This is where HG decide that a 4 lb. rock that is maybe the size of a medium size coffee can is too much for his tires, so he climbs down the hill to move said rock out of our path. Thank you Mike for saving us all with that possible disaster waiting to catch some unsuspecting Hummer! We all owe Mike our lives! 
Hey, that rock was VERY sharp OK? I'm sorry if I'm not Mr. big and bad I have nice tires. Hell you drive 100 miles a day to and from work and see how your tires hold up 
And Drew/Jeremy/Ocifer (damn, I didn't call him that not once): You have to admit, like you said, he piloted that H2 through places I didn't even think a ATV could get past. I mean you guys should have seen the approach angles. He had that fat biotch at a 45 degree angle on it's side squeezing through trees and trails made for ATV's. I honestly was amazed by it all. We kept getting out to watch him. There was only one large branch that Jeremy and I had to pull away from his H2 so he could squeeze through, but the rest he did on his own. I'm still amazed. I wish I would have gotten some video of him coming down that slope where the tree was 1 inch from his pass. side. I caught like a 5 second clip of it. I'll post it if you want lol
You're right.. I only drive about 45 miles a day to work and back...

I believe I already admitted it.. "You have to admit, like you said"
Mike... you were the life of the party...

LOL Den!!! No, HummerMike saved my ass more than once spotting me down what I can only call more or less blind drops!
Thanks for the compliments JD! That last mud trail before the posed picture on the mound was definitely a wee bit tight for a Deuce but ... Deuce 131 - Trees, brush and other vegetation, well, about 3 that I saw today lol!
Had a great time and hopefully by the time we're due for the next trip my truck will be in order again :-)
Just so you guys all know, ZYNE/NICK was the queitest and most mellowed out person there. I think he said something like 25 words the entire time lol, totally opposite of what you'd expect from him. Now, Jeremy and myself on the other hand, yeah, we talk as much here as we do in person, in fact, people had to turn their CB's off to shut me up......................
Shhh ... you're messing me up here man lol!!! In all honesty, I'm normally not quite THAT quiet but after everything I had experienced that day, I was a wee bit humbled by it all!
You just had an image of me as Mr. Highstrung which is quite true most of the time but ... being out of town, hanging out with ya'll in the mud and not being bothered by work for a change .. hell, that stuff does wonders for an over worked IT idiot like myself!

to be honest, the best was seeing ZYNE and HG having fun... I like to see when people not real familiar with off roading having a good time and gaining confidence in what they are doing..
Gaining it!? I feel like I had it crammed down my throat every hill we climbed or every drop we went down .. I haven't had this much fun in years! Having the experience you guys offered readily available is truly what made it what it was for me ... I wouldn't have tackled any of those pucker factor spots with out it ... Like I always say "I've done been schooled" and I thank yas for it!

I know the hill you are talking about Mike .. I think that was right out of the creek and before I got the hang of it ... yep, 45 degree is no lie .. not to mention the 2 inches I had from my drivers side door to the ground/other side of the hill LOL! If anyone wants a picture of the shark fin in my drivers seat, I'll be more than happy to take it .. that one puckered me up .. some lol!
I'd like to see the vid if you have it .. if nothing else I'll pull still frames from it!

He may have been smart in not calling you Ocifer or nuffin BUT .. let's face it here .. that pic of your makes you appear 10 times more of a badass than how you come across in person! Seeing how you and your wife gave each other a little rippin' while we were eating lunch was too funny ... it's dead on what Les (my wife) and myself do on a daily basis! Badass? At work maybe .. but off duty .. nahh .. ya aight! :-)

Is it safe to assume we all have high speed Internet connections by now!? I'm guessing we do .. something struck me as I was browsing through JD's Photobucket album again checking out all the good pics ...
I get some pretty good discounts on certain things through work, well through our parent company I guess. I've been contemplating getting a hosting service setup here for a while .. I do quite a bit of (non-offroading lol) photography and really wouldn't mind publishing some of that stuff online ..
If there is an interest in maybe sharing these full size pics we took and will take in the future ... I'd be more than happy to up my initial 10GB storage estimate to 20GB and facilitate that and even the HTML if you would want to use it. The cost difference is so insignificant I'll probably up it regardless as it gives me additional bandwidth to play with each month ..
If nothing else for us who want the full sized images it would be a hell of an easy way to get it all accessible to everyone.

I have access to a plasma cutter too if that falls a little closer to your own taste .. hehehehe .. I'm guessing it would run ya at least $1,500 to add it as an after thought .. if not, close to 2 grand .. pretty expensive for a hole in your roof ... and may I add I got one hell of a tan/lobster color in my face driving around all day with that thing open .. lol

I also have a server that I own for a website that I sponsor... so... while I only have 40gb storage... I have 1TB bandwidth.... I'd be willing to host the larger files.... or help archive...

Great pictures guys! I need to upload what I have too. Sometime this week.... I'm Finally sitting down for the evening. Service was SLAMMED today at the dealer. We also have one advisor out on vacation so the work load this week will be crazy. Thats what makes days like yesterday such a blast for me. I get to go out and have fun with cool people that all share a love for these trucks. It totally takes your mind off the everyday crap.
It was truley a pleasure to meet you guys and spend a day on the trails. I'm looking forward to the next one!!
One last thing I have to explain from Jerermy's write up. Yes, I DID get stuck and had to be rescued. :) I tried to drop into a trail by going up and over a mound and high centered my truck. DOH!!! SO needless to say, my new tow straps are "broken in" now. Thanks Jeremy for the tug! But oh well, it was all in the days fun. Thankfully there's no video of this! LOL!
