I love those tires. Aired down to 18 psi, and they were great. I have a little rubbing on full-lock left turns.

Still at it later this morning. Yesterday, it was dry and dusty. Today, is all mud: http://www.weather.com/weather/local...om=search_city

dochummer 04-22-2006 11:15 AM

do you have the air suspension? If so, any problems while aired down?

No way Larson's going down that cliff.


He looks like he would have been fine if he cut it a little more passenger side.

Looks like fun guys, I can't wait for the next trip up there.

Yes on the air suspension. No problems. Today in the mud, they worked great.

H1 Winching Rubi forward from the rear.

Wrangler and Rubi got stuck on numerous, for them, impassible obstacles. They were then winched through by an H1 and OldHiker's H2. 3rd Jeep in group turned around and had to be winched out by Larson through a creek. H1 and stock H2 went right on through with no winching.

I've yet to see a winch used there, so what trail was it the Heeps got stuck on?

I can't recall the name (more likely Ipe, MatureHiker, Larson, or Joe will know) but it was a Blue 3 trail. On another trail, I had to winch myself off a stump on my DS rockrail on top of a steep ascent down into a muddy embankment into a creek (I was trying to avoid the off-camber drop the first two guys did - H1 & H3 - so I went a little too far to the left and high centered on the stump). OldHiker used his winch for the 1st time in its 2-year life - 3 times, but all on other vehicles. He no get stuck. He just go. We went on a lot of fairly challenging trails. I learned more from the veterans, including non-forum-member H1-Scott, about wheeling the H2 than I thought possible in two days. At the end of the 2nd day, I went over obstacles without needing a spotter that I could have barely been persuaded to try at the beginning of the first day even with a spotter. Ipe, OldHiker, Larson, Joe, and Scott always had the right answers for difficult spots. Before Friday morn, I had never actually done the BTM thing. Now, it's second nature. The whole thing was a blast, inclding the all-you-can eat crablegs, prime rib, clams, etc. at the place we went to on Friday night.

The trail the jeeps got stuck on was Laurel coming out of Rocky Meadow. Actually its a newly cut Laurel since the old one was closed down along with the pipeline. Something about an exposed pipelining rupturing

Did someone say they never used a winch at Paragon?

See you in May!
