Here are some pics of the Southern, IL Trailride I hosted this year.

I want to thank dave01978 from therangerstaton.com and his girlfriend for comming down. They were the only ones to show and I hope I showed them a good time.

I also want to thanks my wife for comming along a taking pics and video.

Here is the start of the trail. We by-passed the "deep" hole as you can see, but I still had to help dave01978 through.

Here we are playing in some of the holes along the trail:

Here is the same hole for my previous page of off-roading pics.

I made it:

dave01978 didn't. But he gavet it one heck of a try though.

Me helping dave01978 out. Note his front wheels. It will be important later.

What you never want to see happen.

And the side of a 2002 Ranger you never want to see.

Fortunately, nobody got hurt and I was able to winch him over and the trailride continued.

I still feel really bad because I should have just winched him out instead of trying to pull him.

Believe it or not, the only damage to the truck was a dent in the rear fender back by the tail-light.

My wife took almost 15 minute of digital video and dave01978 took video and pics as well so I hope to have more pics up soon.

I hope that didn't ruin dave01978's experience.
