On Saturday we headed to Elbe at an early 7:30am to meet up with some Jeepers from JK forum and Washington Virtual Jeep Club (WAVJC). There was about 1-2 feet of snow on the trails, and nobody else had been on them, so they were actually a little hard to find. This is the first time we had to break the path, besides just playing in the snow. We, luckily, were not the first ones to have to set the path, as we usually are. A 4-door JK started out, but then he got stuck in a huge mud hole (pictures down below) and later got high-centered on a tree stump. Those darn tree stumps were so hard to see, especially in the snow! We had to literally "yank" him off the stump with toe straps. That was when he realized his winch wasn't working, so he called it a day. Then, another TJ set the path and we were at the back of the pack the rest of the time since we have a winch and CB radio.
We did have an adventure early on when one of the tires popped off the wheel and we had to reset it. After looking at it today, though, Andy noticed there is a stick wedged between the wheel and tire! Whoops!
We saw an eagle on our way. It is right above my head and a little to the left.

Huge mud pit. We ended up going through a different icy mud pit next to it.
The white TJ was too light to pull the 4-door out, so Lucas's XJ had to be the anchor.

Snow makes for a good use as a chair!

7:30pm and finally on our way home after Andy tried to figure out what was causing the "Death Wobble" in the Jeep. Heidi had just woken up from a nap.
What a day!

Looks like Heidi is having fun!
Lucas' Jeep has a new dent in it. I guess he had fun too.
