But the Disney trip was a blast. They had plenty to do in the rock garden and plenty off scenic type trails.

A few pics of the Rock Garden

The Staircase

The KJ making it's way up the Staircase

How come these things never look as steep in pictures as they really are?

Some hill climbs

The Retreads did great on the rocks! I'm pretty much sold on them as long at they hold up over time. There were plenty of river crossings and the tires did great when wet. They gripped very well in on the trails in the mud and dirt too.

Here's just a few pictures of the trip all pretty much in the garden
The Fam

This is were the big guys play, it was amazing watching them make it up these ledges. (I forgot to get out the camera for the action pics)

And of course a couple more of the little booger

Just enjoying the ride...

WHOA, It's bouncy in here Dad!!

All in all it was a great trip and I plan to make it out again when I have skids so I can play a little more. The scenic trails were all pretty tight because mostly just the ATV's make it back in the woods everyone else is out playing on the rocks but it was still alot of fun. There were many many times that we were making our way through the trees with maybe a half inch on either side.

Enjoy the pics!

DUDE! Great pics. Cute family.

YOU NEED SOME ARMOR UNDER THAT KJ if you are going to do the rocks like that. I know you were extra careful with the youngin and the misses on the ride but you could have done some serious damage with one loose rock.

PLEASE get some skids before you go out again like that.

I know, I was definitely careful of what I was doing. We stayed off the rocks for the most part. The staircase was all I really did and I stayed out of the rock pile that you see in the overview pics. That's just were all the good pictures were from. That's why I said I need skids before I make it out there again. So I can actually have fun.

It's mostly flat rock and they've built up bypass trails so everyone can make it out to the garden and watch. You could probably get a rice rocket up there if you wanted too. :lol:

I understand. And I also understand the temptation. Just be careful. Did you see the post about the guy with the wrangler and his new ac hole from the tree branch? You never know what will slip up and bite you in the arse.

It is good insurance. But I did enjoy the pics.

Yep they're the AT's and they've been great so far.

Toby's a blast and they're so much fun when they move around and explore for themselves. While we were out there he was throwing rocks like any other little boy would do and a big one about as tall as him caught his eye. He walked up to it and patted it then wrapped his arms around it and tried to pick it up. It was hilarious, he just turns around and looks at us with a confused look on his face. :D

I have the ltb muds from them they work fantastic I don't forsee you having any issues with them as these are the 5th set I have owned . The last set I had on my F-150 lasted 45,000 miles (prettygood for mud tires) I'da probly got more if Ida balanced or maybe rotated them more than once;)
