C&C's off road adventure

This last weekend, me and Cody (cody994x4) took a little trip (50-100 miles one way) to an outdoor adventure park with over a 100 miles of trails.

We got there early on saturday, checked in and then set up camp.

This picture has my truck, my extreme off road emergency vehicle (mountain bike) and then Cody's truck. In the background we have the pop up camper.

As soon as we were mostly unloaded we decided to scout out some of the easy trails that even my truck 2wd truck was plenty capable of handling. Snapped a few pictures along the way.

This was one of the slightly more difficult trails.

Soon after this hill ^ we ran into one that was a little more than most vehicles can go up. Here we got shoved off the trail by some rocks that had gotten slick from people travelling down. At the time it happened my camera had floated somewhere to the lower part of the cab so I had to wait till we got the truck out to take a picture, so I just edited a shadow in. Doesn't look like much but the truck was at about a 30+ degree tilt and slid down into the fence. It also took both a souped up FJ cruizer (with all the off road bells and whistles) with a huge winch and another big jeep to get the truck out. The jeep had to dig all 4 wheels down to keep the FJ from getting drug into the fence with the truck.

...So Cody doesn't try to claim it, the hole in the fence was already there...(gotta stay fair

)

By the time we got out and back on the trail we were starting to run out of daylight and headed back to camp to cook dinner. But dont be fooled, that didn't stop us! We just hopped in my truck and let about 500 watts of energy lead the way.

Oh, the fence took off Cody's mirror so we used some highly advanced fabrication techniques to bring the broken pieces back to an operational state.

The next day we set out for the elusive trail to the top of Wildcat Mountain, the highest point on the property. After following a set of land rover tracks (night before) and a set of jeep tracks onto what was initially marked as an ATV trail, we made it to the top, all 1,403 feet above sea level.

I can see some of you guys in the mountain states rolling your eyes but our camp was below 760 feet...Yeah, I saw that too.

While we were up there I stapped a few pictures of...

...trees

...more trees

...and more trees but this one has a windmill.

Also snapped one of our camp.

Then on the way back I snapped a picture of a big footed creature climbing through the brush. No it wasn't sasquach taking his morning jog but something much more impressive.

This picture was at over 500 yds. He was about the same level as camp and a long ways off. The whole vehicle looked like an ant from where we were. The full sized original looks better because I had to compress this one to upload and then the website compressed it even more, and that goes for all of the pictures I've posted.

It is still an amazing picture for the distance it was taken at, definitely keeping my reputation as "Longshot"

It was a ton of fun and we will probably head back some time later.
