Took the wife out in the Old truck.

[WARWAG]

Or is it Took the Old wife out in the new truck? Either way we went out today and hit the trails near our home. The kids were off at friends for over night stays so we took advantage and went wheeling. I took my wife to show her some old buildings that have been there for quite some time judging by the hand hewn mine shaft support logs. Here are some pics. We plan to hit the trail again in the morning.

Thanks for sharing! What happened to the head light assembly? Can you imagine the amount of personal labor that it took to make that mine shaft? WOW! Didn't stop by HmDpt or Lowes and get some of those timbers. Good to see your wife enjoying the capabilities of the MV and it's ALWAYS nice to get away from the kids for a little while!
God bless,
Tony

That sure looks like fun. I love using my mv's off road. The problem here is, the only thing to look at is mud holes and pine trees. After a while all mud holes look pretty much the same. Please post more pics if you have them. That's some pretty scenery.

Thats right Warwag, rub it in....LOL. Looks like y'all had a good time. What hit your headlight? I sure do miss being able find stuff like that.
There is a dirt road that goes from the Stillwaters ( south of Fallon ) that goes all the way up near Lovelock.....Drove it once in an 03 GMC Serria.

Looks like a nice mine. Is there anything around that shaft warning you that it is there? If you call the BLM and give them the GPS location, they will come out and fence it. I love seeing old mines, but hate to think of someone falling into it, that does not see it there.

Took my wife out in the M1010, for the first time, the other day. She was NOT impressed. I guess that means that I will have to buy a Duce.... maby that will impress her.

Took my old lady out in mine the other day and I was about ready to throw her out before we made it to our detination a whopping ten miles away. I already know it is loud, squeeky, makes unusual noises, has no radio or AC, etc. Saying it 47 times will not change a **** thing! Do they take a class in school for that?

Oh man some of these responses are Classic! Where to begin. OK the head light grille assembly was munched by a tree branch. The trail in most spots is so over grown that only a motorcycle can make it through unscathed. It is a road but just over grown and most sane people wouldnt dare take there rig down it for fear of scratching it. I dont have those worries. In one spot on the down hill side I was in 4 low 1st gear. When I had to make the tight turn and back up to avoid hitting a branch I put it in what I "thought" was Reverse. Turned out to be Drive and i just barely hit the branch...... Rookie move of the day on my part. The mine shaft opening is not covered and there is no fencing or warning signs what so ever. There are many like this and some are over a 1,000 feet deep and much bigger! Saying you need to watch your children and pets is an understatement. I will be back later today as we are getting a late start this morning. I will be posting more pics for sure.

Well we just returned home. We didnt quite make it to our intended destination but its the Journey not the destination that counts. We ran out of time due to many trees being down and after going around and or pulling them out of the way we just had to head back home since the kids were due to arrive by a certain time. Here are a few pics.

My wife has quite the eye for picking up wildlife. She must have spotted over 20 deer on the hill sides. She also said "hey make sure you can see the rifle in the picture". LOL. Next weekend I hope to be hitting the trails again.
