got a view when the bush opened for a second
Attachment 2043766Attachment 2043767 soon as we got back into the bush, my son almost rolled his quad down the mountain. he didn't see this hole, it blended right in from our direction, and dropped his quad into it. wife was second and i bring up the rear. go to see why wife is stopped and her and the boy are standing on the left floorboard so it won't tip and roll away. quickly threw the wife's winch line on it, then had her winch it out. all she did though was drag her 600lb quad down to the kid's 700lb quad, so i anchored the wife's down with my 500lb quad and we got it out-no probs you can see the drag marks behind wifey's atv before i tied on Attachment 2043768Attachment 2043769Attachment 2043773 |

Re: post up your camping pics
Is that "devil's club" left of the atv in the last picture?
Last picture post 1125; I didn't see all the others when I asked. |

Once we slowed down on the way back the 5.3 turned in the best fuel economy I had seen since putting on the camper. But the 8.1 will be a game changer. I won't have to plant my foot in it to maintain speed. The 5-speed will give me one less thing to worry about too compared to the 700. It's going to be a whole new animal to figure out for sure. |

Rumble and Roxie like Dieseldawg, like harrassing the beavers, and like Diesel, when Rumble can't catch or find a beaver, he steals their logs...
