Spring is Here... Muddy Roads are Calling You...

Hercules doing training runs outside our plant at Slemon Park.
 Tires that are waiting to be mounted and dirtied.
 Dog that is itching to get out and chase small creatures.

August 2010 Photos

These photos taken at Avonlea in Cavendish, PE.
 Well, not this one.  It's on the stairs at home.
 Lauren and Diane in the buggy at Avonlea.
 Claire, Katrina, and Lauren.

More photos and update

Found out from my mechanic this week that the klunking was NOT an axle or a u-joint, it was one of the hubs not "snapping" back into place.  Which means, for all functional purposes, when I thought I was in 4 LO during my most recent manouvres, I was in fact in 2 LO.  Which explains that one scary moment in the wettest of the three quarries...  there ain't no photos of that, because there was nowhere to get out that wasn't under two feet of water.
 Looks like a coupla monkeys up there on that hill...

 Dirts, rocks, gasoline.  Mix thoroughly.
 Yes, that front tire is rubbing.  Sheesh.
 More wheel spin, less rubbing this time.
 Hard to tell, but approaching a steep vertical.
 Coming back down the easy part of the vertical.
Daddy's got a smirk.

More Off Roading with Mike, Katrina, Lauren, Daddy 14-Nov-2010

 Four wheels in the Atlantic Ocean.  Yes, I am chicken to go any deeper...
 This is what we called "The Scratch Zone."  Some prefer to call it "Scratchland."  Either way, it was an obvious poor judgement call on my part.  Campbell "road", Miscouche.
 This time we made it to the top...
 Lauren posing with me standing at the bottom to show how high the dirt pile is.
 Articulation, perhaps not the strongest point of the Isuzu torsion bar front end.
Three quarries with loads of four wheeler tracks awaited us after the wet holes on Campbell Road.
