Sounds like a fun trip, eh?
The article/blog entries have a lot of content that isn't related to the H2. Excerpts of the good stuff:
"The Hummer H2 certainly has it detractors out there, but we still keep getting the looks and everyone we’ve met here in the Northwest seems to be enamored with the passing of our Stealth Gray H2, except for the gas station attendants who enjoy when we don’t pass them. We have watched as kids plant their little faces against windows, saw an old man stop dead in his tracks and have caught lots of stares from strangers. There have been many questions from fellow travelers who want to see the H2 up close and personal. Out on the highway, the H2 is one smooth machine, effortlessly and comfortably eating up the ribbons of asphalt, mile after mile. Out on the trail, the 35s and locker will get you over anything reasonable, while rock rails protect the body front pesky boulders. One thing that we can say about the H2, is that while many new vehicles we test fail to incite passion, Hummer has managed to keep character in the H2. It’s a vehicle that garnered many mixed feelings on its introduction, even from some on the Four Wheeler staff, but has won over every one of us who have spent any amount of time with it. It may not be perfect, but maybe that’s why we enjoy our H2’s personality so much. Ken and I think it is the perfect vehicle for this adventure."
"The Hummer H2 SUT attracts an unbelievable amount of attention. I’m not sure we could attract more attention if we peeled down to our skivvies and rode zebras for the rest of the trip."
" Props go out to Hummer and its H2, which has performed flawlessly through everything we have thrown its way. The H2 is comfortable enough to get the two of us and our gear through this 1000-plus mile day and live to not only tell the tale, but want to hop back in it after a few hours of sleep and ask for more."
"Crawling through the tightly-spaced groves of trees, ooey-gooey black mud, downed tree branches and logs, steep creek banks and waving grasslands, we had our work cut out for us, piloting the heavy H2 through some of the looser soil. Note to Hummer: We’d like a front locker, please. On some of the tougher obstacles, it took the low-hanging H2 a few tries to conquer, but we never called for the strap once (or looked to the winch for that matter), and yet again the H2 impressed everyone in its presence. While the 35s seem big in a dealership showroom, they looked downright civilian in this group and had us wishing for 37s, but the despite the difficult terrain, the H2 got us through everything we asked of it."
"The outside of our H2 is utterly filthy, which is the way we like it and we have no intention of washing it. We’ve found that people who drive filthy H2’s get more respect than those who drive spotless H2’s with that shiny tire dressing."
"...if there is a vehicle out there that would have been more appropriate or a better match for this trip, we can’t think of it. What else is as quiet, smooth and comfortable on the highway, is as capable in the dirt with 35s, rear lockers, and short overhangs, and capable of carrying all of our gear, and ourselves, in style? We can’t think of anything."
