Good times as per usual. Also as per usual, Copicut has shattered my spine. Oof.

Run took place with Mike and cousin Fred (and Cindi and baby!), the North American Curt-Phong Love Association, Jordan and Renee, myself, and some idiot with a two-door Wrangler. Had to chainsaw a few trees at Rocky Woods. No trail rash or other damage to note besides my apparent inability to crimp a 4ga terminal and Mike's wet pants. Got a nice big pile of toys, which we dropped off at fire station near Glebe. Lots of hunters out there today.

Lots of posing opportunities on Glebe today and plenty of deep water at Copicut.

The Jeep did well... Taunton is easy so hard to say. Biggest difference was the much lower gearing than the Xterra. The gearing on 4low is really low & seems to go over the rocks (the few places that were there) extremely easily

Here's my favorite one from yesterday:

I need to go through the GoPro vids and do some editing, but I'm lazy, so don't expect it anytime soon.

trails 21 and 14 will be some good trails to test out the jeep especially if there is some snow/and ice on the trails.

Thank you to everyone who made it out on Saturday! It may have been a small group of us, but I know our collection of toys will make some children happy this Christmas! I'm glad we had that convenient drop-off (Taunton Fire Dept.) right next to Glebe St.

I know Cindi has a lot of pictures on her camera. I'm trying to get her to create an account online to host the pics. :roll:

I'm glad you got a picture of me with the chainsaw, Phong!

Nice! Thanks, Jordan!

No, shame on me, Eric. I even had a pair of safety glasses in the back of the truck that day, too, now that I think about it.
