HCMP(Amigo), Lonewolf(Pathfinder) and I(Hardbody) met up in southeast Vermont for another day of wheeling. We went out to the "Mud Trail", took a side trail down and headed north for a bit to check out some trails we saw on the topo. We found a couple of trails - one with a stream crossing and some hillclimbs and plenty of "logcrawling". I think Jeremy might have bent something under his rig by getting a bunch of logs jammed up there.
Later in the day after Jeremy left, Geoff and I played around on some more local trails. Near dusk, Geoff ended up popping a bead on his tire. It had been raining for hours but it began to pour around then. Geoff ended up having some tierod damage and so did I. The worst part for me was cleaning the mud off. In fact, I hosed it off somewhat then left it for a couple of days until it wasn't raining so I could work on it and when I opened it up, a swarm of blackflies flew out. I guess they had been breeding in the mud in, on and under my truck.
