| Rode 43 miles today thru some old strip mine roads that had not been traveled for a long while. Got in a few hairy spots.  Came close to laying it on it's side twice. Very steep with tight switchbacks. Posted a couple pics. As always you cant see the steepness in the pics, but all pics were taken during a hell of a climb. Thru the "Rock Garden"  Stuck at a switchback. Very hairy situation that took some time to get out of.   This is a very long steep climb that no one had been on for a very long time.  Finally back on the road. Safe at last. :D

| Nice pics. Looks like some explorin'. Explorin in a Rhino can become real exciting since chainsaws and whinches can become necessary. Nothing like getting a 1500 lb vehicle in a really tight spot with no easy return... | |
