COMPLETED: Snow Hunt turned Trail Time

by HARDTRAILZ » Mon Dec 07, 2009 8:21 pm

Location: Franklin County, Indiana

Date: December 7, 2009--Flux Capacitor is in rewind... :raspberry:

Time: Morning

Weather: Snowy Fun

So I went out for some Bambi with my Muzzleloader, but was seeing nothing and it was the first little snow and the TB was calling for me to let it play a bit. I decided I was cold and was warmer in the truck. Then the truck decided it would be more fun to look for deer while moving, so I had a bit of fun. Pics are mixed up a bit, but I took alot.

You have a flux capacitor?!?! I didn't know TBs could drive into the future. I suppose if I were to leave now, I could go with you on Sat, Dec 12, 2009 :friday:

Nice pics. :flex dirty:

What, it's not really poo, is it? I mean, I get that dirt is nearly completely decomposed matter, but still... that dirt looks like fresh... well you know.

Nope...No animals on this land, just trails, barns, ponds, and cabin. Not poo, but fresh dirt we are filling in a valley with.

FYI..

Tires did really well in all aspects without any air taken out. Worked amazingly well at Treading Lightly. Needed minimal wheelspin anywhere.

It truly was a great lazy offroad cruising experience.

Up was fine where it was solid, but parts of that fill arent packed and you just dig in.

Where you going in MI?
