Some pictures from a quick outing on Saturday for a much needed AFK break.

Of course the pictures never do the incline justice. The last two pictures are of a steep uphill climb. I have had the truck in several situations where we had it rock pretty good but for a second this weekend, I thought we were about to roll it. Coming up this hill, the back end lost traction and spun a bit getting us a little sideways. Pulling up onto the next ledge, which was about 1.5 feet tall, the back end slid around a bit more. As the truck pulled forward, it pitched pretty hard and you could feel the drivers side of the front end come way off the ground. It left us looking at nothing but clear blue sky. Then we all looked at each other in silence for a second and one of my passengers finally spoke. "Now there's you some pucker factor...." We backed up slowly and got us a good line again and then I got out and threw the winch line on a nearby tree to suck the front end down.

Overall, it was a great weekend at Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area.
