7th ORT Washita MX – 4/21/12
I didn’t have my camera, but my friend grabbed a few with his phone. Minimal damage for me this trip out (Broken door handle, and roached motor mounts). The CJ that was with us managed to sheaer the bolts off his high steer arm on the back side of the park, so we made a long afternoon of dragging him back out. Turned out to not be that big of an ordeal, but it took some time: Travel: Group Shot:…

So we topped off the tank and hit the road for our last 12 hour stretch which would have put us home at 5 ish. At about 60 miles into the trip, in the middle…

Today we wound our way by Mt Rushmore, and through the Badlands of SD. Travel: On the way to Mt Rushmore: Mt. Rushmore: Of course, we had to stop by Wall Drug on the way (worth the stop if you’re going by): Badlands: And now we’re here in Oacoma SD, which is about 12 more hours from home. True to the nature of the beast, the truck is trying to break again. When I pulled off the interstate and pushed…
