The stuff the commercials are made of!

So the other day, I had perhaps the most fun I've had in a long time. Off roading in a vehicle that isn't your own! Better yet, a government vehicle! That's right, free-wheeling Humvee! This is the stuff that you see in the commercials and all the army people go, "Ya, I wish we did that". Well, we DID do that. The goal was, we were given a GPS and told, get from here to there. So, we did. We followed the trails, and when we felt the trails were wrong, we made our own! We took down small trees, and nearly took out the front window with this huge branch. We covered the thing in mud as we took it through foot deep water. We took it over fallen trees that were at least 15" in diameter. The vehicle took it like a champ! We even found an old office chair in the middle of the forest. We grabbed it and took it back, hoping to keep it for the tent. We discovered it had a hole in the seat, so we tossed it back. Oh, it was great! I now see the draw to off roading. Let me tell you tho, the Hummer.....the REAL H1 Hummer, is quite a vehicle. It'll beat any SUV hands down in all catigories pertaining to off roading. Stupid H2, H3 and whatever else they got.

Anywho, just thought I'd share that with you.
