If you look real close while watching the video, you can see some of Big J's body parts lying on the ground. Hey Tony... don't give up on me. Sorry for the delay, I'll get some pics posted tomorrow. So far, this being retired business has been hard work!  |

Cool video, to bad the first half describes where not to be during a recovery. Did the dude think he was going to give that Yukon I mean Hummer a pull if the Jeep couldn't???

Yeah Pat that was a pretty dumb place to be. I think he didn't want the strap to scrape the poor guys bumper up.  It was funny to see the looks on the hummer guys faces as they were all sitting at the start of the rock swamp and i just drove around them and walked through it like it was a sunday drive. But, what really got them was when Bill and Lyle went through it scraping and banging off of every other rock in the place. If i remember right the silver H2 was the first one through and if that was the case then i guess the rest of them didn't get to give it a try. Thanks Lyle i knew you must have been hard at work in the yard cutting grass or something.  Tony |

Haha very funny. I wasn't sreaming. I did however have a frim grip on the seat if ya know what i mean. I can't wait for Lyle to get the rest of them up. There should be some really good ones of the new jeep at work. When the drive wasn't getting thingyy  and thinking he can go anywhere he want to. I learned my lesson on that one.  Tony |

Pics are up on the main web site. See either "Where We Go" or "What's New" for the link to "Rausch Creek - Paragon - 5/04". And, Tony... you were screaming like a little girl.  |

DANG! Either Tony has really long legs to reach the pedals, or he is abandoning ship. Whatever happened to a captain goes down with his ship??

That's Tony's Dad Jim, trying to get some ballast out over the side to keep the thing upright. You know, like they do in sailboat racing. Either that, or he was being pushed out by Tony scrambling to get outta there on the passenger side.

You guys are just wrong. See if i ever go again. Yeah right i had a blast learing how to drive something that can get a little tipsy at time. Not to mention i was stupid enough to listen to Jason and follow him pretty much everywhere he went.  Tony |

Good pic's lyle. That was a good time. Boy, my jeep looks way to comfortable in the rock creek at rausch creek. It really wasn't all that hard. I don't know why all those TJ's had so much trouble that last time we were up there.
Also Lyle you got any pic's of when we were going up that rock face when we lost 8 gal of jims gas and a yellow top?

Let me know which one you want to use for your "What We Drive" shot, and we also need a new description. Unfortunately, I don't have any shots from up there. I'm hoping that maybe Bill or Jim got some shots of that and will send them to me for the website. Bill is going to be here this weekend and I'll check with him. I'd love to see Jim's video. Jim, maybe for the club meeting? Lyle |
