Winter Run 2011
« on: February 06, 2011, 02:46:19 PM »
We got invited to go wheeling in River Falls Wisconsin this weekend. Had a blast, learned how to 4 wheel in 3 feet of snow, sometimes deeper and we learned how to freeze our  ()() ()() off.

Haha!  I hate the cold like that!  Never enough of the right clothes.

You in a corn field? On a lake?

Looks like you found some built rigs to hang out with. Looks way to cold for me, I thought Livingston was crazy at MM a couple of years ago running with no top at 19 degrees.

You in a corn field? On a lake?

Corn field, Alfalfa field, cow pasture, frozen creek bed and a ravine with a natural spring flowing in it. This trip was on there 400 acre section. In September they have another big run and then they open up the 600 acres, which supposedly has a lot more hill climbs.

When you see the pic's of my flat tire, that was coming up the ravine and I found a sharp rock that went right through my side wall. The bad part is it was totally my fault. I didn't think I needed to air down on the snow, but after about 2 to 3 hours of not being able to get going somebody finally said, dude you need to air down. So we aired down to 4 psi and it was a completely different story and the trip was a little more fun.

The guys running without there tops on basically say it's no different than running around on a snowmobile. Just have to dress for it.........

Looks like a lot of fun!!! Reminds me of snow wheelin' in Reno.  Haven't done that in a while.

But, no top....  {no} Too cold for me.

At one point I got back into the jeep after helping unstuck one, my pants were frozen from the knees down. I'm not kidding, I'm talking hard as ice frozen.........
