UPDATE: well, as Garrett said, Barnwell is definitely a blast! and as promised, i saved a jeep !!! my friend's boyfriend got her jeep's rear axle hung up on a boulder. good thing i broughta tow strap. anyways, the trails were a lot of fun, but not all of them were marked accurately . came across a handful of 2 stars that should've been 4 (probably due to the wash out from all of the rain a few weeks ago). also, the trails weren't cleared of high brush as well as i had expected, so i've got a crap load of scratches to buff out. guess im about to test the theory aboutthe paint quality...ah well, gives my ride some character. i got myselfinto one pickle that really freaked me out, but i just kept calm and trusted those hummer engineers. i got out of it unscathed and left everyone w/ a great impression regarding h3s and my driving skills (i give all the credit to the ride tho...ha). all-in-all, itwas SO worth it! we definitely need to take a dallas-area hummer forums convoy out there.

lil d

ps - i cant talk too much trash about the jeeps. they did great and are fun rides...but i do recall being the only one w/ my a/c on while sitting in a comfortable seat blaring xm.

here are a few pics:

sorry for the delayed response. any takers on a trip for saturday 9/29? if we want to carravan, we can meet at one of the dealerships or something around 8 or 9am. spend the day trail riding and spotting until like 4pm. then be back by about 630. i have to stress the possibility of scratches. i'm spending all day tomorrow washing, buffing (and i dont mean my biceps), and waxing.

here are a few more pics:

What exactly is going on in that last photo?

Wow, looks like you had a great time.....How about your support staff?

Didn't let Odie drive did you?

Remember what happened last time

So....Do you want to start a new thread so we can flesh out this BM trip ?

I'm in as long as the schedule permits.....I may not know my actual availability till the last minute....(I HATE "IT" PROJECTS)[:@][:@][:@]

mark, that last photo was of us hooking up the tow strap. believe it or not, that jeep didnt have any hooks...at least in the front. so, we literally looped aroundthe front bumper.

my support staff included a couple of friends/co-workers. kat didnt tag along this time. and, i definitely did NOT let odie drive

thanks again for organizing the BM (yes, the bowel movement) trip.

OK....So who was pulling who?

As for the BM trip......I won't know my availability until the last minute. However, I'll
do what ever I can to help get this thing underway and lay the groundwork for future trips.

(There is a big argument over some work projects and where they will fall on the September time line)
