Badrap....

His Devine Buckness is quite right. As we jam along through the backcountry, we kick-up a heck of a lot of dust; a protective coating. At one point there was a big mound of dirt right in front of me....but as I drew closer I realized it was actually Neil in his Disco!

As we then pass through the soft foilage we get a finish that looks absolutely shocking!!! People freak until we lightly pass our fingers over the dust to reveal a glossy-smooth paint. That's not to say a few don't mar the finish here and there, but so far nothing a little bit of wax or buffing won't resolve.

We really couldn't find a whole lot of challenges on this trail, but the well maintained road still offered some fantastic views and a lovely forest-like setting. It'll be a great family drive during winter/spring. We did find a few side-trails that were a bit more difficult....but the Disco lost the traction control system and couldn't follow.

One thing I absolutely HATE about pics & video: they totally steal the intensity of the real situation. Hills that are super-steep come out looking like mild inclines.

One thing for sure...we managed to do some stuff that no other SUV in stock form could possibly do! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it...

Oppps....gotta go, my winch is on fire!!!
