield Apple festival + fall colors fire tower tour.

Loose agenda:

-Camping at East Twin near Clam Lake, Thursday - Sunday

-Thursday - setup/camping, bonfire, BS. Tacos courtesy of Pat (Pearing)

-Friday - Pat's trail day, probably head out around 9am, go play in the dirt, scratchy, winching likely, back to camp in the afternoon/evening.

-TBD: Friday or Saturday afternoon/evening - head into Bayfield for the Apple festival, maybe street food or hit a restaurant. Also, Kevin Bacon burgers courtesy of Tim (Pixeltim) whichever day works better.

-Saturday - fun-run, probably head out around 9am, possible trail lunch at mount Whittlesey, probably a little scratchy, back to camp, bonfire, BS, and beverages.

-Sunday - pack up, head home

-Side note: East Twin looks like a nice lake for kayaking, so I'll be bringing mine along.

 

@Peeing on jeeps,this. That's me guiding @Supr4Lo up. I broke shit that day, so I play and I play hard. Just don't like mud. Your welcome to come for the Bayfield run Friday winch fest... There will be mud. Oct 6-8.

 

What???? You are lying like the proverbial log. Your the groups mud man...

 

We all went through this little mud hole the day before Hell's Revenge. Still getting mud out of the engine compartment from that one...

 

Maybe he will switch to making Mudslides…

 

I probably go through more mud than most of the group. But, I still tend to avoid it when it looks sketchy. Well, unless I'm just feeling silly.

I guess I don't really avoid mud as much as I thought I did.

 

I thought about trying white Russians or black Russians sometime.

 

I support that. I can bring some Vodka and half and half for the color run...

 

Looks like I better start practicing. It's going to be a rough couple of weekends.

 

First off thanks for the invite to the winch fest coming up ! And I wasn't saying none of you play with your truck I just figured somebody would go threw the hole and I heard they did ! I don't go out looking for mud well maybe sometimes but I still like to test Old Blue out every now and then but honestly not a big fan of the nasty rock crawling, too much damage
