Today I went to Durham Town Plantation with the local jeep club (Jeep Master Of Augusta aka JMA) to play in the Georgia red clay. Well having grown up out west this was an educational experience for me. Luckily We met up With JHBlackwell and his daughter. All in all it was a great time, though we spent more time recovering than wheeling, but what would you expect in clay pit during the rain?
Here is a look at Jeep eating ruts that come out during the rain.
With that in mind Mr. Blackwell skillfully avoids becoming the ruts next meal.
Next was the hill that only the Pink Jeep got up.... since the pink Jeep made it there are no pictures of her, we are wallowing in our sorrow with pics.

Here I am going up the "easier" hill
Here is JHBlackwell working his way up the easier hill...

....and no traction...

The Green Machine and crew contemplating the hard hill
The next set of pics are of Trapper Dan, JHBlackwell, and the Green Machine going through a stream that would bet too deep to traverse were it not for the pile of logs stacked in it. It doesn't look like much from the photos, but could be intimidating in person...
If my commentary is overly annoying, well look at what time I posted this, I am a bit punch drunk. We had fun, I hope all of you had a good weekend.
