Dude...was that some good offroading or what????
I didn't want to tell you this....but that nasty hill is called "Suicide Hill". The book describes it as such:
Suicide Hill- This section of the White Mountain Trail is one of the toughest. The story goes that a father-son team was attempting this hill when the rig rolled killing one of them. This hill is not just steep; it is loose and offers a side-slope component. Don't attempt this without a considerable support group.
Way to cheat death....huh?!
I was laughing my ass off. Everytime we came to a nasty hill/section I would turn to Billy and say...."what do you think????". Billy would respond with "I don't know...looks pretty darn nasty...might be smart to go around it".
Not being known for doing the 'smart' thing...I of course immediately turned the Hummer into the hill and proceeded to chop that nasty bitch into pieces. My greatest satisfaction was not derived from reaching the top....but rather from seeing the look on your face when you came around the corner to see what lay ahead of you!!!
My favorite part was when you said "How'd you get up that???". Oh yeah...good stuff!
But what a great day...forest, hills, mountains...can't wait to take the whole group through it in a few weeks. I've got some pics...but none of the nasty stuff: too busy watching our butts from loosin' it!
