We’re running a couple minutes behind, we should be at the space at 805.

No one died. I almost flipped. Only damage was a mirror and a bent CB radio antenna

AND IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME

Time to get some real tires and fix the whole suspension thing that’s going on lol

Did anyone take photos or videos? I’m curious.

Did you guys run up Mino’s or the Twins?

One of these days my Jeep will be back in working order. Hopefully sooner than later. Just need a couple 45’s for my hydro assist. I’ve been hem-hawing around about it.

Don’t think so, we mostly stuck to level 1 and 2 trails, however the maps were misleading so I think we went down a couple of 3s lol

Hopefully there’s a video but I forgot to take any pictures at all :frowning:

This was my adventure, Matt & Sam stayed a bit longer and did crazy things

See pink.

@mbartell notice how the very first trail we went down is marked “Difficult Trail” lol

I’d stay away from spiderweb. That’s a really easy trail, as long as it’s not underwater which it is most of the year. I almost hydro locked my motor on that trail several years ago. Watery mud came up to my hood before I threw it into reverse. I’d guess it was 54" deep at that point. My wife lost her flip flops off her feet because of the water in the cab

90% sure that’s where they were heading. They wanted some mud lol. Both of them made it back alive though haha, engine and all.

Nasty stinky stuff, we took our carpet as a result of the quarry mud. Even after we cleaned it out.

Thanks for letting us tag along. The Jeep is mostly covered in mud. The husband is happy, one kid was not amused, but the other LOVED it. It was a good day. :smile:

I did get stitches and a tetanus shot, though!!

greatsuccess

@LukeStrickland
We didn’t take that red trail. I am 80% certain we took the next one down. Labeled “1E”. I promise I wasn’t trying to kill y’all. :joy:

@TBJK
You aren’t joking about that mud! Last two times I went to Bridgeport the Spiderweb was bone dry. This time it was a mess. If @snaps didn’t have a tow strap in his WJ we might of had to leave him. :wink:

@lukeiamyourfather
@snaps has Go-Pro footage but he doesn’t have an SD card reader. :cry:

Mud, the status symbol. It’s a Jeep thing.
