We had plenty of food available if need be.DSCN0168

No place to make a U turn for sure.DSCN0174  DSCN0175 DSCN0176 DSCN0181 DSCN0182 DSCN0185 DSCN0187

 

It was a little dusty….and it’s not even a week old.DSCN0188 DSCN0190

Which way do we go, which way do we go?DSCN0193

Ring around the tree….DSCN0194

Where’s the road..DSCN0196 DSCN0200

How do I get down there?DSCN0201 

Almost the end after 5 hours or so.  Notice my car tag.  It’s under the dirt.DSCN0204

 

Wow, who said free beer?  Carol is having a bad hair day.DSCN0208

 

“You say what!”  Another bad hair day.  How do them women get their hair to stand up like that?DSCN0212

Ed got his part in for his broke down 4X4 Rhino and installed it.  It still won’t run right.  Time to call an expert – again.

I ordered a Demco base plate for our Jeep.  It should be in any day.  I also ordered some side steps (nerf bars) for the Jeep.  They should make it easier to get in and out of the Jeep for Carol & I.

We got some pretty good names for the Jeep so far.

See ya……

4X4

Names for the Jeep are coming in and we are still undecided.  Keepen coming…. that’s short for keep them names coming in.

Today,  Ed/Sandy, Denny/Susie and us (the orange 4X4 gang) left about 9:30 for today's 4X4 adventure.  We went up, we went down, we went over rocks, thru a tiny bit of water, thru forests, around fallen trees and one dead end, very dusty trails and not so dusty, very narrow and some kinda wide, gravel roads and dirt roads.  Two dead ends counting the big tree we couldn’t get around.  Then we left the RV Park.

Here we go……DSCN0129 DSCN0131 DSCN0132 DSCN0133 DSCN0134 DSCN0137 DSCN0138 DSCN0139 DSCN0142 DSCN0143 DSCN0144 DSCN0150 DSCN0151 DSCN0153 DSCN0154 DSCN0156 DSCN0157

Turkeys..look real good and you can see the little ones.DSCN0158

And we got back about 3 PM after 49 miles or so. 

See ya………….
