Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Here is the only picture of my near flop. I handed the camera out the window but obviously forgot to turn it back to automatic so the flash would fire. My extraction solution to this was to strap the passenger side rock slider tightly to a tree perpendicular to the truck and then winch forward using the strap as a pivot point. It worked out well, and I could certainly feel the truck try to go over when the rear drivers wheel dropped into the hole.

Ah, there were several pages... Not too many from me, even no Sunday, because Matt would go through something and I'd follow him through it, then without saying anything on the CB, he'd stop and get out and take pictures of people going through the thing I just went through. Such is life...

Hey, at least there are some of you. 
You could have been the one in the front with the only camera! The only pictures I have were parked poser shots! 
I guess I need to find more friends, I have to find someone that I can kick out of the truck and tell him to walk ahead with the camera.

His truck is probably like "You went to badlands without me, and all I got was this lousy sticker?"
The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.
