Wife was not impressed

[Britain]

This Sat we deside to go out and test out the new atlas and ram steering. Ah Devils canyon I thought. So we head off by ourselfs. Half way through she starts. "This is boring" ( yea we spent last winter in there) The new low on the atlas starting to take the fun out. Boring???

Ok we have had our eye on something else lets go. The canyon starts out with a verticle 3ft water fall enclosed with boulders. OK no problemo. There goes the nice paint on the rockers, some off the tube fendors. Yea I'm getting into this when I heard her shriek. Shes pointing around this bend. I say to myself what now??

Oh yea a real nice slik rock section. My play ground. We go through it and find a nice sandy boulder thrown section and yet a far nastier water fall at the end. Am I up to this challenge well ok. So her I'am hanging 5, she start again saying "a shiny thing popped of my wheel" ?? What the heck!

Oh lost a lug nut..the tire is coming off damn. Cant jack it here so I'll either back down or go over. real men go over ok now I find the steering dont do nothing the front end is doing the twist! Friggen mods. A track bar bolt has busted off. Great!

She starts again about the line I took. Jeeze I cant win...

Heres the canyon Sorry no pics of my great moment.

Hey,
I thought you were doing DC the end of this month! If I would have known you were going this weekend I would have been there with you. I spent all weekend in the shop doing repair work to the Jeep (but it could have waited)
I'm gonna go look at your pics. Oh, Do I remember right that you have a stroker 6 in your rig? I think thats how I want to go.

Ok..... just keep posting when you guys go. Seems like I have not seen this place yet. I know pictures just dont do the trail justice, but Dish Pan makes Devils Canyon look like an Angel walk. Sooooo... we will just have to run it and see.

See you out there.

P.S. I relate to your dealings with the Wife. nuff said.
