I'll get action shots up today, gotta wade through the hundreds of pics I took....I think we all got stuck at least once, even the H1 got pulled out by an H3! Good fun. Thanks for posting, Paul.:D

Dennis crawling the ruts

[CrisB]

Oops...on the frame, required a winching.

[CrisB]

Now try it with some attitude...

[CrisB]

Mighta been too much attitude...I think this is where he popped out of the ruts & kissed the tree:crying:

[CrisB]

Let's try this hole!

[CrisB]

....nope, ruts were too deep, needed more speed!

[CrisB]

That's better...hit it with all you've got, Dennis

[CrisB]

Nice mud splash!!! Hope no spectators are close...

[CrisB]

Ummmm...Theresa, I think you guys were standing tooooo close.

[CrisB]

Rick's H1 was an absolute tank, great recovery vehicle to have along...he did get it stuck once or twice, no pics of the pullout!:crying:

[CrisB]

By far the best move of the day! High pucker factor.:jump:

[CrisB]

The recovery.

[CrisB]

Great mud runs!

[CrisB]

Good job, Keith....hit it hard!

[CrisB]

Dennis was just trying to spray everyone....:jump:

[CrisB]

All in all, lots of fun on a cold, wet Michigan day.

[fourfourto]

:clapping: Lots of GR8 pics.
Looks like you had a chance to use you winch alot :beerchug:

[usetosellhummer]

dAMN MAN we are talking some mud! Nice very nice:clapping:

[SR1355]

Thanks Cris, Great pics of everyone. I need to get my DSLR cam back so I can get some good shots of you. No far that you take all the action shots and get left out.

[CrisB]

Got word today that at least 4 H3's & 1 H2 suffered alternator failures after this Hummer Happening from submersion....but we were never in more than 24" of water (OK, maybe we went faster that 5 mph), and GM won't cover them under warranty. :violin: I had no troubles with it, but I'll have a look to see if I can fab some kind of splash shield under the alternator to prevent it later!

Anybody else had this happen? It's not the kind of thing you'd expect to go bad, but I can easily see how it could happen.

The only trouble I found was both front inside wheelwell covers were broken, one missing a chunk over a foot around....not sure how I caught those on anything. Oh yah, anybody seen my front left wheelcap?:confused:

[raptorman53]

GREAT PICS! I bet the motor was covered.:perfect10s:

[marin8703]

SWEET PICS!! Looks like an awsome time :perfect10s: !!

Not Cool....

[frenzy1]

Great pics man !! Thanks for sharing! !! :perfect10s: :clapping:

[HUMMJAY]

nice pics cris!!!:perfect10s: hey when were you able to brake from the pack to take the east trail at the mounds? I would have gone that way as oposed to going back through the "trench"

[SR1355]

Hummjay, We ran the trail to the east early in the day. The long deep canyon of a mud hole was the hardest part of it. For that just a little speed was needed to clear where everyone coming from the other direction ends up stuck and diggin in.

[CrisB]

I would have gone that way as oposed to going back through the "trench"

I don't know that the East end was any easier, man...first you gotta get into this hole (and we've see it full of water to the top!)

[CrisB]

Then you've gotta hit the gas hard (I was the test subject here, slow didn't work)

[SR1355]

It was so early that Cris was playing ice breaker in this one. First ones in the pool that day.

[CrisB]

...Or you can skip to the right around the hole, but then you've gotta deal with this bog, and it WILL require a winch to get out & up the other side. Practically bottomless pit of mud:jump:

[CrisB]

First ones in the pool that day.

That made it so we could see the bottom of the holes, I love getting there early!

[SR1355]

Kinda takes all the fun out of it... no.. not really just a little more sure of what your getting into.:D
