Figured you guys would get a kick out of this one. James, one of the Trunkmonkey Racing navigators, suggested we all go out wheeling and mudding at Chester Turnpike after Hurricane Charley. I hadn't run the X through her paces yet so I jumped at the chance to have a Jeep with me to pull me out of anything nasty. Well, turns out that James's Jeep needed my help!
Now, I'll be the first to admit that I did not attempt this crossing and James knew full well that he was going to get stuck...he just wanted to get all dirty! We checked the depth in a few spots but he fell right into a rut that our rather large stick didn't find.
Here I am pulling his Jeep out with my X. Whoops!
BTW, in no way am I dissing Jeeps. James shared the wealth and let everyone in the group drive his Jeep. Not only that, but he pulled me through a river crossing that I knew was too mucky for the X to handle on its own. No photos of me in the deep, but I made it through the first half of the river crossing on my own (the far pond behind the rockbar). The second half, closest to the camera, was about two feet deep. We dropped the X into the water with the rear wheels on the rockbar, hooked up the tow strap, and he powered me through.
