Nice pics Paul, except the one demonstrating your poor penmanship

Even though it was a miserably long drive for me to and from Grand-Anse (about two hours in a blizzard) it was worth the trip. Here's my pics of the day;

airing down at the trailhead


me out front breaking trails, awesome ;D


the reason we wheel in the snow, beautiful scenery


a capable Rubi in need of larger tires (35's are on order)


but you had to stay perfectly in the center of the trail or this happens


What Paul didn't mention about our day yesterday was that we did two trails. One trail with two Rubi's, a TJ Wrangler X and my YJ and another trail with just a Rubi & my YJ.

In the Grand-Anse area they have an annual Good Friday run where everybody with a 4WD and a case of beer show up. We spent the afternoon either driving around stuck trucks or helping them out.

Okay, I got stuck a couple of times too


I wish I had taken some pics. We actually saw an Argo trying to pull a full sized GMC truck out of a stuck. What were they thinking?

I'm telling you I'm surprised nobody got hurt. Everybody seemed to be drinking "liquid stupid" and there were snowmobiles everywhere tearing up and down the trails.

Thanks again Paul for being my winch buddy running winch cable for me.

I was wondering where you were too Johnny.

Actually we didn't have an extra seat , Paul's Jeep wasn't running and he was in my front seat & my back seat was full of tools & parts.

On the first trail we had two Rubicons, a TJ Wrangler X and myself. On the second trail it was just Toby with his Rubi & myself.

On the second trail we didn't see any capable vehicles only stuck ones with poorly equipped 4WD trucks. The capable vehicles were probably way up front ahead of the stuck ones. We didn't get to make it very far up the trail before having to turn around.

Lucky for them we were prepared for the trails, our vehicles were Jeeps, were were experienced and most importantly we weren't drinking. At the end of the day we finally had to refuse to give anymore help. Heck, we would've been there until dark if we stayed.

I couldn't believe it, at one point after this fellow in a lifted YJ who refused to make room for us to pass actually had the nerve to ask for a boost as we were crawling by his dead Jeep. Why go on a run with a suspect battery? Even though he drove a Jeep he kept getting stuck.

Oh yeah, I have a video of Toby's Rubi in action.
