I managed to resist the temptation of taking the 932 out on the trails Friday, and early Saturday. But after riding in the back of a M35A3 and the cab of another 932, I just couldn't take it any more. I saw them lining up at the shelter for a trail ride, and felt the uncontrollable urge to participate. After all, I'm only human. I quickly tossed the tarp, bows, and staves, and it was off into the woods. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Went out for more later in the evening, stayed in the woods til almost midnite. I even followed Sparky and Auggie thru some pretty technical stuff well after dark. I must say that their trail manners are impeccable. Top notch. I got hung up in the mud a couple of times and had to engage the front end to continue. Stayed out of the thin, runny mud. Didn't want to have to pull down the hubs for post-mudder maintenance. Had NO damage, but discovered that I need to clearance some bed supports to clear the tires during full articulation. I an currently looking for someone with a plasma cutter. UG was all cleaned up Sunday afternoon and stowed back in the warehouse.

I really like the way your off-road lights pierce the darkness. I am wanting to add something to the front of my tractor. Is it just me or are the night time videos just the coolest thing??? For whatever reason, I have always liked night rides the best. We have done them in Georgia with just blackouts (well, mostly) when safe. Of course you gotta turn on the main lights when encountering other trail patrons.

My big lights are landing lights that popacom is selling. They are 450 Watts each. My circuit breaker kept tripping on me, that its why they kept turning off.

Wait a minute. Sparky with a power problem? What's next? Cats and dogs living together.

Found a few pics I took at Haspin in camp - I didn't take the camera out on the trail, everyone has a better camera than I, and the pictures they take always end up here and are good pics, so I don't bother with my camera much. Had a great time again, can't wait for next year....
