We had a great time, even with the cold. I did realize that if we use the buggy on another winter run that I'm putting a windshield on there or wearing some goggles and a facemask
It was nice to meet some people off here and put some "faces with names". Thanks to Tom and Mike for leading the group for most of the day, and to Greg for letting me use his hi-lift after those two beads let go.
My only "breakage" was I somehow managed to snap the line on my rear suckdown winch, but still have no clue how it happened.
Since my wife had her hands curled up inside of her gloves all day she didn't drive until we hit the gauntlet and a small ledge around the comp course. She did pretty well considering it was her first time, but I'd have to say it was all due to her spotter
Actually right before this next pic (it's a bit jittery-looking) she had stuck the rig up on a ~40deg angle with the front passenger just hanging up there. I had her coming forward cranked passenger, when I turned around to move down a little bit and when I turned back she didn't straighten out and started driving up the ending rocks with just the driver, while the rear dropped a little bit. The bugeyed look on her face was priceless, but she was all smiles after that...until she found out I didn't have a pic of it.
We didn't get many pics because she refused to take her gloves off to do anything, and with all the extra bulk she had on her mobility, or lack of, reminded me of the younger son in a christmas story when he had his snowsuit on...
Even though it was just a test shot with the new camera I liked this one the best...
Here are the
