May 1999 - Memorial Weekend in Dresser, WI

Page 1 2 3 4

Saturday night was a night of drunken rednecks everywhere. There is nothing like trying to sleep while the campsite next to you cranks ACDC all night. We woke up early Sunday expecting to join another group of jeeps (I know someone in the group), but they were slow to get going and we ended up leaving without them. We did the white trail on Sunday and I hated every minute of it. The trail was too small, and we basically played "dodge the trees" all day long. Brett had it even worse thanks to his long wheel base. We all took body damage on this trail. The rig is no longer a virgin thanks to one tree. I dented the front fender, lost the Bronco emblem, and dented the rear quarter panel in two different spots all from the same tree. I also managed to destroy a stabilizer shock, broke one of the adjuster knobs off of an RS9000, and on the way home, I blew out a ujoint. Overheating problems didn't improve either.
