Twin Cone

well all,
we did another run today, since Wheeler Lake was closed, we decided to try Twin Cone, there was a little snow, which made it, lets say interesting, but a whole lot of fun...
on to the pics,
a group shot

Nice pics! I've never used that panoramic stitcher before (www.ptgui.com). Does it work correctly every time, or do you have to futz with it? Does the watermark only show up on the trial version?

crapped getting winched up the hill...


I spun a lot toward the top but finally made it...






After the hill climb, we tried to go further up the the trail but the snow became too deep so we headed back down...

Once we all got back back at the trail entrance, 'youngbuck' and myself decided to do some more wheeling on another trail a few miles down the freeway. It almost turned into a nightmare.

We got about 30 feet from the top of this hill and i got out to take a picture...

Less than 20 feet later my brother sank into snow about 16 inches deep and got stuck pretty bad. We dug out snow around his tires and placed rocks behind them but it was of no use. Thank God i bought a cheap tow strap from Walmart the very day before. No pics, but i was able to pull him out.

We then ended up going to another trail closer to home and wheeled it for an hour or so. I also sorta got stuck so my bro returned the favor of gettin me out. (Sorry no pics)

Then we went to yet another "off road playground" and had fun climbing and dropping down various hills...


the end.
