Well I went to Morris Mountain ORV in Delta, AL this weekend. It was a lot of fun but my buddy kept breaking his CJ. Here's a few pics. Most are of my buddy. He took a couple of me and there is one video of me but I don't have it yet. Us at the campsite. The not long after we got on the trail the first day my buddy slid down into this hole when he was trying to go around. His clutch linkage came loose so it made it interesting getting back to camp. It was also the second time that day his clutch linkage broke. Here is me on a trail called the Gauntlet. I wasn't stuck but definitely in between a rock and a hard place...pun intended. Then I came up to a couple of rocks. I went around after slamming into them. My buddy had snapped one hub the next day. Here he is about to snap the other and it blew up. First hub. The other hub. This was done after my buddy blew the other hub. I unlocked it and we kept riding until this happened.

It was a blast when I actually got to do some wheeling. We we there from Friday at 4:30pm to the same day Saturday. My buddy just kept having issues which limited me on riding time. Plus it's not quite as fun when you're the only one really wheeling. My buddy was done after the second hub blew so he wasn't really into it anymore. I did have two other buddies going but one had to stay in town for work (power company) and the other didn't go because the other guy wasn't going.

This reminds me, did you ever swap a proper clutch return spring into yours after we trail fixed it with small bungee cords? LOL Looks like a good time, Lou!

It was a good time. It was also my first ride with the potential club I'm looking to join, the Georgia Crawlers. I'm hoping to join and be part of an organization.
