On the road again.... 
Well, if you think that's bad, check out those gas prices.

Most of the gang meets up at Muskogee and we are off towards Clayton.   It's a bit foggy this morning...

We've arrived and it's time to get unloaded and check out the scenery!

After a little scenic tour of the lease roads, it's time to hit some trails.

What was that I heard, someone complaining about the ATV trails..
Are you saying it's a little narrow for ya Daniel?

No problem, Hummer loop has plenty of room for full size trucks..

 

After a couple warm up trails, we take a short break then head on for another easy run.

Ok, not quite as easy as it was before all the rains...

Phil's got the new TJ out of Steve's shop, and he's ready to test out the suspension..

That was fun, now Pat's turn..

The full width of Daniel's makes it easily up the wash.
   

 

More trails, more slimy rocks...

Lunch break!

Here was a nice slimy hill.
But Hamid's not afraid of spraying some mud for the camera...

With his rear diff hung on a rock, Hamid is forced to take a tug from Kelly.

Kelly gives the hill a try, but the AT's are not taking well to the red clay.

Norm comes up with ease.

Dale gives it a try, but fall back to the winch.

Phil had a shot, but a little too slow in 1st gear.

Of course Henry just walks on thru...

Pat's attempt falls back to the winch..
    

Daniel has little difficulty.

Then we are off to find our next challenge.

Which appears to be another washed out section next to Pucker's Sluice.
     

Since we are right here, I might as well try to make it up Pucker's Sluice.

No luck for me, so now it's Henry's turn.

Still a bit too slimy get any traction on the rock.  But it was a good attempt..

I suppose we've entertained the local inhabitants enough for today.  

It's time for some dinner...  Can you say Pete's Place.  ;)

Thanks to all that came out, and especially to Kathy and her husband, the Media crew.

Until next time...
