A seperate Stave Lake wheelin thread...(better than Jesse's ;) )
Well Saturday nite we decided to have a fire up at Stave. Got a little muddy. Sunday rolled around and I got a phone call that we were going up again. I happily obliged.
Most of the pics of me are me getting stuck, I had too much fun to stop and take pics of me lol.
Only carnage was my truck. I went through a deep deep hole twice, and the third time I thought I would hit it with a little more speed. Bad idea, really bad idea. The truck drowned, and then stalled out. Water was up to the top of my bumper. Figured I would give it one go, and to my surprise, she started right up, and them procede to drive me right out the water. I pulled the lid off the airbox, and this is what I saw:
It'll buff out, don't worry....
Got my buddy Spencer to run me up to Lordco, grabbed me a new airfilter, cleaned out the box and ran it for the rest of the day. I swear to god it ran better that before lol.
All-Terrains for the loss
Epic fail (all 3 were stuck)
And the classic "stand around and look like we know what we are doing" Ended up taking 2 trucks to pull the Heep out.
The GF, the one driving
Spenny getting stuck, he gave a valiant effort, but the mud won.
We were up there for about 5 hrs, so it was a good time. Now I have to go wash off my truck.

Trails are fun, but I've been there enough that I have ran most of the ones my truck can handle 10+ times. You can only take so many lines to challenge yourself before you get bored. The next step up, you need alteast 35's to avoid winching and seriose body damage. 3-4 times a year the mud flats flood, and the terrain changes just enough to make things interesting. Besides a couple of the guys I was with do not have the skill or patience to hit the harder trails.
