Spring is officially here...

I could never figure out why Jeep skimped on the roll bar cover behind the front seats, but had it everywhere else...did they figure SE owners weren't going to knock their skull against the bar, because they were unlikely to go off road? Cheapskates.

Lol, maybe...

There's enough dirt on mine to provide sufficient padding.

Rubicons run 4.10s, SEs run 4.10s. Coincidence? I think not... lol

Must be a year to year thing, mine has padding.

So does mine.
New, kinda poser shots...

I coulda' gone over this cut and berm easily, but I was in a hurry to meet up with someone and blowing over these is frowned upon.

A few more from today. Went out to practice with the lever gun and the revolver, but it was futile.

Anyway, we do have rocks on the wet side.

Not that you could scale that in a TJ.

Ran across some interesting logging paraphernalia. If you zoom in on that, it's a WWII tank hull turned into a mobile spar pole. That's something you don't see every day.

Oh snap! We’re getting into ride of the month territory here with these photos!

 

[StG58]

Know what these are?

10 points to anyone who can guess what the notches are for in this old stump.

 

[StG58]

The BLM really, REALLY doesn't want you to go down this trail. It's a fair sized cut and berm.

 

[StG58]

This old, down tree is about 7-8' across the butt. Must have made some noise when it fell.

 

[StG58]

Skid trail. Yes, you can take a TJ up that. No, it won't be fun.

Miscellaneous creek pictures.

"The Meadow"

It's a couple of hundred acres of meadow and wetlands. There's two, maybe three Elk herds that hang out here.

Lol, right? Old school skidders from back when men were men, and trees were TREES.

I'm a Mauser 98 kind of guy. I do like my StG58, the Austrian version of the FAL, but it seems to eat ammo at an atrocious rate sometimes. Finally had to start reloading cast for it. It's a good, reliable, even kinda sexy, rifle. Pairs well with my 1911.

No guesses on what the notches cut into the stump are for? @Squatch? @Head Lice?

I gotta admit, it, my friend...I'm "stumped"...

*For a springboard? Or is it too low for that? Hard for me to gauge the size of that stump...
