It’s been a little longer than I wanted.

Fort Smith was a little rough on the old Ford. I broke both sway bar links on a series of craters on the way into one of the mud pits. Raw deal… ordered the parts, and waited 2 weeks. THEN the day those got fixed I took a couple big screws in one of my back tires, which basically ended my exploring off road as one of them went through a previous patch job. Got the new tires, then waited 2 weeks for an install appointment. So now I have these winter street tires, albeit with really good treads- good enough that getting stuck in is going to be a little challenging.
All that deep mud here with all the rain over the weekend, some places up to the hubs deep, and they just power on through. Dug some deep holes in this sand pit, but between not actually being stuck, and the elders who showed up just as I was starting to get deep in, asking what I was doing and if I needed help, it just didn’t go to plan, and wasn’t very arousing. Ah well.

@gravey1of2 dangling a smoke while looking at the back tires spinning. Best. Video. Ever.

@sd78qsk My other failure this day was forgetting to delete the 6GB worth of deleted items from the folder on the phone I use as a camera and having only two minutes out of an hour and a half of doing everything I could think of to try to get stuck. Dropped the fronts into the holes I dug in this video and forward or backward, from both sides, just churned right out of it. Turning sharp made some pretty good donuts, but even braking hard in the middle of the donut, turning the other way, and hammering on it, just pulled right out. I even made it up a 30 degree incline without bogging in. some guys have all the luck, I guess…
