The First Hole of the Day
Trip to Bauer's Pit

Last years' pictures are
here.
I must say, this was a fun time.
Joe and I were meeting up with Dan and
his Suzuki, as well as another Suzuki and a Toyota from the Rochester area, to
do a little wheelin at Bauer's Pit. Ironically, this was on the
anniversary of the last big wheelin trip at
Bauer's Pit in 2002. Joe and I arrived about 15 minutes early to the
pit. I debated on just hangin out and watching the four wheelers play, or
getting a jump start on the mud. As we came down into the pit, I noticed
the mud hole that Mikey got stuck in with his Blazer almost up to the top of his
35s last year. The hole seemed much drier this year, so I figured, what
the hell. I'll give this a shot. It shouldn't be that deep...

Exhaust under water, mud almost up to the floorboards,
Joe and I sat waiting for reinforcements. |
Yup, I think we're stuck. |
I definitely think we're stuck. |
Yup, I don't think an ATV is going to be pulling US
out. |
Dan's here! Now he can pull us out, um, well...
I guess he had other ideas. |
An ATV decides to join our fun in this hole. |
Another ATV hooks up to Dan to attempt to pull him out
of this deep mud hole. |

The lifted Toyota from Rochester has arrived. We
met a couple guys with a Jeep Liberty as well. Thumbs up for
actually taking the Liberty on trails and through mud. |
Dan's Suzuki |
Dan's Suzuki again, and of course the Project Blazer. |
The Toyota |
CARNAGE! The Cast Aluminum Lift Blocks on the
Rear Axle decided they had enough. They departed the vehicle, along
with the axle itself, twisting the rear driveshaft in two. |
Hard to tell how steep of a hill the Toyota was trying
to make it up. You could barely walk up it. |
What remains of the rear driveshaft. |
