Whoever was in charge of the weather really dropped the ball on this one :( I was hoping for a turnout like the Feb invite and a substantial donation made for Fathead's memorial. The turnout was decent, especially considering the weather but it was tough to stand around and B.S. in the cold and rain! The rocks were slick and it was a horsepower day for the most part. I almost didn't go, it was pouring in Greensboro in the a.m., but I wanted to make a contribution to the memorial fund and wanted to check out yager's driving skills on something challenging. Needless to say, he had me grabbing for a hand hold from the git go and didn't let up. From about laying it over in the bottom entrance to getting sideways on the big rock comming out of the bottom he made it interesting. I only managed to get a few pics of the BDB guys and a couple of smokin vids of BDB Kevin. I'm waiting for warmer weather before I head back out :)

John and I both gave this obstacle a try but it's hard to stay on the line when it's that slick.

This is a 3 mb video. I only had the camera off for a second, I wish I had left it on.

had a wonderful time THANKS to teh mud devils for the open invite. ill load my pics up tomorrow. jeep did better than i thought it would and everything worked like i wanted it to. Guess thats all you can ask for on a first test run of a set up/

Cant wait for a better weather invite!
 
Had a good time guys! I was entertained even if the weather was crappy. It was not a "crawling" kinda day for sure. Thanks to Greg for shock loading my kidneys a few times.
 
Thanks to the Mud Devils for hosting the event. Was good to finally put some names with faces. Weather wasn't so hot but I had a great time. It was nice to be able to push the jeep a little further as I look for both the jeeps and my own limits.. I really need that hydro assist !!!
 
Thanks for the invite, the weather last night was perfect, nice to meet a few people. Ride home was cold. Jeep drove everything i tried, which really surprised me.

I'll never tell :D I had my web wheeler cloaking device activated, shielding me from having to actually converse with people in real life and making my jeep invisible to all cameras.
 
Had a good time today, thanks Muddevils, it was fun to acutally beat the snot out of my jeep finally. I didnt try some of the harder lines, but after the links and wb stretch ill be back for more.
 
Oh and thanks to whoever it was that scooped up my air hose when it bounced out of the back of my tool box. I woulda never known it came out.

Cheers Muddevils! & members of nc4x4!:beer:

The Humane Society of Randolph County raised $150 in donations and have two pending adoptions (one for sure). Your contributions will help pay for foster animal's medical needs, foster animal's food and educating the community about spaying and neutering.

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported us!

Mrs. Badog

RIP Fat Head.
