I can feel the truck upshift as we approach the stream. We catch air going over the stream and land in the mud. I can see and feel mud entering the vehicle. Mud coats the windshield. The inside of the windshield.

The engine is roaring as the truck claws it way through the mud and we very nearly make it to the top. Very nearly but not all the way. I consider backing down to take another run at it, but the next truck is already setting up behind me for his run. We take the tow strap and get help climbing up the last part of the muddy spot… At this point we have a lot of but everywhere, inside, outside… this is fun.

After a quick pull from the top for the last few feet, we park the truck and watch the last couple truck attempt the hill. Nobody makes it through the deeply rutted hill without a tow for the last couple of feet.

On the way back to the hospitality tent we work through some smaller obstacles and generally bounce our way along. A very good time was had by all.

Back at the hospitality tent we grabbed some drinks and hung out for a while. We talked and looked for undercarriage damage… which was mainly scratches. Nothing major in the way of damage but lots in the way of dirt. We took pictures and then said our goodbyes for the day.

Today I stopped by the dealership where they washed and de-mudded my truck for my. They also re-installed the side steps.
All-in-all the event was massively fun. Anderson Hummer did a great job of setting things up for us, treated us like royalty, and made some real memories that we will carry with us for a long time

I more happy then ever with my H2. Right now, very much because of Anderson Hummer. I paid a premium to buy my H2 because I wanted not just the truck, but also to get in on events like the hummer happening. That they took the time to do this for us AFTER we purchased and owned the truck for so long speaks volumes. Hong and Johna will remember this for years. So will I.
Not only are Hummers like nothing else, so is my dealer. I got exactly what I was after when I bought the truck –The Fun!! Thank you Anderson & staff. ?
A very happy owner.
Charles

Great write-up and congrats on your engagement! Unfortunately, I bought my H2 used, so no dealer wants to let me in on their hummer events. My cousin will try to get me into his....but we'll have to wait and see how that turns out... thanks for the write-up!

Congrats on getting it out in the mud and for your engagement. I agree with Doc, great write-up.
Doc,
That is ridiculous that they don't let you in on the events. Do you ever go to the dealership for service? They should let any Hummer into these events to help promote the product line and off roading.

GREAT STORY! We appreciate the effort, and look forward to the next! Congrats on the beautiful bride-to-be too.. 
I bet the pics do NO justice to the terrain. Well, that's Hummer's for you. It takes extra effort to make the terrain look as tough/fun/challenging in photos with Hummers in it.
Doc, I went to a HH by Cerritos Hummer even though I did not buy mine there. No prob. I do all my services there though? |

Unfortunately, I live about 2-3 hrs from the nearest hummer dealership, so it really isn't cost effective to take it there for service. I'm hoping my cousin will be able to get me into his... we'll have to see though... Sure would love to attend one...
