Jeep

Went out to play in the Mud flats yesterday. Had a great time. The Jeep is so light and the tires are quite wide so we could go where no one else could, even some of the four wheelers. Lots of fun but I bet right about now someone hates me. They are going to look at my tracks and think if they did it so can I. No you can't!




It is quite funny out on the clay. Even in 2 wheel drive it lacks the HP to spin the tires. I am running around on the top of 30 feet of sticky clay gumbo and I can't even spin a doughnut. Pathetic. After we left we did some hill climbing, some of the slopes must have been in excess of 50 degrees so I guess that is something.

We were supposed to have good footage of pulling out on the road and shaking off the mud. You can see it sticking to the side of the tires in the pic. Some one pushed the wrong button so no footage. It was quite amusing, like driving between two brown waterfalls. If you have ever run in gumbo then got up to speed you will have an idea what it was like.



The dog has taken to sleeping on the stairs in the trailer. I think she misses the closed space of her kennel. The cone keeps her out you see. Doesn't look comfortable does it?

I'm so envious. All that mud flying! How cool. Give the dog a hug for me.

Love you guys!
