Bad Wheeling Day.....

[Eric06Rubi]

Its irritating how butt hurt some people get over the smallest things. Im all for treading lightly. But some people need an education in nature and the enviroment before they start making assumptions. Up here in king county they pretty much shot themselves in the foot be making public gathering so stringent in the permit process and enviromental impact that they cant hold their own gatherings where they want because it will damage the enviroment.

not to hijack the thread but this statement is absolutely tru. and part of the reason I moved from the area he's talking about.

Everyone has made some very valid points, first off the only reason I was in the creek was to bypass some fallen trees, second, as I was approaching the spot to get back on the trail there was another fallen tree, so I ended up having to retrace my route back up the creek (remember the creek was actually just runoff from the local water plant). That being said it probably wasn't a good idea to wheel there (as I found out). Third, I felt it was right to take the pictures off my post b/c there are probably some envirofascist nuts who just lurk on offroad boards just to find stuff like this. Forth @Purple People Eater, I definitely don't think its cool to get stuck (it really sucks), I can laugh about it now b/c it's all said and done, but at the time I was not happy. ($120 to have an offroad recovery guy come get me out). Other than that I'm all about treading lightly, being safe and having some fun. :sombrero: :wings: :victory:

A chainsaw is less expensive than a flood repair too....

Yeah, all true, the whole 4inches of water in the floor sucks... Vacuuming all the water out and letting her sit in the sun with the doors open seems to be helping alot.

the best way to dry out your vehicle is to leave the heater on with the windows cracked.

thats the way the car detailer i worked for in high school dried carpets in vehicles. it dries them in about an hour in the hot summer sun.

Me three. All I normally ask for is that the guy (or gal) returns the favor if he passes somebody needing help. What goes around comes around.

I wish man but I work Labor Day weekend... Soon I will go to Mandate and will have weekends off for 10 weeks so maybe I can make some day trips finally.

Mandate? I thought you liked girls... :ylsmoke:

Good luck with the training, btw. It suits you.

We're camping at Cataloochee in October and all over the place for 2 weeks in November too.
