We'll most likely be camped by the old cement factory north of Marina Park Dr, on the Truckhaven side. We'll be part of a larger group, always room for one more. We'll all have our Jeeps out there, one of the guys has an old school Foreign Jeep (FJ), at least it's got American Iron under the hood, Chevy 350. We're a bunch of old rock crawlers, been wheeling Truckhaven for years, some of us for decades. Even if you bypass the obstacles, we're great entertainment.
A few shots of Machelle "getting her some" in our rock Jeep.
She drove out of that little fix!
I won't have that Jeep out there, we'll be in the '05 for this trip, I go a little easier on it. Truckhaven is a great place to test breakover angles, and tipping points. If you get stuck, the ground is usually very soft, you can use the shovel you've been hauling around for all this time, see if it works! If you start getting tippy, stop, put a strap on it (the vehicle
), add a couple of fat guys to help hold the vehicle if needed, and drive through it.
Sometimes just one fat guy hanging off of a bumper works too.
