Snow Wheeling 2006



What a stuck fest!!!!. We went wheeling with the club and made it about a mile and proceeded with the winch recovery bit. The snow was deep and powdery so it made for a long day. The kids had fun sledding and I had fun playing in the snow. All in all it was a good day. Nice not to cold, the snow was dry and cold. All was well and we headed out after about 2 hours of being stuck.

Christmas and Happy New Year

Howdy,
Happy New Year, we have alot of Runs and family outings being planned for new Year. My goal is to update my blog once a month. Hope you enjoy!!!

Christmas and New Years were awesome. Unfortunately I forgot my camera on this trip. We went out and wheeled in the snow with a few fellows from the club. We wheeled up a trail called slick rock and came out on the high end near Highway 4. It was slow going for my Jeep but Andy just plowed right through it. Halfway through I busted a bead and to replace a tire with my spare. All in all a fun day.

The next trip is planned this weekend looks like we will have 8 rigs with us and I am looking forward to my first trip of the year. I will post a write up this coming week. I am looking forward to going.

The big news is last week we purchased a family assault vehicle. It a a Land Rover Discovery II.

Really nice inside and rides great. I got a chance to take her out and test out the 4wheel drive this past weekend and I have to say it does really well in the snow. I wheeled up to Douds Road near the house. I wheeled into Douds Road over the 7 inches of snow and ice on the ground. It was fun watching the traction controle switch the tires and managing everything. This was a lot more sophisticated that the Jeep and Bronco. I liked it but would not trust it on a long trip like the Rubicon or Dusey, in those cases simple is better.

Well have to run I will post some wheeling picture this coming week.
