Subject:      4 wheelin' this last weekend
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed

One of these days I'll post some of the images I took. Problem is they
are each 2+ megs in size, so unless you have a fast connection they
will take forever to get.

Anyway, I was using the GoldBrick a bit (chasing my sisters cat back
into the house...) at my WV place this last weekend. No, I'm not trying
to run over it like Stan, I was using the headlights, hi-beams, and
foglights to illuminate the ground in front to find the silly animal. I
was also driving across the slope and up and over some of the mounds
around the driveway.

Wee HAW was that fun. The GoldBrick (Syncro, Tiico conversion) has the
15" SA wheels and 215/75 tires on it, so it has tremendous ground
clearance now. Those mounds on either side of the driveway are 12-18
inches higher than the driveway and 8-12 inches taller than the
surrounding area outside the driveway. Driving across this was like a
ship in heavy seas.

I was NOT spotlighting the deer (or at least not intentionally.)
Besides all the hunters don't come up to the house anyway (which is why
I have an over population of deer up near the house.) :(
