Not really an "expedition" per say.........ENJOY

On my way back from NE I decided to take a side road so I could test out my new digital camera. 12MP, 5X optical zoom and a 2GIG memory card. I was stoked. I knew the roads weren't great, but I figured I'd know before I got in over my head.

Either way, you got some nice pics that fear and trepidation about being solo would have precluded!
I had almost as much fun when I went out alone for and end of year joy ride-

Oh boy! That one gets a McGyver award. I LIKE IT! Great for when there are no natural anchors available.

You could substitute your tire chains rather than carry a plain length of chain.
Set them up in a "Vee" shape to equalize the load and then tie them to the Hi-Lift.

I need to add a few stakes to my recovery kit....

If you carry a spare axle you can use that as a stake too.

Thanks for the compliment.

I actually prefer to go Solo most times. It allows me to take my time where I please. No schedule, only my own needs and wants to be concered with.

The real lesson here for me is about being prepared and perhaps a bit more careful.
