Here we go again!  This time Andrew has joined us as a passenger and designated camera man.  He is thinking about buying a Jeep.
Here is Jimmy crossing a water hole.
Correction: Here is Jimmy almost crossing the water hole.  See those tracks in front of him?  Hmmm.
Still rather clean.  Disappointing.  Need to try harder.
Need to try harder like Jimmy.
Here's Jimmy taking the hill.  
King of the hill!
Correction: Here's Jimmy taking the hill with his new winch.  Winch works.  Hmm....  See those tracks in front of him?  :)

We don't have pictures for it but we went up and down many steep, hillside trails.  Jimmy didn't have any trouble once he decided to put a little more foot into it.  My favorite was one that tuned like a kids slide. 

Ok, so, I got stuck eventually.  It had to happen.  :)  I found the first mud hole I got stuck in last time and this time I took it a lot faster.  It rained all yesterday and the water was even deeper and the bottom muddier!  I really go burried this time.  Jimmy's winch was awesome.  My tires were really burried in that mud and his winch kept tugging and made the difference.   
Andrew and Jimmy re-coiling the cable.
We stopped by the river to clean the windshield.
Looking around.
Jimmy noticed part of his back right shackle had broken.  The day was over. 
Well what do you know!  When I went to restart my engine the starter was broke!  Probably mud packed.  We tow-started  it.
Jimmy's pull got it started.  Heading home!
Made it!  Last time I had to bring it back on a trailer.  Had fun, broke the starter but made it home - I'll take it!  :)

Andrew said he is going to buy a jeep tomorrow!
