It was great meeting all the new guys who came out for the trip and always a good time seeing everyone else again.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the random Defender we came across in the woods, haha

Also everyone check and grease your u-joints. The water will kill them quickly. Had to pull my front driveshaft today because one of the u-joints is now shot.

The second day we sure found some serious water and if it wasn't for Jake thinking his truck was a boat we probably would have turned around.

Lol my truck was a boat by that point.

Didn't Lexi take video of second day? I thought she got me crossing that first deep spot.

have fun with ujoints! "Waterproof" grease them! (isn't all grease water proof?)

Yeah she did take a bunch of videos. Thought she would have put them up on facebook by now but I don't know since I'm not on there. I'll ask her.
