We had the great pleasure this Labor Day weekend to go camping with my brother Danny and sister-in-law, Kari and many of their friends. We had a great time. Day 1 was very relaxing and we just hung out around camp enjoying the great outdoors.
Come day 2, however, little did we know, we would learn that going a very short distance could take a very long time. Kari's family had their four wheelers there for everyone's enjoyment. We had learned the day before that there was a river about 2 1/2 miles away, but you would need the four wheelers or a four wheel drive vehicle to get there.
So we ask the other campers opinion on whether or not Todd's truck would be ok to drive to the river in. "Oh yeah, no problem" was the consensus. "There are only two tricky spots and the rest is a piece of cake."
So off we go in our truck up the mountain for what would turn out to be an hour long drive to go only 2 1/2 miles! We had two other vechicles with us to assist in case we needed it. Most of the drive was alright, but we had to go very slow. Keeping in mind this is our daily transportation, we didn't want to completely destroy it.
About a half hour into the adventure, we come upon the "two tricky spots". They were short, but definitely tricky. At one point I thought for sure our truck was going to tip over. Seeing it balance on only two wheels will give you that impression.
We did make it through and finally to the river. The stay at the river was not very long and only Todd caught two little fish. Once we finally made it back to camp, I could finally breathe again.
That was enough adventure for me for quite sometime.
