This hill turned and then there was a series of icy ruts and small ledges.

This hill turned and then there was a series of icy ruts and small ledges.   Jeepslinger went first but kept slipping into this rut.   He tried several more times and we were all wondering if we would make it up this part.   Jeremy said he would try next and took a good line and drove right up.   None of us was willing to let an Amigo leave us behind!   Jim and his Frontier also drove right up.   Another try or two did it for the Cherokee.   Justin in his 4Runner made it up after spinning some tires on the icy rock.   Troopslinger just below the ruts.   Eric just above the ruts.   Above that it turned again and there was another set of ruts.   You had to go past these ruts...   Then pop over this lip...   After that you were pretty much at the crest.   We stopped at the top to throw snowballs and decide which trail to take next.   For some reason everyone gathered around this rock...   There is an angled sloping ledge at the bottom of this hill.   Eric hit the brakes a little early and ended up  sliding sideways but he made it after being tugged straight again.   After that it was an easy ride out.

Justin(4Runner), Jim(Frontier), Jeremy(Amigo), Eric?(S-10), JC?(Cherokee), Troopslinger(Trooper), some passengers and I(Hardbody) met up in southeast Connecticut for a day of wheeling. (I didn't manage to catch everyone's name.) Justin had scouted the area for us and led the group on a snowy and therefore challenging set of trails. We went through some mild snowy trails then over a steep ridge that provided some more challenging icy ledges and ruts. After stopping for chow we headed to an area that ran along a river. We didn't get too far along that trail before it became apparent that the Trooper had sprung a coolant hose leak that took awhile to fix well enough to drive back out. I had a great time wheeling with everyone and would like to finish that trail near the river sometime. Thanks to Justin for the advance legwork in setting this up.
