Nick,
Harry, and their Jeeps have never been off road so
we had a brief trail-riding lesson to get them
started and soon we were on the trail. We
stuck to the green trails for a while and I found a
few opportunities to show off what a lift and larger
tires will do.
We came
across a section of washed out trail that provided
some good test of a vehicles flexibility. Of
course we each need to stop and snap some pictures.
A little
more roaming around in the park we found ourselves
on a blue rated trail and started to get in some
more difficult sections. I was a bit worried
about the stock Jeeps and thier lower ground
clearance but the guys and their Jeeps did great.
With a little spotting we made it through with only
a few sounds of the underside meeting rock.
We
stopped and grabbed a bite to eat on the trail and
soon after we headed back to a little play area on
the power line. This area is a series of steep
hills and a large mud hole. I took a shot at
the hill with the log but couldn't do it. It
is very eroded and would take something with larger
tires and a crazy driver.
Since
springtime is quickly approaching the folks at
Rausch Creek are
getting ready for another season. Check back
in the coming weeks for more off-road adventures
here. Coming up real soon is
OK Auto's Rock Krawl
