4-Lo 'N Go. My Appalachian Adventure.
Dad and I took the TJ up to George Washington National Forest this weekend for a few days of fun and relaxing wheeling. I got 3-4 hours of seat time driving on the trails, and we took a shi*t load of pics. They tell a story, so I'll skip right to them.
This is right before we made the ascent up to the trail.
We ended up doing that part of the trail in 2WD. After a bit of mountain drifting, we made it to the beginning of the trail.
I'm driving here. We got up on three wheels and thought it was kind of cool. Dad snapped the pics.

Wow! That's some suspension on that Jeep! This why I want a Jeep...so I can do stuff like this.  I showed these pics to my 7 year old son and he was impressed. I can see taking him off roading one day. You were out in the Blue Ridge Mountains? Pretty country.

At the end of the first day's trail. About 7 miles from top to bottom and back. Dad drove down, I drove up.
Me at dinner.

I'm going to host the pictures form today's trail. Those will be up in a minute.
Jinba ittai- We just lifted her about 3-4 months ago and the last time we took her off road, we submerged her in mud. We try to forget about that trip though. because we got stuck hard. The Appalachian/Blue Ridge is beautiful this time of year. Definitely worth seeing, even if you don't make use of the wheeling trails hidden everywhere.

We started the morning with a one point five mile ascent to a favorite rest spot called Spy Rock.
This rock was dry 
When we got there, Dad passed out because he's old
But I posess youth, so I scouted out the rock and took stupid pictures of myself petting the mountain.
But then I passed out too.
