Very cool, Ryan! Three things to do now --1. Remember to tread lightly! 2. Go
out and get some extraction stuff while you got the time. Don't know why it
is, but the first couple of times you never run into a problem. After that you
either figure, "been there, done that" and get in trouble -or- ya' tend to get
a little more aggressive and get in trouble. Nothing wrong with either one of
'em unless you don't have the stuff to get yourself out (or help somebody else
get you out). :-) The last is most important --3. Take the time to enjoy
where you are and what your doing. It's all well and good to blast through
some tough spot and keep going, but in my book ya' kinda' missed the point...
Enjoy the view, whatever it is ya' just conquered, take the fishin' poles out
or just go for a swim or something! :-)
L8R,
Tom

Hey all,

Well, took the new Durango off roading yesterday. Went up Azusa canyon.
They have a pretty big OHV area up there. What a blast. Glad I have the
skid plate package, since I heard a couple of thuds going through a stream.
Got out, looked under the truck, and saw a couple nice scratches on the
plates. I will have pics up tomorrow. For my first time 4x4ing, I think I
did pretty good. I didn't get too brave, since I did not have any one else
with me, except my dog. There were a couple other people 4x4ing in the near
vicinity, so I new I would not get too stranded. Well, the Durango did not
let me down. Thanks for all the tips guys, I had a blast. Looking forward
to the next time. Anyone from So Cal know where I am talking about. Maybe
we could get together sometime to 4x4 a little.
