Post your off-road pics.

I HATE mud, always travel thru those spots as slow as I can...

Hi Kent,

We teach in the Advanced Off Road course at Ford to head straight into mud and do not turn the wheel until you can bank off the other side of the mud pit...even if it is way longer than you think you need to go. Sort of a rim shot....otherwise...it is stuck city....Winch??? Help!!!!

And there is tons of technique that seasoned vets have learned.. I loved going places were "Jeep only" applied....But I would not venture with our Green Valley 4x4 group. Egos are big and experience is limited. Big ego guy in a brand new Jeep rolled it on its side..He had "tons" of experience in his own mind. Then came the upside down jeep that had to be dragged out of the narrow crossing...some $15,000 later the poor Jeep was back his garage....So much for being the expert. EX is a Has Been and a Spert is a Drip under pressure...

Best,
Phil

Back on Drummond again

I really miss my MI roots sometimes. I never made it up that far north, especially to do any off-roading, but it's so gorgeous. I'm just a little envious.

I can’t get up here enough

I can't say I blame you. I'll be heading to GA at the end of the month from SoCal which means MI trips will be feasible. My plan is to try and make it up there at least once/year.

Once a year for 6 months sounds perfect ?

I've been all over this country for work, including AK and HI, and honestly MI is just one of the most gorgeous places I've ever lived. Sure, there's no mountains, but man the lakes and islands and forests are hard to beat.

Ive done a bit of off roading but it was all desert and sand dunes. Rock crawling is new to me so it was pretty challenging. I only had enough nerve to make it down the level 2 out of 5. Its true jeep trails. There were several big groups out there. Its a real fun place and I cant wait to go back. I've been wanting to go there since i moved here 1.5yrs ago.
