So yesterday (Sunday) my buddy and I took our rigs to Durham town. Apparently union city got a bunch of rain last Friday, so it was pretty muddy.
First we hit the rocks, to get warmed up and get some pedal control. My buddy seems to lack pedal control, and he hung up his front axle on a rock. It was no big deal and he backed right off it but it scared him and he decided to park his truck on the road and just ride my h2 with me back on the mud trails.
We hit the trail in my h2. First obstacle is a deep mud pit with a decent hill climb. Keep in mind it's my first real offroading experience in my new car (scared //:o// ) it was no problem but it gave me the itch. So we kept going for a few miles, conquering crazy obstacles I never thought I'd attempt. It was awesome.
The deeper in the woods we got, the tighter the trailers got, and deep the ruts got. I got stuck the first time. After about an hour of unsuccessfully trying to use the hi-lift jack as a come along, a group of about 6 jeeps rolled up to save the day (I got an earful from the jeepers about pulling out a hummer). They winched me out and off we went. About 100 yards down the trail, i attempted to bypass an extremely deep rut by driving around. H2 was too wide and the back end slipped into the rut, rendering me door deep in mud at an uncomfortable angle, both axles at full flex. Once again the very nice built up jeeps came and winched us out.
At this point I decided to turn around. I figured I'd only continue to get stuck.
So I thanked the jeeps and headed back. On the way back I hit a mud puddle too slow and got high centered. Long story short, hiked miles no phone no water, rode on back of Polaris for about an hour lost. Ended up getting her home in good health!
Great day overall!
Ill add pics and videos soon. My buddy has them.
