Mmmmmmm.......
I know just the little hill........
.....something better than 45', large rocks and large oak scrub on the
uphill, the lake, a 20 ft drop and limestone on the down hill, and a slick
clay path in between,,,, 2 tracks just a bit over 6 ft wide.
The neat thing is, when you tell your co driver in an M38 to hang off the
windshield and stand on the... (what do you call the thing behind the front
fender?) to keep the uphill wheels on the ground., and they give you that
"you can't really be serious" look.
I just never have gotten into looking UP to light trucks.........
That's what my Deuce is for........ hehehehehe......
And who would accuse me of stirring up sh**, hehehehehe.....
