It was an awesome day! Perfect for a ride in the woods! We met up in the Richloam Forrest and camped out over night! Listened to Vinniesocom's go*D**m generator run all night as I froze my ass off! PCTRANS, Phil, Rayzer, Floridason, ODDBALL of course! You guys were missed, and everyone else that elected not to show!

No mud at the Fla rally this year?
Well, it was a bit wet in 2010. I drove in, parked my truck and other than using it to pull out my golf cart, it didn't move. I enjoy watching everyone else play in the quagmire. I did wade in it for a spell getting other folks freed. Besides showing up with an operational winch this year, I'll also have my snatchup strap from he77, 40' of extra cable and 120' of strap that can be used for winching. That's 190' of rigging besides the 175' of cable on my winch. I'll help but it will be from terra firma!

I think its alot of fun when someone gets really stuck. Like last year at the florida rally I think we did awesome using the resources we had on hand to free a unimog, bobbed 5ton, an m109, and a Frankenstein 5ton dragon wagon. Not to mention all the golf carts! LOL I think the Pinz were the only vehicles that didnt get stuck.

Looks like you all had a good time! I'm going to have to make it to one of the Richloam events so you guys can have a CUCV in your contingent. My M1009 will be easier to pull out of a hole than that 5ton!

Just added a little camo to the green! I bent the stack a little, and the mirrors, but that is a quick easy fix, had a battery go bad while in the mud hole so I could not help with the excavation! Lucky for me Vinniesocom and Grumpy conducted a pro hookup and in minutes I was out! This has been a great truck! I think it's kinda cool that you can still get to see her even soo far away from Delta, PA!

We are lucky we had a good road to pull from (the hole where he got stuck was literally the last hole on the trail) One Deuce didn't even think about moving it. Two Deuces together had to work pretty hard to get it out, but it wasn't too bad. It was a cool sight to see them pull the truck out!

It would have been easier if the 5 ton was running! The battery died and no way to jump it off where it sat. It was a great day for all and the weather was great (during the day). I had a great time and it was nice to have the Pinz back in the woods. Thanks to Vinny and Jack for putting it all together.
