Traveled to NH last weekend for some camping, and wheeling. The weather was on the warm side 110° with the heat index. I added a temporary e-fan to help cool the engine and auto Transmission .

The trails were challenging, obstacles I would walk through are now heavily undercut adding to the challenge. I haven't been winched in the last two years, but I did this time when I snapped a chrome alloy stub shaft. I got my front tire wedged on a difficult obstacle and had to use 2 snatch blocks to get me out. I did finish the trail on three wheels without pulling line again. Enjoy!

A quick vid to start, wearing the hat I bought last year in Telluride.

The wind kicked up and it rained during dinner Saturday night, we were under cover so we stayed dry. Built a large fire to dry out a bit. The brief gusty winds caused some issues with the local squirrels, when I got up Sunday morning I found a half dozen squirrels in out campsite, it was raining squirrels, the 2 day old fur-less kind.

Went swimming in the local lake after wheeling day one.

Posi, I gotta ask. Just how do you get to wheel so much?

I was told Pete lives vicariously through my wheeling........now I have a standard to uphold.

 

[Torxhead]

I wish the both of you many days and nights of awsome camping and wheeling.

And you're doing a fine job getting me through my Jeepless Summer.

Posi - You'd have no trouble on 95% or more of the Rubicon from your photos!

Even the other 5% you'd be fine, just have to think about it a little! lol

If you do plan a trip out here one day, look up Fordyce trail too. You'd have a lot of fun there too and it's close. I haven't been there yet...
