DUNER D'OH!
I had been tooling around Silver Lake, Michigan, for a while and was familiar with the Big Dune and what was after it. After four attempts, we got it, cresting nicely over the top into a small inline dune on the back. We hammered down to launch off, but didn't realize until it was too late that a dune buggy with paddles had stopped and made a 3-foot-deep trench at the top. We hit, the front end went up, and then the rear tried to pass us in the air. I gave it gas to try and pull it out, to no avail. Hanging upside down in your seat belt really sucks after getting hit in the head with everything you didn't tie down.

FIRST FOR EVERYTHING
This was the first time I had been able to talk my mother-in-law into riding along on a wheeling trip. The premise: I wasn't going to do anything major. This was probably the last time she'll ever ride along too.

It seemed like a good idea at the time....

SWAMP HAWG
It was a good idea until we tried it. Broke five trucks and one 12,000-pound winch, but three days and a dozer later, my CJ-7 was out of the swamp.

P.S. - Older, rotted CJs like the radiator outside the grille: It won't get attacked by the fan.

LEAD WEIGHT
Thirty-five-inch BFGs don't float! Imagine! Extraction involved two days, a 4x4 tractor, and a 4x4 back-hoe.
