So last weekend I went on a day trip with my wife and a friend from work and his gf. The trail is fairly easy 24km 2.5 trail from the driection we went, would be a 3 going back the otherway as the hardest sections would then be all up hill and we came down all the tough sections. Was a great day only hit 4 times but it was enough to sho how bad I need some armor. Will have more pics of my truck when my friend gets me his pics.

This is a buddhist monastary out in the middle of nowhere. Was kind of dissappointed I didnt see an army of monks practicing martial arts like they do in the movies. LOL

Nice looking trip! You need to talk the wife into walking up the trail and taking pics of you going up those cool rock steps next time.

Interesting about the monastery. Too bad you missed the martial arts practice.

If your wife is going to be your co-pilot, take the time to let her drive once in a while. You never know when you'll be out there by yourselves and if something were to happen to you, she'd be the one to have to drive you out.

That is sage advice. I taught my wife how to back a boat trailer soon after we were married.
It is great now having been married 15 years to be able to drop her off at the dock and have her back down and we can pull out easily while other guys wives are left holding the boat in place while he runs up and gets the truck. She has made a lot of men look bad over the years backing that trailer!
