"**It's that time of year again to wheel with the Trolls and look at the leaves turning color**

**Saturday, October 13**

We roll at 10 AM, so be there by 9:30.

This year we are starting at the Dam Site Inn located in Pellston Mi. We wiil be splitting into two groups and running two trails. Each group will run both trails, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, so you will get to run each trail. Lunch will also be at the Dam SIte. No, not chicken, hot dogs."


The local Off-road group[Trolls] put on this trip every year with different locations each year. This is mostly a stock friendly event for the folks with stock jeeps. I asked my friend who helped me install the lift if he wanted to come since we agreed that a off-road trip would be a repayment for him helping me and he said he'd go. They said the West Trail would be a bit chaliging so we decided to do the West Trail for last. Boy did we save the best for last. The West Trail require alot of 4wd. Glad I got my new CV axles in!

Sorry for the lack of on trail pictures It was raning throught the entire day. I got what little video on a Droid and the majority was recorded with an old Hi8 camcorder. I will be converting the Hi8 tape to digital and uploading them to my Youtube.

I was the only one there that had a Bowtie :mrgreen: Someone had to show the Jeeps up :mrgreen:
