Walker work, mostly play Party!

Well, after the DNR meeting last tuesday, and finding out about a burned car on one of the singletrack/quad access roads...Us RRR's agreed to head down there today and drag it to the main road where a tow truck could access it...The only catch was it was about 100yds past an old, broken singletrack/quad bridge...Well, my self and japerry went across the bridge to get to the vehicle. The rest walked across so as to not potentially cause more issues with the bridge than it already has...and for personal safety... My camera's out in the truck, but will be tryin to load up the few pics/vids I got.... Thanks for all that came out to lend a hand!!!:awesomework:
After we got the rig out, we headed over to the play area for some fun, where I managed to somehow separate my front driveline (rig is still shackle-forward mind you!) attempting the v-crack...ended up twisting the last 1/2" of spline on the stub as it came out, quickly turning my rig into a 2wd...:booo:

what great day, but daaaaannngggg that sucks that you lost the driveline!

I need to actually get my photos dumped onto my machine, there are some decent vids today!

So we hear that a car is across a broke bridge, but didn't know just how bad it was.. well:

here was our goal... we were told it was a SUBARU... but you could see at first glance, that there was no AWD on it.. so probably not.

More than likely drove!:fawkdancesmiley: Not sure, but my guess is sometime before the bridge went down....it'd have been hauled out long ago, but we were only recently informed of the car...and the area it is is not an area with 4x4 trails, so we don't get down there....
