Uwharrie OHV trails close December 15th so Zach, Matt, and I went for one last go at the trails before winter sets in.
There was quite a turnout of people bidding the trails farewell for three months.
This will be the last time I take the Jeep to the trails stock. Next time it’ll have a nice lift and larger tires but I’m still amazed at what these machines can do right off the show room floor.
There was very minimal damage to report. The gas tank skid plate took a pounding at the end of Dutch Jon. Going too fast over a rocky mound caused the rear shocks to compress more than usual and it caught a large rock on the way over. Just a little rock rash, not something I’m going to worry about when I get the lift.
I won the smallest Jeep award, again.
Zach flexed his front suspension to the point that the shocks weren’t resting on the boot (see below).
I made a dizzy time-lapse video of about 2 hours of the excursion compressed to just over 8 minutes. Sorry for the quality, Youtube really did a job compressing it. You can download the uncompressed file here (RIGHT-CLICK save as) if the quality is too bad for you. It looks like I’m just chasing after Zach the whole trip. I videoed Wolf Den, Falls Dam, and Dickey Bell; but ran out of tape at the beginning of Dutch Jon.
Also, check out the photo gallery.


If you are not a fan of Battlestar Galactica, or just don’t watch sci-fi then you probably missed the episode of BSG that all the sci-fi blogs are talking about.
If you never watch another second of BSG you should check out this clip.
To rescue the colonist on Cylon occupied New Caprica the Galactica FTL (faster than light) jumps into the atmosphere, falls like a rock, launces vipers and jumps into low orbit to fight four Basestars.
I’m trying to coin the phrase “Adama Maneuver”; this is great.
Anniversary Video
2 hours of the party in 3 minutes.
Remember this? Bet you thought you were done hearing about it.
Sorry for the delay. I just found the cables for the video camera.
