Canadian mud bog 2/25-27/05 (pics now)
I figured i would post up a new post for the mud bog right now i am fixing to start loading some pics up so it will be awhile before i am done. i got 165 pics but i ain't getting all of them on here!!!
I Had a blast, it was alot of work this weekend but hey that is part of the sport right?
Met Evan, cool guy i would wheel with him anytime! When i first got there i went riding around while i waited for zach to show up. I figured i would look for other people from texas4x4.org since i knew there was suppose to be around 4 or 5 people there. The first person i run into was Evan, i flagged him down and we got to talking, since he was riding around i ask if i could ride with him to check out the area. well i have to say his welding held up real good since my big butt didn't go throught the floor!! He showed me more of the river then i knew about since he been there way more then i have(only been there once).
We get back to his camp, and about a hour later zach shows up with his brother and the scout. We go find us a campsite and setup camp. unloaded the scout and we went off riding around checking out rigs and places. i took pics of what i thought was cool rigs and getting ideas from them. Then me, zach, and his brother levi head into town to get some stuff from the store and came back to the camp and pretty much stayed there til ZACH had to make a nature call. so we head down to the place where the event was going to take place and he went to the portapotty.
Now i tell you this story to tell you this coming up story.
I was sitting in the scout waiting for zach to finish, i was looking around watching the people build the mud area for tommorrow. When Levi walks up to the scout!! i was like what are you doing here? He preceeds to tell me that he had drove his truck over here and on the way he picked up a beer bottle in the side wall of the truck and he had a flat tire. So he parked it by one of the campsite area. He said he was heading over to the site where the mud pit was so he left. Then zach comes out and i told him "you want the good news or the bad news??" He just looked at me like just give it to me!!
so i told him his brother is fine but he got a flat tire and the truck is just back behind us. Well we go looking for his brother and going by the light we went down a road and on the right side of the road was a HUGE mud hole. Well need less to say since we didn't see it(cause it was dark) we just fell into it and couldn't get out. luckly someone was near by and they offer to help. He had a winch so we hooked it up and started pulling but it was pulling the jeep into the hole. so they hooked the jeep to a surburban and finally we got the scout out.
So we go back, after thanking the fella for the pull,and we found levi in a truck heading to us( we called him letting him know about us in a mud hole and can't get out so he got someone). we head over to levi's truck and started pulling the tire off. In order to keep the truck from falling since it was on sand we had to tie the truck to the scout an jack it up at the same time. after hunting down tools in the truck and getting the spare out and getting it on, we finally go back to the campsite and settle down for the night.
This is just friday i will tell about the other two day later!
