, she has been working on designing a patio I have to build for the house this fall, so as soon as we stop arguing about that she will get to them.

Well, just give in so we can see the damned pictures already!!!!!!!!

We have now argued more this week then the previous 5 years of marriage, but the plans are done and ready for the township to inspect. So, pictures are being uploaded to the picasa link I previously posted, though it says it will fill my account up, hehe, will update before I hit the bed tonight. As I asked my wife why there aren't any more pics of me over the obstacles she was not riding along in, her reply was, you were going to fast. HAHA. Okay, there is also some really good pics of JollyRoger Flexing out the VX.

*sigh*, much better, now I can finally go to work. Looks like a nice mix of mud and rocks, good deal. It was weird to see a VX towing an FJ down hill?

I am actually going to blame that one on the trail guides. You can see in one pic the guy is really far away talking on a cell phone instead of guiding someone who really hasn't been off road down the slope. Yeah how ya like that Mike? Or, maybe Mike should not tried to drive over a large rock with the center of his vehicle. But he learned quickly and that was the only incident of the day.

Yeah, that was a good "learning experience" for me. Nothing a little lift won't fix! Thanks for posting the pics, they all look great. I'm ready to go whenever you guys want to get together again! Hopefully we can get a few more VXs up there.

it was a nice balance of some mudding and rocks; and I too performed the trick of "towing a VX down hill" myself @ Moab '08 on the VX Run...lol.

Mike really did well after his only incident and I'd say he is now officially baptized (read addicted, hooked, etc...lol). He could have skipped a few of the harder obsticles being stock & a first timer but sunk his fangs into everything the trail threw at him! I was impressed!!!

Thanks Ryan for uploading the pics (and your wifey for taken them!!!!!!!!). I already ordered all prints from the local Walgreen's and can't wait to show friends & family!

Yeah, she got a couple nice ones of you. I like the three in a row as you are going over turtle rock and watching the rear suspension move. The rear axle was really flexed out there.

Nice pics! Sometimes I wish we had more "greenery" around here...but I like our rocks and lack of mud!
