That was a guy who is a member of the IllianaHummer Club.. Super nice guy.. (That's his night-vision helmet he was using as an ATV helmet. (Night-vision camera wasn't on it today.. but this guy has one bad *** H1 and a bunch of other toys. He was riding his ATV ahead of us to take pics.. I dont have those yet.)

Wow that place looks great. Thanks for posting the pics. I heard the same guy that used to own Paragon bought Badlands, I think it's funny that he makes you put the flags on your Hummers. If you can't see a Hummer coming at you I'm sure your going to miss that little flag.

It was a fun time. Nice way to end my vacation. We had 11 or 12 trucks. Jeremy and I both lost our front plates diving into the mud pool, but mine floated back to the shoreline. Jeremy's are still in there somewhere.
The red H1 overheated for a bit but was fine afterwards, and another guy with a H3 (I believe his name is Mike also) had a partially shredded belt, fried alternator and who knows what else. Hopefully he made it home with no problems.
Other then that, we all made it out in one piece. We did some pretty insane things, and I smacked my chasis a few times on some big boulders.
Looking at some of the things we climbed, I didn't think we'd make it up half of them, but we did. That being said, my wife will not be accompanying me to any more off-roading events [&o]
HummerMike was an awesome trail leader and spotter. Thanks for the great day Mike!

Looks like it was a great time. I wish I could have made it. Is anyone going to post any vids?
Damn Mike, Sucks I know how excited you were to get her into 4wheeling.
